About Eric A. Stern

Eric's career (federal government, consulting, start-up and academic sectors) spans over 35 years of global sediment management professionalism that focuses on innovative approaches to Sediment Management: Assessments, Regulatory Permitting, Remediation, Regional Facilities Development, Materials Handling, Upland Placement, Beneficial Use/Sustainability and Stakeholder involvement. Eric's trans-disciplinary experience and knowledge base applies integrated cross-management program approaches to solving complex contaminated sediment and multi-media challenges. This approach utilizes innovative sediment treatment technologies with beneficial use applications (sediments are a resource) that can drive economic development within a urban (brownfields) - watershed sediment management framework. For example, application of Pneumatic Flow Tube Mixing (PFTM) to produce an engineered structural fill material for beneficial use. The process can operate on the water (barge) or on land pumping the sediment/Portland cement (or other binders) up to 1 km + with booster pumps. During Eric's US Army Corps of Engineers (NYD Operations Div)/US Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 (Sediments and Ocean Team) public service career (25 years), he worked closely with Superfund, the USEPA Great Lakes National Program Office and USACE Districts and Government Research Laboratories on contaminated sediment projects and programs. Eric is a leader on ex-situ treatment technology development and it's application to the development of regional sediment manufacturing processing centers. Eric managed for USEPA, the New York/New Jersey Harbor Sediment Decontamination Program which seeded technical transfer to other Ports/regions; Puget Sound, Ports of Seattle and Baltimore, Port of Bridgeport/Connecticut, Portland Harbor - Oregon, Hong Kong Harbor, Latvia, Norway, Krakow (Poland), and the Port of Venice (Italy). Eric is a member of the European Sediment Network (SedNet) and contributed to the SedNet Treatment/Remediation Work Group. Eric was a contributor to the recent European Union CEDA Papers on Beneficial Use of Contaminated Sediments. He continues to be a keynote/invited speaker at national and international venues in the areas of contaminated sediment and sustainable waste management. Eric is an Adjunct Professor in the Earth and Environmental Studies Graduate Department focusing in Environmental Management and Water Resources at Montclair State University (MSU), New Jersey USA. Presently, Eric is a collaborator with the MSU Clean Energy and Sustainability Analytics Center.

    Tipping Point Resources Group, Llc / Www.Tprgllc.Com Jan 2017 - Present
    Greater New York City Area
    Tipping Point Resources Group, LLC (TPRG) was formed to assist the maritime industry in need of dredged material/contaminated sediment and beneficial use placement alternatives at critical junctures, or tipping points; moments that all too often result in paralysis or missed opportunities.TPRG integrates innovative, implementable and cost effective dredged material processing solutions for the sustainable management of sediments and soils with beneficial use as a driver. Our strategy blends life-cycle sediment treatment applying innovative processing technologies with upland dredged material placement for beneficial use brownfield remediation and coastal restoration. This positions our partners to catalyze economic development and urban revitalization; moving beyond the tipping point to balance current challenges and leverages future opportunities and growth.One application is the use of Pneumatic Flow Tube Mixing (PFTM) for stabilization of soft sediments which produces a structural fill for beneficial use at brownfield sites (see presentations). The use of this process fixed at a Regional Dredged Material Manufacturing Facility (RDMMF) and/or barge mounted system allows processing flexibility - such as directly at a dredging project site where the amended PFTM dredged material can be pumped directly upland for beneficial use (capping material), elevation enhancement, and behind bulkheads. TPRG is comprised of engineering, scientific and regulatory practitioners from government, industry, consulting, and academia that came together at the tipping point to work with the Port-commerce community that includes, marinas, industrial /commercial and a municipal client base that want and need to moves beyond analysis that leads to inaction with no viable outcomes. With an understanding of economic and community awareness in driving environmental programs forward, TPRG is forging a new beginning with a full range of motion – with no paralysis.
