Abstract Details

2017, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
Throughout the first ten months as a full-time environmental scientist at Amec Foster Wheeler, an international consulting firm, I have been exposed to a multitude of different projects. From conducting building characterization studies to helping with Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, each experience has allowed me to gain new technical and professional skills. This report provides an in-depth discussion of the regulations and methodology associated with Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, asbestos inspections and abatement oversight, and presence and absence bat surveys. At the end of each chapter, case-studies are provided to illustrate how the regulations and methodology are applied in the field. The Institute for the Environment and Sustainability (IES) Master of Environmental Science (M.En.) program at Miami University was invaluable in preparing me for a career as an environmental consultant, and I will continue to use the knowledge gained from the IES program to build relationships with future clients.
