ETIC is pleased to announce the addition of Principal Hydrogeologist Nicholas (Nick) Pogoncheff, PG, CEM to our team. Nick is a California Professional Geologist, Nevada Certified Environmental Manager, and hydrogeologist with over 30 years of professional experience. He is an expert in the development and implementation of programs that require: the understanding of contaminant fate and transport mechanisms in soil, groundwater, soil vapor, and air pathways; the negotiation of regulatory directives to address compliance matters and a variety of site closure procedures; site cleanup/remediation systems; and hydrogeologic and water resource studies for the development of groundwater and surface water supplies. Nick has considerable experience in providing technical assistance to clients and groups of potentially responsible parties for the negotiation of site-specific administrative orders with U.S. EPA Region IX, the California Regional Water Quality Control Boards, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. He will support the design, implementation, and management of multi-disciplinary environmental programs with an emphasis on emerging contaminants including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and strengthen the value we bring to our clients. Welcome to the team, Nick!

ETIC’s Construction and Field Services Division recently completed 12 storm damage repair projects under on-call and emergency force account agreements funded through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Projects included construction of soldier pile retaining walls, roadside structural repairs, installation of drainage features, and creek bank stabilization and restoration. ETIC would like to thank all our hard-working construction staff who contributed to the success of this massive recovery effort! #Construction #CivilEngineering #Roadway #RetainingWalls #EmergencyRepair 

In response to the San Francisco Façade Ordinance, ETIC’s Industrial Hygiene team conducted pre-renovation surveys to identify asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paints, prepared the contractor bid packages and project specifications, designed the primary and secondary containment systems, and conducted inspections and air monitoring before, during, and after asbestos abatement and lead removal activities. Round of applause for the project’s team of California Asbestos Consultants and Lead Assessors for a job well done! #Asbstos #LeadBasedPaint #IndustrialHygiene #ContainmentSystem #Renovations
