Miscellaneous compliance projects including NSR and Title V Air Permits, Hazardous Waste Management, Site Phase 1 Audits, Salt Water Injection Well assistance, and others.

Prepared and maintained environmental compliance projects, procedures, and policies to ensure ongoing compliance with permits and federal regulations. • Successfully negotiated multiple New Source Review Air Operating Permits and Renewals with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for multiple chemical and polymer plant operations, resulting in reasonable and efficient technical and administrative requirements. • Implemented Basic Environmental Expectations Program at Longview site, which was targeted to provide higher recognition, understanding, and compliance of regulatory requirements. Program designed to provide gut level understanding of complex requirements to operating and technical personnel.• Participated in multiple NSR permit and multi-media audits and inspections by the TCEQ and USEPA.• Led internal company inspections and audits for compliance at multiple sites. • Installed and tested environmental control devices, including catalytic oxidation units, flares, absorbers, and scrubbers.• Championed multiple project teams, implementing site-wide regulatory programs, including Title V air compliance, Maintenance, Startup and Shutdown permit, Federal MACT regulations, and Flare Management coordination. • Mentored new engineers and technical personnel on environmental compliance needs and processes.

Analyzed plant operations to develop and implement capital projects to reduce costs, improve safety and environmental compliance, and improve profitability. • Planned and supervised multi-day Ethylene Oxide Reactor Catalyst Changes with 50+ contractors and subcontractors. • Led team that evaluated on-site oxygen / nitrogen production vs. third party provider. Result was the shutdown and sale of two obsolete air plants, installation of a pipeline to a new third party air plant, and cost reduction of >$5M / year.• Prepared and implemented projects modifying distillation trains in two production units that reduced energy costs by ~ $3M / year.• Developed and implemented process to improve the handling properties of solid proprietary chemical. • Implemented Statistical Process Control practices in multiple operating units.• Managed multiple capital projects of varying sizes ($25K - $1.5M) concurrently throughout this assignment.

Managed safety programs for an operating and maintenance division of ~300 people.• Managed and distributed division safety statistics to management for implementation.• Assisted in developing and implementing corporate and site safety programs in the division.• Prepared monthly division cost variance analyses and reports.

Developed projects to reduce costs and improve plant operations.• Developed solutions to process plugging that increased on-stream time of equipment by 2%.• Designed process to recover low molecular weight waxes to reduce waste and provide salable product.
