RUSSELL S. KEMP - President

BACKGROUND
In April of 1999, Mr. Kemp assumed the position of President of Lake Engineering, Inc.  Specializing in air pollution and hazardous waste regulatory work, he directs airpermitting, air quality monitoring, computer modeling, and ventilation studies for ourclients.  His experience in air permitting negotiations and regulations make him thefirm's primary source of information pertaining to air pollution design.  Mr. Kemp'srecent focus has been assisting industrial clients with implementation of the Clean AirAct Amendments of 1990.

Past projects haveincluded complex emission test supervision and negotiations to overcome grounds for airpermit denials at operating facilities.  In some instances, these denials haveresulted in temporary plant shutdowns which were quickly overcome.  These effortshave also involved the development of detailed Health Risk Assessments for evaluating thepotential effects of toxic compounds at issue.

Over the past several years, manyclients have been assisted with the development of fast-track permitting strategies toallow construction of new plants without federal permitting (PSD/NSR) delays.  Recentwork has also involved the interrelationship of air emission inventories and communityright-to-know rules.  Mr. Kemp recently directed a year-long project for thequantification of a newly listed Form R compound for a multi-facility client which alsoinvolved EPCRA/CERCLA continuous release reporting.

Mr. Kemp has beenretained by counsel in several litigation matters related to air pollution issues andfrequently provides technical support to clients in response to enforcement actions.

Mr. Kemp has alsocoordinated the preparation of several RCRA Part B permit applications for the operationof hazardous waste treatment and storage facilities.  Obtaining these permitsinvolves all aspects of hazardous waste management, including waste analysis, closureplanning, contingency planning, and cost estimation.  At several facilities, siteremediations and conceptual designs for structural and process upgrades were alsonecessary.
