    Mindy S. Chaturgan, PG

    I spent nearly 11 years at a large international full service engineering firm. I gained a lot of experience but eventually hit the glass ceiling in my progression path, and decided to branch out with a smaller, yet well-established company. EWMA has offered me a greater career potential and a sense of job fulfillment. Here at EWMA you work closely with your managers and support staff. Your ideas on the direction of a project is not over looked, but instead openly discussed. There is something to be said about a small company; there is something greater to be said about EWMA – it’s a place where tools are in place for advancement, career development and growth.

    What I like about working at EWMA is the variation with respect to the type of work I do every day. I can honestly say that in the 20 plus years I’ve worked here, no two days have been the same. Although at times, that can prove to be challenging, it keeps things fresh.

  • How vapor intrusion is discovered and remediated

    Co-Authored by Don Richardson, President and Jacob Strauss, Senior Engineer.

    Vapor intrusion has evolved into one of the highest risks commercial real estate developers and owners face. Vapor intrusion can pose a greater risk than contaminated soil or groundwater. The rise of vapors from contaminated sources into buildings can pose an immediate risk if they reach hazardous levels.

  • Tackling post-remediation care in New Jersey

    Environmental remediation projects are rarely a one-and-done undertaking. A site may need to be monitored and maintained long after regulatory agency closure, if the active remediation did not achieve the most stringent cleanup standards.

  • Before you excavate, explore compliance attainment

    Developers may not know that there’s more than one way to tackle a soil remediation project. Many assume that this kind of cleanup calls for a total excavation, carting off truckloads of contaminated soil to be cleaned or replaced entirely. However, for some projects, such an invasive and labor-intensive process may not be necessary.

  • Advancing Complex Brownfields Redevelopment, Made Simple

    Decades of unregulated, uncontrolled and poor environmental practices have led to millions of acres of “brownfields” in the U.S., properties which must be properly remediated before they are repurposed or redeveloped. These properties come in all shapes and sizes, affected by a vast array of contaminants associated with industrial operations. What is a brownfield, and what makes it different from other types of contaminated sites?
