My consultants are tasked with remediating petroleum contaminated sites like old gas stations with leaking storage tanks. Some of the employees have been with this particular company for over 16 years. I know that their work is challenging and rewarding. Assessing, characterizing, defining, and remediating a plume of contamination is no easy task and the men and women that do it have my utmost respect.
