ETS has extensive collective experience in the fields of agricultural pesticides (FIFRA compliance), turf (including golf course turf), "toxic substance" regulation (TSCA), toxic torts cases, and heavy metal assessments at shooting ranges. As of January, 2009, ETS has worked in 19 states and two Canadian provinces, and staff have lectured in at least 10 states and 10 foreign countries. ETS couples hands-on field characterization and monitoring experience with sophisticated computer simulation modeling expertise. These are powerful tools that will help you take a proactive approach to environmental stewardship. This approach is implemented in the form of risk assessment-driven Best Management Practices (BMPs) for golf courses, firing ranges, and agriculture systems. Assistance is also provided in the pesticide registration process. ETS' philosophy is that it is easier to prevent pollution than to clean it up, as well as more cost-effective; however, this is not always done. Therefore, ETS also provides support for toxic torts cases." The President of ETS, Stuart Cohen, has over 34 years of experience in the areas of pesticides and toxic substances, including 11 years with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He has a Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry, is a Certified Ground Water Professional, and has extensive experience in environmental risk assessment. ETS has other staff with expertise in the areas of hydrogeology, geology, environmental hydrology, ground water and surface water monitoring, turf agronomy, aquatic and terrestrial species impacts, and related disciplines.
