At EnviroForensics, we are committed to building a team of experts who bring deep technical knowledge and strategic insight to environmental challenges. We are excited to welcome Michael Potter, a Licensed Professional Geologist with over 23 years of experience, as our newest Senior Project Manager.
Michael has worked extensively in soil, groundwater, air, and surface water investigation and remediation, leading projects across 24 states under various state and federal regulatory frameworks, including EPA and U.S. Coast Guard guidelines. His expertise spans emergency response, site investigation, regulatory negotiation, and remediation strategy development.
“With over 23 years of experience in emergency response, investigation, and remediation, Michael brings a wealth of expertise to our company,” said EnviroForensics’ Vice President, Matt Bono. “His involvement has ranged from sudden train derailments to properties affected by long-term historical operations, covering the entire spectrum of environmental releases. His extensive background will be invaluable in helping our clients navigate through complex challenges.”
Michael has managed a diverse range of projects, including petroleum service stations, former auto manufacturing facilities, chemical warehouses, dry cleaners, electric utility substations, ports, and railyards. With 15 years of emergency response experience, he has played a critical role in addressing pipeline releases, train derailments, highway tanker-truck accidents, and industrial fires. His expertise in contaminants—such as petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, PCBs, and PFAS—allows him to develop and implement effective remediation strategies.
As Senior Project Manager, Michael will lead soil, groundwater, and vapor investigations and cleanups, ensuring projects align with regulatory requirements and client objectives.
