Relevant Project Experience:

Industrial Facility Decommissioning / Closure: Project Manager for environmental decommissioning of over 25 large industrial facilities after cessation of production activities to properly prepare the property and improvements for sale ‘as-is’, strip-out, or demolition. These activities, conducted throughout the United States, involved implementation of decommissioning assessments, determination of decontamination criteria, preparation of specifications and bid documents, oversight of decommissioning contractors, and preparation of final decommissioning documents.

Hazardous Waste / RCRA: Project Manager on turnkey design and construction management of Interim Corrective Measures (RCRA closure) systems in the State of Kentucky and Florida. Mr. Napolitan acted as Project Coordinator on RCRA closure of a HWMU that involved in-situ stabilization and solidification of the HWMU and installation of a final cover in Florida, as well as a Project Manager for Closure and Post-closure care as part of a RCRA Part B Permit Closure involving design and implementation of a SVE / LNAPL / groundwater recovery system in Florida. Mr. Napolitan was also involved as Project Coordinator for oversight of environmental consultants and contractors for Permit Closure of four HWMUs in the State of Connecticut.

Mr. Napolitan has been involved for over 20 years with waste characterization, waste profile preparation, management, disposal facility selection, waste disposal and transportation cost analysis, and procurement of large industrial client Hazardous and Universal Waste streams during facility decommissioning as well as part of production activities.

Due Diligence: involved in the preparation and review of due diligence reports for over 1,000 commercial property transactions including retail, office, industrial, multiple family residential, skilled nursing, and assisted living facilities through preparation of Phase I & II ESAs, Property Condition Assessments, Tax Credit Capital Needs Assessments, Construction Progress Monitoring, and Michigan Part 201 Baseline Environmental Assessments (BEAs) and 7a Compliance Analysis (Due Care Plan) for conduit lenders, HUD (Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) Guide Chapter 5), Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, insurance carriers and real estate financial services. He has been involved in a project management role as an engineering consultant for industrial clients, contractors, legal counsel, and engineering consulting firms in all aspects of site investigation and sale for large industrial facility throughout the U.S.

State Superfund Programs: Project Coordinator representing PRPs in the States of Michigan and New York on several sites involving lead, petroleum distillate, PCB, LNAPL and hazardous waste in contaminated media including watershed and sewer sediments, soils, LNAPL, and groundwater requiring assessment, risk assessment, subsurface remedial activities, stabilization, and TSCA/ hazardous waste compliant landfill construction.

PCB Management: Project Coordinator of engineering consultants and contractors involved with assessment, investigation, decontamination activities, and response activities for a large industrial site in Eastern U.S. that discovered PCB impacts to a NPDES discharge. Source areas included soils, groundwater, sediments and free oils in sanitary, storm water, and industrial wastewater sewers. Project involved determination of likely source areas and designing a program to reduce PCB loading on discharge through design of sewer decontamination activities, sewer abandonment, modification to site drainage, treatability design, filtering applications, storm water modeling, and in-situ slip-lining and cured-in-place sealing of impacted sewer systems.

Quality Management/Common Process Development: Project Leader involved in conceptual design, preparation of guidance documents, specifications, training, and implementation of a Plant Closure Common Process for a large industrial client. The process was comprised of the three major components: i) Plant Closure Common Process document; ii) compilation of corporate policy, environmental regulations & guidance, and ASTM Standards; and iii) generic Specifications to execute all assessment, remediation, and decommissioning activities.
