Sediment Site Investigation and Dredged Material Management Consultant Windward Environmental LLC is seeking a lead, senior, or principal consultant to join our sediment site investigation and dredged material management practice. The successful candidate will demonstrate knowledge of:
  • Contaminated sediment sites regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), and other state-led programs (e.g., execution of remedial investigations and feasibility studies, development of sampling designs, and preparation of reports)
  • Dredged material evaluation and disposal procedures as defined by the Dredged Material Management Program (DMMP)
