L. Robert Kimball & Associates adds water/wastewater engineer
EBENSBURG – L. Robert Kimball & Associates recently announced the addition of Michael Kuznetz as a senior water/wastewater engineer in the firm’s Civil and Environmental Group.
Kuznetz has 20 years of experience as a water, wastewater and groundwater treatment process design engineer.
He also is experienced as a technical specialist in all areas of environmental engineering and science and is an expert in both municipal and industrial systems and wastewater master planning.
Kuznetz earned doctorates in environmental engineering from the University of Missouri and in environmental hydrogeology from Moscow State Engineering University in Russia.
Kimball said Kuznetz will be an important addition to the firm as Pennsylvania looks to tighten regulations for municipal and industrial wastewater discharges that contain high levels of dissolved solids, sulfates and chlorides.
“Kimball’s water and wastewater capabilities will be greatly enhanced as a result of Michael joining our team,” said Jack Lerch, Kimball senior vice president.
