Client Service
Ruth has lead project teams in using the latest risk assessment and data analysis technologies to optimize remedial approaches. These approaches provide adequate risk reduction while being cost-effective. She has provided critical input into the risk management planning for proposed redevelopment properties in the United States and globally. Applying her extensive project management experience involving state and federal Superfund programs, state voluntary cleanup programs, and technical interactions with state and local regulators, she develops comprehensive site assessment and remediation strategies. Her strategies not only meet the environmental stewardship and financial management objectives of her clients, but also fully address regulatory compliance issues.
In addition to her risk assessment practice, Ruth is actively involved in site assessment and remediation projects, working with clients such as the Los Angeles Unified School District on site redevelopment initiatives.
