PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Mr. Petoyan has worked in the environmental field since 1979. His experience includes engineering, construction, and operation of pollution control, remediation, and energy recovery systems. Mr. Petoyan's environmental engineering experience has primarily involved landfill gas control/recovery, and associated landfill services including post closure care. Other environmental remediation project experience includes engineering, construction, and operation of VOC (volatile organic compound) vapor extraction systems, ground water pump and treat systems, UST removal, and bio-remediation of contaminated soil.
Mr. Petoyan has participated in and /or directed numerous projects that have received industry recognition. Mr. Petoyan was involved with the start-up and operation of the Industry Hills Civic - Recreation - Convention Complex Landfill Gas To Energy and Migration Control Facilities. This Complex received the "Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement" award in 1981 from the American Society of Civil Engineers. In 1997 three projects won recognition from the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) National LFG Awards Program: The City of Industry, California won a Gold Award for innovations in LFG utilization, the Southeast Public Services Authority (SPSA) won a Bronze Award for LFG utilization, and Fairfax County, Virginia won a Silver Award for LFG control. In 1998 SWANA recognized the Scholl Canyon project in the City of Glendale, California with a Gold Award for LFG utilization. In 1999 SWANA recognized two projects: The Miramar LFG utilization project in the City of San Diego, California with a Bronze Award and the Perdido, Florida LFG utilization project with a Silver Award.
Mr. Petoyan also serves as a National Partner for the firms Landfill Post Closure Care practice area initiative. In this capacity, Mr. Petoyan directs the combined parent engineering and subsidiary construction company technical resources on long term post closure care and maintenance of closed landfill and other remediated properties.
As President of SCS Field Services, Mr. Petoyan has directed or provided oversight for more than 165 construction projects with a combined value of over $70 million, 85 long-term operation and maintenance projects (including post closure care), 50 combustible gas monitoring projects, and 50 remediation projects. He is responsible for implementation of the firms technical review, quality assurance, and health and safety programs.
The range and types of Mr. Petoyan’s project specific experience includes:
*Landfill gas migration control system start-up, adjustment, and long term operation, monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. Key projects performed for the City of Sunnyvale, City of Mountain View, San Bernardino, Santa Barbra, Orange, Placer, Monterey, and San Diego Counties, California; Fairfax, Charles, Caroline, Rockingham, and Franklin County, Virginia; Monmouth County, New Jersey; and Polk and Hillsborough County, Florida; Douglas County, Nebraska; Baytown, Texas; Pine Grove, Pennsylvania.
*Landfill gas to energy recovery system operational/gas delivery services at key sites including Industry Hills Sheraton Golf/Conference Center, City of Glendale's Scholl Canyon, Waste Management’s Altamont Pass and Bradley landfill sites, Ogden Energy Systems Gude project, NEO project sites at the Miramar, Prima Desheca, Visalia, Yolo, Nashville, Highgrove, Tajiguas, Woodville, Highgrove, 27th Avenue, Ft. Smith, and Prince William, DTE Biomass projects at Lycoming and KC Southeast, Montank projects at FRB and Union Mine, Huntsville for Ecogas and Shreveport for Renovar.
* Landfill post closure maintenance services including landfill gas system operations, site surface repair, ground water monitoring, irrigation system maintenance. Key projects performed at the Berkeley Marina, Geer Road, and Ascon landfill sites, as well as the Refuse Hideaway Landfill for the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
*Landfill gas collection system construction including blower/flare stations, gas extraction wells, horizontal collection system piping, and condensate collection and disposal facilities. Services provided to major waste firms including Waste Management, Allied Waste Industries, and Republic Service as well as numerous municipalities and waste authorities. Construction services provided to energy development firms includes NEO, DTE Biomass, Zapco, LES, GRS, Ecogas, Renovar, and Ogden Power.
Prior to transferring to SCS Field Services, in 1986, Mr. Petoyan spent seven years with SCS Engineers working on solid waste related projects in the firms Long Beach, California engineering office as well as providing consulting assistance to other offices of the firm. Mr. Petoyan was responsible for directing field teams on landfill site investigations involving inspection, testing, data collection, evaluation, and concept design development. Mr. Petoyan also managed tasks that involved assessment of development plans to determine compliance of sanitary landfills with applicable federal and local regulations.
Mr. Petoyan also managed and provided technical support on LFG field pump test programs at numerous landfill sites. These sites were located throughout the United States and were both active and closed. Services included design and installation of test facilities (including wells, probes, headers, condensate collection/disposal, blower test rig), collection of baseline and dynamic pump test data, analysis of test results, and development as conceptual collection system design and construction cost estimates. Subsequent participation in design, design review, construction review, start-up initial balancing, and routine operation, monitoring, and maintenance in various capacities at these sites. |
