Announcements
Zephyr is pleased to announce that the following new staff members have joined our firm!
Mr. Larry Moon, P.E., Principal
Larry has over 20 years of experience in air quality environmental consulting, 3 years of experience at the Texas Air Control Board, and 7 years of experience in process engineering for a petrochemical manufacturing plant. As an air quality consultant, Larry has been involved in numerous projects for industrial clients, including state, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) Air Quality Permit Applications, technical and regulatory support in compliance actions, environmental audits, and expert witness testimony. Larry has worked for a variety of industries including Electric Generation, Cement, Petrochemical, Oil and Gas, Refineries, Steel, Carbon Black, and Glass Manufacturing.
Mr. Rick Powell, Zephyr HazMat Academy Instructor
Rick has worked for over 20 years in the Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Training field. Although a native Texan, Rick has spent the past two years working for a global risk management company supporting the U.S. Naval Support Activity in Bahrain as their HazMat Coordinator and Trainer. Rick is a witty and interesting trainer that has a significant amount of “HazMat suit time.” Some of Rick’s notable emergency response incidents earlier in his career included serving as the Health and Safety Officer on a team who responded to the Arabian Gulf oil spill in Kuwait/Saudi Arabia. As a HazMat Technician, Rick served on teams that extinguished a railroad tank car containing 1,3-butadiene in New Orleans, and controlled a major train derailment in San Antonio that involved “hot-tapping” liquid flammable gases from the derailed cars. The students who receive training from The HazMat Academy, Zephyr’s Specialized Institute for Training, will learn a lot from Rick!
Mr. Tim Clark, Natural Resources Specialist
Tim has a BA in Political Science and Environmental Studies from Austin College and 5 years of industry experience as an Environmental Consultant and as a Environmental Designer. Most of Tim’s experience to date has focused on conducting risk assessments and addressing environmental issues during all stages of development and construction on real estate/private development projects in the Central Texas region. The majority of Tim’s compliance expertise involves the U.S. Endangered Species Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act where he worked with clients performing soil samples, water samples, threatened and endangered (T&D) species habitat and census surveys, vegetation surveys, Edward Aquifer Geologic Assessments, and wetland determination and delineations. Additionally, Tim has extensive experience and training utilizing ESRI/GIS software and the integration of Survey Grade GPS/Digital Data Collection into GIS and standard workflow environments.
