William Going has more than
30 years of experience in environmental site assessment, including
multi disciplinary investigations of hazardous waste management
facilities, industrial/utility plant sites, transportation corridors,
and residential/commercial properties. He is certified by the
Institute Of Hazardous Materials Management at the Master level.
He is an NYSDOL-certified asbestos inspector. His administrative
responsibilities include personnel management, financial control
of environmental studies, and environmental services marketing.
His technical responsibilities include environmental study design;
coordination of field logistics; supervision of data collection
by aquatic and terrestrial ecologists, chemists, toxicologists,
hydrogeologists, land-use planners, and engineers; and data analysis
and report writing/editing in the development of environmental
site assessments. He is also active in litigation support and
strategy.

Environmental Site Assessments: Conducted
more than 1000 Phase I and II "due diligence" investigations,
Preliminary Site Investigations, and Remedial Investigation/Feasibility
Studies at commercial/industrial and high density residential
properties for purposes of identifying and abating environmental
impairment and liabilities, e.g. leaking underground storage tanks
and electrical transformers, asbestos contaminated buildings,
PCB and metal contamination in soils and sludge, and petroleum
and solvent contamination in groundwater. Participated in preliminary
field investigations at more than 100 inactive hazardous waste
disposal sites throughout New York State under the auspices of
the NYSDEC Superfund Program (Phases I and II). Responsible for
planning and conducting file searches, site reconnaissance, and
data interpretation efforts designed to: (1) characterize former
disposal operations and any potentially hazardous substances that
may be present at sites, (2) identify pathways by which pollutants
might be migrating from the original sites of disposal, and (3)
determine what population or resources might be affected by pollutants
from the sites.
Regulatory Compliance
Audits: Conducted numerous environmental regulatory compliance
audits for private industry and for government which focused on
RCRA, SARA, OSHA, and CWA, e.g. conducted three-month long audit
at major petroleum refinery in Bayonne, New Jersey; conducted
audit at textile dye house/printing facility in Newburgh, New
York, including indoor air and noise sampling, and wrote HAZCOM
program and conducted worker training; conducted audits of SARA
Tier I and II/ Form R at 40 representative industrial facilities
for State of Rhode Island. Arranged a program for a workshop on
federal RCRA, DOT, TSCA, and state regulatory requirements for
storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous wastes for
the Hudson River Environmental Society.
Environmental Impact
Assessments: Experienced with environmental impact statements,
environmental assessments, and various regulatory environmental
exhibits (such as NEPA/SEQR EISs, 316[a] and 316[b] Demonstrations,
and FERC exhibits) for projects ranging from nuclear and coal-fired
power plant sitings to hazardous waste management facility sitings
to proposed residential/commercial developments. Responsible,
as project manager, for preparation of "NEPA type" draft
environmental impact statements for one multifaceted (municipal,
industrial, and hazardous) waste disposal site and three proposed
hazardous waste disposal facilities operated by CECOS International,
Inc. Prepared and used an assessment checklist to evaluate the
environmental suitability of sites proposed to be used for storage,
treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes by DJC Conversion
Systems, Inc.
Remedial Investigation
and Risk Assessment: Directed sampling of surface water,
groundwater, sediments, and biological specimens and subsequent
assessment of risk to human and environmental health that could
result from an outbreak of contaminated, oily wastes from the
Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill into Jamaica Bay on the south shore
of Long Island.
Biothreat Ranking:
Designed and directed efforts to develop a biological threat-ranking
model for the NYSDEC Bureau of Hazardous Site Control. The model
examined the natural environment of inactive hazardous waste sites
all across New York, and ranked potential threat to fish and wildlife
resources.
Aquatic Ecology:
Supervised limnological baseline and predictive impact assessment
studies in Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, the Hudson River, the Mohawk
River, and numerous smaller freshwater lakes, strip-mine ponds,
and streams from Maine to North Carolina and west to Illinois
for the Hudson River Utilities, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation,
C.T. Main, Inc., and the Illinois Coal Gasification Group, among
others. Directed hiring and training of field biologists to collect
fishery, benthos, plankton, and water quality data and was responsible
for field logistics and quality control of aquatic ecological
studies.
Terrestrial and Wetlands
Ecology: Conducted surveys of mammals, birds, reptiles,
amphibians, and vegetation in terrestrial habitats, including
northern coniferous forest, eastern deciduous forest, southeastern
coastal plains, and both coastal and freshwater wetlands throughout
the Northeast for electric utilities, engineering firms, and government,
including the New York Power Authority, Wehran Engineering, the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the NYSDEC. Reviewed
project impacts and alternatives utilizing habitat evaluation
procedures; collected baseline data and projected environmental
effects, so as to qualify and quantify changes to fish and wildlife
resources.
Lake Reclamation and
Management: Supervised "314" Clean Lakes Program
studies on several lakes in the Northeast to examine the nutrient
dynamics and sediment loading of the aquatic systems and to identify
realistic techniques for abating the eutrophication process. Examined
mechanical, chemical, and biological techniques, and conducted
research on biological control of aquatic macrophytes using the
white amur. Clients included the Town governments of Sussex, New
Jersey and Monroe, New York, as well as private lake associations.
