Ms. Hunziker-Klaes has a varied background with more than 24 years of demonstrated environmental compliance, hazardous materials emergency response; Superfund remedial design; pollution prevention inventories and solutions; remedial investigation and feasibility studies (RI/FS), hazardous waste characterization and annual waste summaries; EHS training; health and safety, and project management experience. As a senior technical professional, Ms. Hunziker-Klaes is responsible for peer review of technical reports and documents, successful budget and schedule of projects, and client relations. In addition to technical expertise Ms. Hunziker-Klaes provides important community service functions as part of her personal values and PBS&J’s core values. Some career highlights are provided below. Project Manager, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Superfund Program, East Texas. As a consultant for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (Formerly TNRCC) Superfund contract, Ms. Hunziker-Klaes was the project manager for the clean-up effort of a former battery recycling facility in East Texas. The preferred remedial action was in-situ treatment with an on-site cap. Ms. Hunziker-Klaes administration of supplemental remedial investigation work, followed by preparation of the contract documents, assisted TCEQ with the contractor selection process, managed the construction oversight on behalf of TCEQ, facilitated and maintained all project documentation, including weekly meeting minutes, daily and weekly logs, sampling data, mapping, and project amendments and successfully lead liaison between the TNRCC and the construction contractor. USEPA Region 2, Love Canal Survey The Love Canal NPL site includes the original canal that was excavated by Mr. William T. Love in the 1890's for a proposed hydroelectric power project but was never implemented. From 1942 to 1952, the landfill was used by Hooker Chemicals and Plastics (now Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC)) for the disposal of over 21,000 tons of various chemical wastes. In the 1960s and 1970s, numerous toxic chemicals had migrated into the surrounding area directly adjacent to the original landfill disposal site around which were homes and schools at that time. In addition, runoff drained into the Niagara River, approximately three miles upstream of the intake tunnels for the Niagara Falls water treatment plant. As a result of the environmental emergency, approximately 950 families were evacuated from a 10-square-block area surrounding the landfill. In 1988, EPA issued the Love Canal EDA Habitability Study (LCHS), a comprehensive sampling study of the EDA to evaluate the risk posed by the Site. Ms. Hunziker-Klaes worked on this phase of the site providing land survey and documentation support as a contractor to the EPA. The final LCHS, NYSDOH issued a decision on habitability.

February 10, 2011 Ms. Mary Kelley Pollution Prevention and Education Section (MC 143) Texas Commission on Environmental Quality P.O. Box 13087 Austin, Texas 78711-3087 RE: LETTER OF INTEREST FOR NOMINATION TO THE POLLUTION PREVENTION

ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PPAC), TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE §361.0215 Dear Ms. Kelly: I wish to thank you and the selection committee for considering me for serving on the PPAC. I bring a varied background with more than 24 years of demonstrated leadership experience in environmental compliance, health and safety, and management. In addition to my technical expertise, I stay true to my values by participating in community service projects and volunteerism. At PBS&J I initiated the recycling program in 2008 and continue to facilitate that effort by distribution of information, providing collection bins and signs, and stressing recycling awareness. It has been a successful effort with participation increasing monthly. On a larger scale, I have served as a board member to the North Texas Corporate Recycling Association (NTCRA http://www.ntcra.org/ ) and continue to volunteer by participating in the Industry & Legislative Affairs Committee. As an EHS professional, I am well versed in pollution prevention inventories and solutions and have assisted clients with P2 and P2 inventories, source reduction and waste minimization plans and reporting. My experience extends back to the Love Canal NPL site in Niagara Falls, New York from which much of our environmental legislation was born. Through the years I have worked on projects ranging from remedial investigation and feasibility studies (RI/FS); storm water pollution prevention; spill prevention, control, and countermeasures (SPCC); property remediation/clean up; hazardous waste characterization and annual waste summaries; environmental, health and safety training; Phase I and II environmental site assessments (ESAs); hazardous materials (HAZMAT) emergency response; and TCEQ Superfund remedial design. Service to the PPAC would allow me to use my acquired skills, background and talents for Texas, where I work and live. We all bring something to the table with our unique perspectives. Building a varied team is the best way to achieve sustainable results. As an environmental professional with a civil engineering background, I can assist the PPAC with logical, feasible solutions, including tapping into my network of professionals. As a citizen with community service as a passion, I am committed to following through on my responsibilities to the PPAC. My husband and I are busy parents to two rescued canines (“Lady” and “Mom”). But I am able to commit time and energy serving on the PPAC. If selected to serve on the PPAC, I pledge my commitment to the best of my ability. Thank you, once again, for considering me for this very important position in the pollution prevention community. Sincerely,

Nancy Hunziker-Klaes Senior Technical Professional II Attachment

They awarded the contract to Laredo Crime Stoppers in an effort to join an established agency that was already fighting a variety of criminal activity. The Center adds the Child Abuse component and focuses on awareness, prevention and early intervention. We do this through service provider meetings, focus groups, public relations, community speakers, community involvement activities, distribution of literature and counseling. I am also responsible for the monthly and quarterly reports that are sent to the state. I also edit and publish the quarterly newsletter called the Family Resource Review for the center. I have developed and designed organizational forms that are now part of the program and have been asked by state to assist in the creation of a concise method of reporting for Centers throughout Texas.

