Client Service
Suzanne manages numerous environmental policy and management system (EMS) development and implementation projects under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) compliance-focused EMS standard. Although the systems that Suzanne develops more closely resemble those developed under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard, they are accepted by USEPA for use under these conditions. The end result for her clients is an optimally performing and flexible system. One of Suzanne’s EMS clients has seen the number of Clean Water Act (CWA) violations drop from almost 150 to less than four over the past five years. Another client was able to reduce wastewater treatment costs and increase by-product revenues through system implementation.
Suzanne also serves as project manager or director for regulatory compliance evaluations and assessments. Using her extensive knowledge of environmental regulations associated with CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, and CWA, she helps clients develop assessment and audit protocols at industrial facilities throughout the United States. She has prepared chemical inventories, emissions reports, and permit applications and developed management and pollution prevention plans for hazardous wastes and materials and industrial waste and stormwater.
In addition, Suzanne coordinates environmental site assessment, investigation, and remediation, including work-plan preparation, permitting, subcontractor management, interaction with business and community representatives, review and evaluation of data, and preparation of reports. Suzanne prepares Quality Assurance Project Plans and serves as Quality Assurance Manager for complex environmental investigation and remediation projects. In this work, she establishes in-house protocols for data validation and leads data usability review projects. Suzanne also has training and experience in completing Phase I Environmental Site Assessments in accordance with USEPA’s All Appropriate Inquiry/ASTM E1527 requirements and directs due diligence projects for Geosyntec’s Rockies Branch.
To advance the state of the practice, Suzanne serves on Geosyntec’s Environmental Management Action Group Steering Committee; mentors mid-career practitioners within the firm; and is the Board President of the Colorado Environmental Management Society.
