Brunner of AKRF discusses role as environmental scientist and consultant
Having worked as an environmental scientist and consultant for nearly 16 years, my specialty is in managing details for remedial clean-up projects with substantial remediation components, often for large properties with very complex issues. I consistently strive to customize my approach in the creation of remediation strategies, advocating for each client's goals for land use and redevelopment while being mindful of budget and schedule. I've managed complex remedial investigation and remedial action projects under the oversight of New York City Department of Environmental Protection, New York City Office of Environmental Remediation, and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and acted as a liaison between clients, property owners, and regulatory agencies on city, State and Federal levels. It is quite satisfying to work with contractors on the implementation of clean-up strategies that once completed, improve land use and enhance neighborhoods.
