Evan K. Nyer is an expert in the research and application of technology to groundwater cleanups. As Vice President with Geraghty & Miller, Inc., he is responsible for engineering services including hazardous and solid waste management, environmental and natural resource management, remediation activities, and designing treatment systems for contaminated sites throughout the United States and in foreign countries. He has designed over 100 groundwater treatment systems., Mr. Nyer travels throughout the country teaching treatment techniques at seminars and universities. He has written numerous papers on groundwater decontamination and other water and wastewater cleanup techniques. He is responsible for bringing to the field many new innovative techniques for biological treatment of water, soils, and in situ treatment and the application of existing technologies to groundwater contamination. He is a member of the Water Pollution Control Federation, National Water Well Association, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
