Chris has over 25 years of experience with contaminant hydrogeology. He often leads projects where historical characterization and remediation attempts have not succeeded or where newly regulated and/or emerging contaminants are present, bringing a deep knowledge of fate and transport in complex geologic environments. He also works on projects with complex contaminant source areas, groundwater plumes, and soil vapor intrusion scenarios. No matter the challenge, Chris takes a collaborative approach, working with team members to identify the critical elements for success and to communicate these clearly to regulators and stakeholders. Clients often seek Chris out to develop and reevaluate conceptual site models, both pre- and post-remedy construction, to optimize closure strategies, reduce lifecycle costs, and reduce uncertainty.
“I do my best work in a collaborative environment with other consultants, technical experts, and regulators. This has become increasingly valuable as multiple stakeholders engage in large environmental projects. In relationships where trust is often in short supply, collaboration often succeeds where overly competitive and combative approaches fail.”