During the month of July due to the departure of the department director I was responsible for the day-to-day tasks of overseeing the entire department consisting of the parks division, recreation division, cemetery division, youth commission division and the Mexican 2AA Baseball division. At this time I approved purchasing for the department, planned and coordinated budgets with each division head/supervisor, managed department staff and handled all department personnel matters as well as community concerns. The second week of August brought the newly hired assistant city manager to the department to undertake the task of finding a replacement for the departed director.

As division head for the recreation department my responsibilities included establishing and maintaining

$900,000 budget, supervising the purchasing within my division, planning and coordinating events and activities involving recreation throughout the city. I also supervised the four recreational centers and their staffs (approximately 45 employees) as well as maintaining the structures. This included coordinating with the parks maintenance supervisors for necessary repairs and construction to recreational equipment. On a seasonal basis I supervised summer staffing (approximately 135 employees) at an additional eight sites throughout Laredo in conjunction with both school districts, managed the five city swimming pools and their staffs (approximately 50 employees including contract laborers) as well as coordinated their maintenance through the parks division. For a more intensive view of my daily tasks I can provide a separate resume that details the inner workings of city government. I was also instrumental in developing a variety of programming aimed towards family support that incorporated recreation, educational classes and learning centers.

I substituted for grade levels Pre-kinder through sixth, including special education. This was a unique situation for me as it gave me the flexibility to work around my children's schedules. I enjoyed the classroom very much and was diligent about following the lesson plans that the teachers had left for me. I was overjoyed at being able to use my creativity and artistic abilities with the children and pleased that the team leaders from the various schools were happy to incorporate varied activity that followed their established lesson plans. During this time, through my community involvement I was able to recruit my daughter's teacher to run the most successful fundraising campaign in the organizations history, Women's City Clubs' Pennies for Tennies. It was a partnership that started with one fourth grade classroom and is now in every school and grade level throughout Laredo. It was with her teacher's assistance, my belief that integrated learning is successful, and the children's desire for service learning that has made the program what it is today.

February 11, 2011 Ms. Mary Kelley Pollution Prevention and Education Section (MC 113) Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Via E-mail: [email protected] Subject: Letter of Interest to Serve on the Pollution Prevention Advisory Committee (PPAC) Dear Ms. Kelly:

Please accept this letter as my request to service on the PPAC. I have a tremendous passion and extensive experience consulting with Texas communities to help them address important solid waste management issues. I possess a unique understanding of the interests and challenges communities face on a daily basis in seeking to increase diversion rates. Serving on the PPAC will provide an opportunity to communicate key issues that are facing cities and counties across the State of Texas.

Since the mid-1990’s I have focused my career on working with local and regional governments and Federal agencies in Texas to help them solve challenging solid waste management issues. My perspective combines an understanding of financial and technical issues. Many of these efforts have focused on waste minimization and recycling. A few key examples include the following:

Currently working with the City of Denton to implement a pilot food waste diversion program that is focused on serving commercial customers.

Presently working with Fort Bliss (El Paso, Texas) to increase recycling and to minimize hazardous waste. Guided the City of El Paso to implement single-stream recycling, which received the Texas Public Works Association

Project of the Year Award in 2008. Provided recycling consulting services to multiple Councils of Governments (e.g. Houston-Galveston Area Council,

Capital Area COG and North Central Texas COG) on issues such as market development, construction and demolition, organics, commercial and residential recycling.

Worked with the City of San Antonio to develop their 10-year strategic plan, which focuses on achieving substantial increases in the City’s recycling rate.

Assisted many small and/or rural communities (e.g. Lufkin, Huntsville, Mansfield) develop innovative and cost effective approaches to increase recycling.

I am a Senior Director with R. W. Beck, and manage the firm’s Texas Solid Waste Practice. Prior to joining R. W. Beck in 2000, I was employed by the TNRCC from 1995 – 2000 in the agency’s solid waste planning division, where I focused on statewide planning issues as well as coordinating the Texas-Mexico Illegal Dumping Abatement Program. As a former TNRCC employee, I understand many of the challenges facing the TCEQ. I also work with many clients located outside of Texas, which provides an understanding of waste diversion practices that are being implemented in other areas of the U. S. I can be reach at (512) 651 – 6405 or [email protected].

Sincerely,
