Supporting development and implementation of an integrated ESH management system (EMS) at

four IRS service centers as a subcontractor to ICF International. The high level EMS manual is

being developed while going ahead to implement the processes for EHS aspect assessment and

corrective and preventive action. The operational dependence on resident contractors clearly pulls

their activities within the scope of the EMS. This presents the challenge of ensuring implementation

of appropriate operational controls and training/competence requirements while dealing with

existing contracts.

Past Projects

EPA Office of Policy, Economics, and Innovation (OPEI), Washington, DC

Developed the training program to prepare EPA and State Agency personnel to conduct site visits of

members of the National Environmental Performance Track (NEPT) program. This training ensures

a consistent approach to verifying that the program members are conforming to the requirements of

NEPT membership. Site visit personnel will also learn how to conduct system reviews, identify

opportunities for improvement, and in general assist the members by making the site visit a positive

event. Tetra Tech supports the EPA NEPT Program by participating in member site visits and

preparing reports. To date five training events across the nation have been completed. The next

contract beginning in January 2008 will include more training and site visits in addition to upgrade

of the training course for certification by the RABQSA. The NEPT program was discontinued by

RCRA PERMITTING AND WASTE-MANAGEMENT RELATED PROJECTS

Mr. Kemp has extensive hazardous waste management experience gained as the part owner, vice

president, and facility manager of a startup waste management company that built a TSDF in 1980.

The organization grew to $6 million in revenue prior to its sale in 1989. Mr. Kemp was managing

65 employees working in plant operation, transportation, laboratory analysis, marketing and sales,

and accounting and general and administrative support. He was instrumental in writing the permit

conditions/procedures and the negotiations which resulted in receiving a Part B permit in 1984.

As the facility manager for another TSDF in the early 1990s, he again was involved in a successful

permitting effort. His primary goal was to bring the facility under control and increase productivity.

In addition to brining the facility into compliance after seven months productivity had increased

35% with a reduction in the work force of 45%. The facility was successfully sold 14 months after

Mr. Kemp was hired.

Through his positions at these two facilities, he assisted waste-generating customers with waste

management issues such as source generation, waste characterization, proper container labeling,

storage, and shipment. In his 13 years as facility manager for these two different TSDFs, he was

responsible for building and managing the systems required to run a permitted facility properly.

Other Waste Management Experience

Managed numerous removals of hazardous waste container backlogs. Materials were

characterized, packaged and shipped to proper disposal facilities. When appropriate,

the waste materials were de-containerized and shipped to the disposal facilities in

bulk form to take advantage of the less expensive freight and disposal fees. Project

planning included operational as well as health and safety considerations.

Planned and directed teams in the clean-out of chemical storage tanks holding

materials such as non-recyclable trichloroethylene and flammable liquid/sludge

contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl. Managed the characterization

clearance transportation and disposal of the waste materials.

Packaged and disposed of six truckloads of small quantities of obsolete pesticide

materials for a national pest control company in Memphis, Tennessee. Great care

was taken in handling and repackaging the materials because little was known about

the materials, except that they were pesticides, A detailed computer inventory was

maintained so the customer could re-bill each branch office for material disposal.
