SCS Engineers expands environmental solutions in Utah by welcoming Thomas P. Gordon as a senior project manager to the firm. Mr. Gordon leads full-service due diligence site assessment and hazard remediation practice for municipalities and public and private clients in the state from SCS’s Salt Lake City office.
“Tom joins SCS as a fully certified and tested professional with over two decades of expertise and specialization in petroleum, agricultural, and mining remediation. He works closely with all stakeholders and Utah’s Department of Environmental Quality CERCLA Branch,” states Justin Rauzon, SCS’s National Expert on Environmental Due Diligence.
SCS Engineers has supported industries and businesses nationwide seeking remediation solutions for over 50 years. All require thorough due diligence to keep project development and implementation on schedule and within budget. Today’s real estate transactions must consider environmental issues, as state growth is often exhausting Greenfields or virgin land. Complex laws can impose significant environmental liabilities on purchasers, sellers, and lenders, regardless of whether they caused contamination or still own the property.
Comprehensive services provided by certified experts, such as Tom Gordon, significantly reduce the risk of funding and development for commercial properties and are especially important for mixed-use and residential reuse projects. Typically, the most strategically located properties, often formerly used by an industry, business, or municipality, may have left behind trace amounts of hazardous materials at levels no longer acceptable under federal, state, or local regulations.
Purchasers must demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of hazardous substances on the property, utilizing comprehensive services; that’s where Tom Gordon and SCS Engineers provide valuable support. Mr. Gordon guides clients through the necessary steps based on an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and a due diligence report. Regardless of the complexity of the ESA results, the combination of environmental engineers, consultants, and contracting capabilities at SCS will provide purchasers with the most cost-effective and safe solution for fully remediating the property. Clients are covered from permitting through implementation and operational monitoring.
Mr. Gordon’s degrees, certifications, and licenses include an MBA from the University of the Pacific and a BS in Environmental Studies from the University of Utah. He holds certifications for HAZMAT (ACM, LBP, PCB, DEHP, and Mercury), Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), 811 Pre-Dig, and Permitting, as well as OSHA 40/8-Hour HAZWOPER. He holds the following Utah licenses: Groundwater and Soil Sampler, Asbestos Management Planner and Inspector, and General Contractor B100. His federal licenses include Underground Storage Tank Contractor, Lead Inspector, and Department of Transportation/Aviation Remote Pilot.
