Mr. David Crowther, PG, the founder and
President of BlackRock, has been providing consulting and remedial
services to both the private and public sectors in the hazardous
waste and environmental fields since 1994. As president, Mr. Crowther directs the operations of the
firm and is intimately involved in all projects. Mr. Crowther
provides technical expertise in assessing regulatory compliance
alternatives and developing pragmatic solutions to problems related
to the contaminated properties. Mr. Crowther is also responsible to
all clients for the quality of service performed by the firm.
With the passage of the Land Recycling and Environmental
Remediation Standards Act (Act 2), the DEP presented the
environmental community with the challenge of cleaning up
contaminated sites based on sound science.
Since Mr. Crowther is a
licensed Professional Geologist,
he is capable of providing the educational background as well as the
regulatory experience to competently clean up and “close”
contaminated sites. Mr. Crowther not only has a solid
understanding of Act 2, but also the
Administration of the Land Recycling
Program (25 Pa
Code Chapter 250)
regulations which provide the technical requirements of Act 2.
Furthermore, Mr. Crowther has proficient knowledge of the
Technical
Guidance Manual
developed by the DEP to further satisfy the
requirements of ACT 2 and Chapter 250. Mr. Crowther has
successfully managed over 50 Act 2 sites, ultimately obtaining a
Release of Liability from the DEP for the property owners.
Underground storage tanks (USTs) containing regulated petroleum
products and hazardous substances can create significant legal and
financial liabilities.
Mr.
Crowther has extensive knowledge of the
Storage Tank and
Spill Prevention Act (Act 32) and
Corrective Action Process (CAP)
regulations (25 Pa Code Chapter 245.301-245.314). In addition,
since contaminated UST sites are required by the DEP to be
remediated to an Act 2 Standard, Mr. Crowther is fully capable of
providing the scientific and technical expertise to effectively
remediate the site and obtain an Act 2 Relief of Liability for the
property owner/operator. Mr.
Crowther has successfully managed over 20 storage tank sites
ultimately obtaining a
Relief of Liability from the DEP for the
property owners.
Mr. Crowther has been in the environmental consulting industry for
over twelve (12) years and has assisted more than 200 clients in
Pennsylvania managing their environmental problems. Through his
network of experienced, licensed subcontractors (e.g., excavators,
drilling companies, disposal and recycling facilities, laboratories,
and remediation equipment suppliers), Mr. Crowther can provide
turnkey solutions to environmental issues.
Mr. Crowther
graduated from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and received a Bachelor of Science degree in both Geology and Earth Science.
Currently, Mr. Crowther is a Pennsylvania exam-licensed Professional
Geologist (License No. PG003797) and a member of the Pennsylvania
Council of Professional Geologists.
