Farmingdale, NJ (February 1, 2006) – D.W. Smith Associates, LLC, has unveiled an expanded array of environmental services that enable property owners to meet today’s ever-changing state and federal regulations.

An entirely new environmental Site Remediation department was recently added to service the Firm’s redevelopment projects. Led by Kevin Rothauser, Site Remediation Services Manager, this new department coupled with D.W. Smith’s natural resource services enables the firm to provide complete in-house environmental services for their client base.

Rothauser previously served as manager of environmental services for a New Jersey-based engineering firm serving county and municipal agencies along with providing consulting services to some of the top insurance companies in the region. He brings over a decade of hands on expertise to the position and a cross section of industry insight rarely seen in his field. Some of the new services include: Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, soil investigations, pesticide sampling, groundwater studies and complete site remediation. “As developable land becomes scarcer, D.W. Smith will be in a good position to Greengineer® environmentally impaired sites back into productive use” said Rothauser.

The Firm’s existing natural resource services of wetland delineations, natural resource inventories, and feasibility studies were likewise expanded to include: threatened and endangered species surveys, wetland restoration and woodlands management. “These services are essential in today’s land development industry and fit well with our Greengineering® philosophy” says Victor J. Coppola, Director of Environmental Services for the firm.

Mr. Coppola is excited about the new offering, and believes the new services will benefit existing and new clients. “D.W. Smith has, for years, received many requests from our existing client base to incorporate site remediation services into the balance of land development services already provided by the firm. I can not tell you how pleased we are to have Rothauser on board to spearhead the initiative and be a member of our team.”

To meet the challenges that many property owners face, the department uses the latest technological advancements in the environmental industry to perform on-site activities and offers cost-effective environmental consulting services to bring projects into compliance with current state and federal regulations. The staff maintains up-to-date certifications, including UST Subsurface Evaluation and wetland certifications. They have expertise with permit applications for Waterfront Development, Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA), Wetlands, the Pinelands Commission and the US Army Corps of Engineers to name just a few.

D.W. Smith Associates was founded in 1965, and has served residential and commercial developers, industries, municipalities, governmental agencies and individuals. The Firm received an internationally registered trademark certificate for “Greengineering®,” which describes the company’s environmentally friendly approach to land development design.
