GZA GeoEnvironmental has named environmental remediation leader Edward J. “Ed” Huss an associate principal and vice president in its Fairfield office, a move the firm said will strengthen its environmental assessment and remediation work in New Jersey and the broader Mid-Atlantic.
Huss is a Licensed Site Remediation Professional in New Jersey and a professional engineer. GZA said he brings nearly 30 years of experience designing, implementing and managing environmental engineering and remediation projects.
In his new role, Huss will support GZA’s environmental assessment and remediation practice, with particular emphasis on helping clients evaluate and execute remediation strategies across complex industrial and regulated sites.
GZA said Huss has deep experience with in situ remedial technologies, including bioremediation approaches such as biostimulation and bioaugmentation, as well as in situ chemical oxidation and reduction. His background also includes in situ stabilization/solidification and other emerging remedial methods, according to the firm.
In addition to advanced techniques, GZA said Huss has led projects using conventional remedial approaches such as excavation and soil removal, including dewatering and structural support methods. His experience also includes soil vapor extraction and air sparging, the firm said.
GZA President and CEO Patrick Sheehan said Huss’ technical background and professional relationships will add depth to a key service area for the company in the region.
“Between Ed’s extensive experience implementing a wide range of environmental remediation technologies and his extensive, deep network of relationships with remediation experts throughout the region, Ed adds tremendous strength to one of GZA’s core service areas in New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic,” Sheehan said.
GZA said Huss’ project work in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania has included Superfund and RCRA sites, fuel terminals and properties impacted by industrial chemical releases. The company cited site challenges involving metal plating, plastics molding and chromium contamination among the types of conditions addressed in his past work.
Huss earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from the University of Florida.
