Biographies
With more than two decades in the environmental-consulting field, BLES co-founder and president Zachary D. Lewis was most recently a principal/vice president of redevelopment and government services for a large engineering-consulting firm headquartered in Lakewood, NJ. He has assisted numerous towns and cities, in addition to other public, private and not-for-profit agencies, with redevelopment projects. While at the firm, he—along with Philip Brilliant—developed a brownfields division in 2003, responding to a rapidly growing national trend to transform once-contaminated sites into inhabitable commercial and residential properties. Lewis has also held positions at other prestigious firms, honing his expertise in a variety of areas, including federal and New Jersey construction and environmental regulations; risk assessment; Brownfields redevelopment; Phase I and II environmental assessments; due diligence; environmental compliance and permitting; cost-recovery assistance and business development. In addition, Lewis's intimate knowledge and understanding of environmental law make him an invaluable and sought-after resource. He is frequently tapped to interpret and respond to proposed environmental regulations, often interfacing with regulatory agencies in the process. Lewis was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science from Stockton State College. Throughout his career, he has taken numerous professional continuing education courses and garnered key registrations and certifications. |
