Professional Biography Greg R. Michaud has specialized in public involvement, consensus building, and dispute resolution in the environmental arena for the past twenty-four years. He has primarily handled hazardous waste remediations, transportation projects, water quality and watershed management issues, and siting/permit matters.

His experience and education in environmental science in combination with his skills in public involvement have enhanced his effectiveness with business, citizen groups, and government organizations.He has worked on over 90 hazardous waste remediation projects ranging from Superfund sites to smaller voluntary projects.
