OVERSIGHT STAFFING
AUGUST 11 ► 1995
As per our telephone conversation of this date. I strongly disagree with the sole
focus on engineering staff and expertise for what is more clearly a .
gcologicaVchernical problem. As you know. I am very committed to a multi-
disciplinacy approach to environmental research and remediation, and fee) that a
diverse staff is much more appropriate to successfully completing this task to the
ultimate benefit of the community.
Additionally, I want to restate to you that at no time have I indicated in writing or
verbally to any individual that I was a certified Professional Engineer (P.E.). My
undergraduate concentration was in a program tracking toward environmental
engineering and included chemistry, biology, math and physics. My law school
major programs area was government regulation/with a sub-specialty in
. environmental law.
The above stated notwithstanding, because there is some apparent emphasis or
perceived need for engineers to staff the Warren County PCB landfill oversight,
ECO respectfully offers to provide 1117 one of seve~l ~taff members who are
Professional Engineers, certified and m good standing m the State of North
Carolina to act as Technical Advisor to the Working Group. I would however:
request that the requirement for d~onstrated_ and certifi~d engineering educanon
and expertise be applied to all apphcable parties. Acoord1J18ly, I would ,
recommend that the W()rking Group request that the State pro~ram lead:er/proJect
manager also provide proof of engineering degree and professional certtfioation.
