PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATIONS New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Subsurface Evaluator, License No. 0024390 NJDEP Underground Storage Tank Closure, License No. 0024390 NJDEP Unregulated Heating Oil Tank Program GENERAL BACKGROUND My current responsibilities include managing projects in the Midwest region from a recently established Columbus office. As the individual spearheading the new office, I have the responsibility of servicing the firm's existing client base, pursuing new clientele, and interviewing candidates seeking employment with the company. I have conducted marketing utilizing both traditional networking tech niques as well as social media and other internet-based strategies. I have over 14 years experience as an environmental consultant. I have conducted assessmen ts, investigations, and remediation in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California and Arkansas for a variety of clients including federal, state, and local government agencies, utility companies, major banks, real estate developer s, and private corporations. My fields of specialization include environmental site assessments, Brownfield redevelopment remedial investigations, remedial act ions, underground storage tank (UST) closure, highway improvement studies, const ruction management, vegetation management, and environmental report writing. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Performed numerous Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) of industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential properties in accordance with the Ameri can Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E1527 and Section 40 of th e Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 312 Standards for Conducting All Appro priate Inquiries (AAI) for a variety of clients. Manufacturing facilities, food processing plants, industrial processing plants, resort facilities including go lf courses and a ski resort are examples of the type of sites investigated. Performed a remedial investigation and implemented a remedial action at a 23-ac re property in Edison, New Jersey formerly used as a United States Department of the Army Government Arsenal from 1917 through 1963. Due to the proposed use of the property for residential housing, the project received intense scrutiny fro m the Township of Edison and from the NJDEP. Multiple rounds of soil sampling w ere conducted in order to determine the contaminants of concern at the Site. The Arsenal's former operations included receiving, storing, shipping, transferring and packing ammunition, including projectiles, fuses, pyrotechnics, grenades, b oosters, and trinitrotoluene. Areas of concern identified included: buried munit ions, a former oil transfer pipeline, railroad spur bedding material, site-wide operational impacts, a former fuel oil UST, a transformer, buildings formerly ho using a motor pool for the Arsenal, and former pesticide use. Contaminants of co ncern within the soil included PAHs and priority pollutant metals (primarily ars enic and lead). Groundwater investigations conducted by the Army Corps of Engine ers documented the absence of groundwater impacts on the Site. The remedial acti ons for the identified site contaminants included a combination of excavation of off-site disposal and on-site encapsulation. The buried munitions, former oil t ransfer pipeline, UST and arsenic-impacted railroad bedding material were excava ted and transported for off-site disposal. The site-wide contamination consisti ng of low level exceedances of PAHs and priority pollutant metals were too wides pread and present in too high a volume of soil to consider off-site removal. A R emedial Action Workplan to address the site wide contamination consisting of onsite encapsulation under an engineered combination of caps was proposed and acce pted by the Township and the NJDEP. The caps consisted of the building slabs, pa

rking lots and sidewalks, and clean soil overlaying a synthetic fabric layer (Mi rafi). Building construction included the installation of active sub-slab depre ssurization systems in each residential unit. Performed a Phase I and a Phase II ESA of a 13-acre former industrial facility in Pennsylvania that generated hazardous waste for over 100 years. Facility ope rations included the manufacturing of equipment and spare parts for the printing industry, and high speed braiding machines for high pressure hose reinforcing, and electroplating operations that discharged untreated wastewater contaminated with heavy metals, solvents, and acids into onsite injection wells. The Phase I I ESA included soil and groundwater sampling to assess previously undocumented i mpacts from historic operations as well as an evaluation of previously identifie d groundwater contamination as it related to the proposed redevelopment of the p roperty as a mixed use commercial and residential site. The Phase II ESA result s have been submitted to PADEP in order to obtain liability relief under the Pen nsylvania Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2). P ADEP has approved the Act 2 Cleanup Plan and remediation of the Site is nearly c omplete. Directed a Phase I ESA and hazardous materials building survey of a site with f our multi-story buildings on one city block in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsy lvania. This site was proposed for the largest redevelopment project to occur i n Philadelphia in the last decade. Specific areas of concern addressed on this site included gasoline USTs encased in inaccessible, subbasement vaults, PCB-con taining electrical equipment and PCB-impacted building surfaces, as well as asbe stos containing building materials and lead based paint. Due to financing deadl ines, field inspections of the entire 766,000 square feet of building space were completed within one week. Conducted soil and groundwater investigations at a fabric dyeing facility in or der to design a groundwater treatment system and remediate the site. As part of the treatment system permitting process, I negotiated with the City of Paterson to obtain consent for the treatment system discharge to be released to the comb ined municipal sewer system under a NJDEP Treatment Works Approval (TWA). This was the first remedial project with this type of discharge to be approve
