Mr. Roberts has managed a variety of environmental projects. His primary project management experience over the past 15 years relates to Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, subsurface investigations, selection and implementation of soil and groundwater remediation methods, underground storage tank closures, and asbestos inspections.  He is a graduate of Manchester College with a B.S. Degree in Environmental Studies/Biology (double-major).

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment project management experience includes properties ranging in size from less than 1.0-acre to several hundred acres that were undeveloped or used for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. Mr. Roberts has performed hundreds of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for individuals, attorneys, developers, real estate companies, lending institutions, and corporations.

Mr. Roberts has developed and implemented work-scopes to investigate soil and groundwater conditions relative to potential on-site and offsite sources of contamination at various residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. These subsurface investigations have addressed potential petroleum and/or chemical contamination in soil and groundwater. Common methods utilized to collect soil and/or groundwater samples have included hollow-stem auger drilling, direct push technology (i.e., Geoprobe®, Earthprobe®, and other similar equipment), hand-auger drilling, and test pits. Groundwater monitoring wells were installed during some of these subsurface investigations to determine site-specific groundwater conditions, such as groundwater flow direction and gradient.

Groundwater remediation experience includes the selection and implementation of remediation methods for petroleum-related compounds. Mr. Roberts has also managed remediation projects involving soils impacted by petroleum-related compounds and chlorinated solvents.

Project management activities relating to underground storage tanks has included budgeting, contractor scheduling, submission of proper state and local notices, performing closure assessments of the tank excavation, and completion of closure reports. Mr. Roberts has also completed investigations and reports required by regulatory agencies for leaking underground storage tanks.

Mr. Roberts has performed numerous asbestos inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. The inspections were either performed as part of a property transfer or in order to satisfy federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to pre-demolition/renovation activities. Mr. Roberts has performed asbestos inspections on structures as small as single family dwelling and as large as a food processing facility with multiple buildings containing more than 100,000 square feet under roof.
