I work with a talented team of engineers, safety professionals, industrial hygienists, work planners, and project managers to evaluate and mitigate hazards. I am responsible for reviewing engineering documents, work planning documents, and field work to ensure that environmental hazards are mitigated and environmental regulatory requirements are fulfilled. I deal with environmental regulations in various media including Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, RCRA, NEPA, and TSCA. In addition I head up programmatic efforts in negotiations with state regulators, procedure development, and providing subject mater knowledge to other disciplines.
