EXPERIENCE SUMMARY:

Ms. Melton has managed a diverse range of environmental projects in southwest Missouri and across the United States.  As President and Owner of Environmental Works, Inc., Ms. Melton is responsible for the management of over 50 technical and administrative staff members.  In recent years, her focus has shifted to overall management of business operations and marketing, however, Ms. Melton acts as the principal scientist for certain special projects, including RCRA compliance, tank closure and compliance, hazardous waste management/disposal, subsurface investigations, site characterization and development of remedial alternatives for petroleum, hazardous waste and PCB impacted sites. 

KEY PROJECT SUMMARY:

Maintains overall responsibility for multiple environmental projects being conducted across the United States for a major rail carrier.  These projects include subsurface investigations, stormwater compliance and permitting, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, development of remedial alternatives for contaminated sites, and emergency response.  As project manager, Ms. Melton is responsible for the coordination of technical staff and multiple subcontractors, cost and schedule tracking, and regulatory agency negotiation.  Because these projects are located across the United States, Ms. Melton is also familiar with relevant applicable local, state and federal environmental regulations, which in turn allows her to provide comprehensive regulatory support to the client.

Managed and completed underground storage tank closures for numerous industrial and commercial properties, and was responsible for ensuring that the closures were conducted under applicable state and federal requirements.  Many of these sites have moved into site characterization, remediation or risk assessment, and closure has been successfully obtained. In addition, many of these projects were completed under an accelerated schedule in order to meet the client’s needs.  Ms. Melton has also served as an expert witness, interpreting data and developing conclusions based on her extensive understanding of technical and regulatory issues.
