REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Chemical Manufacturer - Former Pigment Manufacturing Site Glens Falls, NY
Senior Project Manager - Responsible for post closure care, O&M, remedy evaluation and optimization at a 60-acre
hazardous waste site managed under a Part 373 Permit. The site was a former pigment manufacturing facility that
operated for nearly 100 years. Impacts included metals in soils and multiple groundwater zones. The accepted remedy
includes capping and hydraulic containment, which is to be achieved by groundwater capture via an overburden trench
and bedrock extraction wells. Evaluation of the hydraulic containment remedy indicated it was not achieving goals.
 Performed operational evaluation, corrective O&M, redesigned systems and installed system upgrades.
 Evaluated system performance and the site conceptual model to reassess groundwater and contaminant dynamics.
 Oversaw preliminary redesign and cost estimation for a new containment system and controls.
 Conducted remedial alternative analysis focused on alternatives and costs to replace the current remedy.
 Prepared and negotiated permit modifications and renewal application for Part 373 Permit with NYSDEC.
 Developed plans, bid documents, budgets and oversaw closure of a 500,000 gallon process waste AST.
Electrical Manufacturer - Hazardous Waste Landfill Site Syracuse, NY
Senior Project Manager - Managed remedial investigations at two 20-acre inactive hazardous waste landfills under a
Consent Order with NYSDEC. Affected media included sediments, soil, waste, groundwater and surface water, which
were impacted by organic compounds, heavy metals and PCBs. Implemented and oversaw investigation activities
designed to delineate the nature and extent of impacted media, both onsite and in adjacent wetlands and streams.
IRMs were installed as part of the project to minimize migration of PCB impacted sediments to offsite surface water
bodies. Prepared RI reports, developed project strategy and negotiated with NYSDEC.
Major Petroleum Retailer - Former Retail Petroleum and Bulk Storage Facility Ogdensburg, NY
Project Manager - Implemented a fixed cost to closure alternative at a property that included a bulk storage terminal
and retail gasoline station. NYSDEC required the owner to conduct investigations and remedial activities to address
historic petroleum releases. To support closure of the petroleum spills, the storage facility and divestiture of the
property, a remedial strategy was developed to address impacted unsaturated soils via excavation and groundwater
impacts by in-situ methods to enhance biodegradation. Supplemental in-situ chemical oxidation treatment was also
utilized. Overall, 6,000 tons of soil was removed from the site and soil and groundwater action levels were achieved.
Demolition of the retail and bulk storage facilities, which included loading racks and 10 ASTs, was also completed.

Major Cable Company - Former Bus and Rail Station Syracuse, NY
Project Manager - Led the assessment of an abandoned bus station and historic rail station for a cable provider that
was evaluating the site for a new broadcast station. Following completion of a Phase I, targeted site investigations
defined the nature and extent of soil and groundwater impacts onsite. A remedial scope was then developed and
negotiated with NYSDEC under the Voluntary Cleanup Program. Remedial activities included: excavation of petroleum
and metals impacted soils, removal of tanks and hydraulic lifts and installation of wells. During redevelopment
managed: decontamination of the building impacted by pigeon waste, asbestos abatement, removal of universal
wastes, and disposal of all waste materials. The site obtained closure and a release from liability from NYSDEC.
Textile Cleaner - Former Industrial Laundry Facility Rochester, NY
Senior Project Manager - Developed facility demolition plan and bid specification package and oversaw demolition of a
former industrial linen cleaning facility in support of divestiture of the property. Plans and specifications were used to
solicit subcontractor costs for activities including: a pre-demolition hazardous material survey, waste management,
asbestos abatement, 3r d
party air monitoring, tank closure, demolition and site restoration. Managed bid review and
award services, supervised all demolition activities, assessed sub-slab soils and prepared closeout documents.
Heavy Equipment Sales and Service Dealer - Multiple Service Facilities New York State
Project Manager/Project Geologist - Conducted multi-site Phase I assessments and developed liability costs for
individual facilities in support of transaction negotiations. Upon completion of each Phase I, summarized areas of
concern and then developed and implemented Phase II site investigations to assess potentially impacted areas.
Remediation of areas of concern was completed at each site to support close out of outstanding liabilities, regulatory
close out of petroleum spills and to satisfy the terms of sale.
Investment Capital Firm - Switch Manufacturing Facility Waterbury, CT
Senior Project Manager - Provided a comprehensive review and evaluation of historic site investigation and remedial
data for a manufacturing site with onsite and offsite chlorinated organic compound impacts in groundwater and onsite
vapor intrusion issues. A feasibility study was developed to evaluate long term remedial options and costs and options
were then selected that would reduce long term liabilities. The evaluation was conducted to evaluate environmental
liabilities, determine risks and to support the property owners with negotiations during a proposed sale of the facility.
Specialty Chemical Manufacturer - Production Facility Albany, NY
Senior Project Manager - Conducted a comprehensive review of remedial programs, Part 373 Permit documents and
monitoring plans as part of an audit to assess the overall remedial program and compliance with existing permit
conditions. Evaluation of compliance with regulatory requirements and effectiveness of the remedies supported
recommendations for areas for improvement or change. A findings matrix was developed and discussed with program
leaders to support an understanding of areas of weakness and areas where program changes could be made.
