We work with research scientists to develop and test new remediation strategies, like microbes that degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). We restore degraded streams and wetlands. We actively train and develop future generations of scientists, engineers, technicians and equipment operators. Our team is dedicated, hard-working and passionate about cleaning up former industrial properties so they can be used again – to build new roads, buildings, parks or wildlife habitats. When these blighted areas are redeveloped, the surrounding communities are uplifted and revitalized.”
