Position or Title Manager, Public Involvement & Mediation

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.  He has obtained a high acceptance rate among multiple parties, and he has never had a public project stopped due to citizen resistance.  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.  The range of remedies for these projects includes incineration, bioremediation, landfilling, thermal treatment, and long-range pump and treatment of grounwater.  Evacuating property owners, providing alternate drinking water supplies, and keeping businesses in operation during remediation are a few of the unusual challenges he has successfully met.His most recent accomplishments include:  * Crafting a successful collaboration to restore impaired water uses on an area of the Great Lakes (Waukegan Harbor) that is being hailed internationally as a model for business-government-public cooperation;                                                                                    * Achieving consensus on a pathway
