"Mitchell Banach knew what he was doing and kept things going smoothly."
Ron Walsh
Elk Mound, WI

I am an environmental scientist with a strong background in performing and managing Phase 1 and 2 environmental site assessments, site investigations, storage tank closures, National Environmental Policy Act environmental assessments, and regulatory compliance and hazardous building material inspection projects. I prepare regulatory reports, permits, and plans for industrial facilities at the federal, state, and local levels, including hazardous substances, air emissions, hazardous waste, wastewater, stormwater pollution prevention, and oil spill prevention.

My field experience includes soil, groundwater, wastewater, stormwater, air, lead paint and asbestos bulk sampling; soil and groundwater remediation; and regulatory compliance facility inspection. I take pride in by ability to communicate and collaborate with clients, co-workers, regulatory agencies, and subcontractors, which gives clients confidence that project goals will be met.
