Rotary International, Downtown Club 21 Work History1997 - date Principal, Spring Environmental, Inc., Spokane, WA 1994 - 1996 Consulting Engineer, OMNI Environmental Services, Inc., Beaverton, OR 1991 - 1994 Environmental Engineer, GE Plastics, Selkirk, NY 1990 - 1991 Process Engineer, GE Lighting, Cleveland, OH Work Experience (Selected Examples)AuditingConducted annual formal compliance audits for a chemical manufacturing facility for air, water, waste, and emergency planning. Negotiated an action plan with operations personnel and provided follow up communications on the status of the action plans. The audit was conducted using off-the-shelf software modified in-house to incorporate state and facility requirements. Developed and conducted environmental performance assessments for two printing operations and several utility transmissions locations. The assessments compared the actual operations with the internal protocols and procedures. Variations were discussed with operations staff and an action plan developed. Follow-up reports were provided to management and operations personnel. EngineeringInvestigated sources of fugitive dust emissions at a grain handling facility and recommended measures for minimization. Once the client and regulatory agency accepted the preferred options, project management was provided to implement recommendations. Conducted final inspections to verify equipment specifications for installation and operability. Evaluated incinerator efficiency using physical and chemical parameters such as CO or NOx emission rates, temperature, and/or process rates. Investigated measures to increase efficiency (energy use, combustion) and managed implementation of modifications. MonitoringSupervised and conducted air quality source testing for various contaminants including particulate matter (TSP and PM10), carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, mercury, chlorine, ammonia, formaldehyde. Managed source testing for approximately 30 facilities in several industries including mineral fibers, pulp and paper, wood products, asphalt production, printing, plastics manufacturing and veterinary crematorium. PermittingUpdated
and maintained over 400 source permits for a large chemical manufacturing
facility. The engineering
assumptions for each source were reviewed every three years and the emissions
recalculated as appropriate. In
addition, administrative information was revised – hours of operation, source
description and control equipment description.
During the three-year cycle each permit was revised either
administratively or technically. Changes
were negotiated with the state agency. When
the permits were revised, the monitoring systems were modified to incorporate
any additional required parameters. Supported
the development of a RCRA Part B permit. A
team of industry engineers and consultants reviewed each aspect of a Treatment,
Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) and prepared a comprehensive Part B permit
application. The facility included a
5-cell landfill, leachate collection and treatment, solvent recycling,
boiler/industrial furnaces, non-hazardous incinerators, biological wastewater
treatment and drum storage and recycling. Developed
and negotiated air permit applications for Title V, synthetic minor and minor
sources including lithographic printing operations, bakery glaze operations,
veterinary clinics and wood products. Emissions
inventory, regulatory review, modeling, employee commute options, and
flexibility analysis were significant aspects of each of these projects. Safety Engineering
Developed
accident prevention plans for various industries including chemical
manufacturing, furniture manufacturing and printing.
Conducted hazard analysis including physical, chemical, and biological.
Reviewed applicability and supervised implementation of Process Safety
Management program. TrainingProvided
emergency coordinator and waste management training to waste management
personnel at a TSDF and several printing operations.
Annual training is required under RCRA, so this program was updated and
included interactive instructions. Also
provided site-wide emergency response training at various locations to over
1,000 people annually. Developed and provided hazard communication (DOT and OSHA) training to various
facilities in the printing and utility transmission industries.
This annual training included regulatory updates and introduction to
technical resources in an interactive multimedia format. Waste Management
Developed
pollution prevention programs for a large chemical manufacturing facility and
several printing operations.
The pollution prevention solutions included cost-effective recycling and
raw material substitution for ink, solvents, paper, and cardboard.
Developed plans and reported results through appropriate environmental
programs including SARA, RCRA and EPCRA.
Defined and initiated comprehensive waste management program for various
facilities including chemical manufacturing, printing operations and bakery
glaze operations.
The waste management programs included developing accident prevention and
emergency response plans, training employees, initiating contracts with waste
management companies, defining and engineering staging areas, acquiring labeling
supplies and documenting manual for waste management program. Defined and initiated comprehensive waste management program for various facilities including chemical manufacturing, printing operations and bakery glaze operations. The waste management programs included developing accident prevention and emergency response plans, training employees, initiating contracts with waste management companies, defining and engineering staging areas, acquiring labeling supplies and documenting manual for waste management program. |
