  • Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), comprehensive asbestos survey, subsequent asbestos abatement management, and underground storage tank (UST) removal at a 1.2 million square foot grocery distribution center located in North Texas. The project involved the collection of approximately 400 samples of suspect Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs), as well as the coordination of UST exploration and removal activities. Mr. McMillan also provided the abatement project design, bid appropriation/site walks, regulatory interface, on-site project consulting, and owner’s representation during the removal of all ACMs at the subject facility.
  • Phase I ESA investigation at an urban golf course and country club located in southern Louisiana. Relevant issues included misuse and poor storage of hazardous chemicals, on-site dumping, illegal off-site discharges, and soil/surface water contamination resulting from a chemical fire. Mr. McMillan’s assessment and recommendations were instrumental to incoming ownership in establishing new operational procedures, engineering controls, and soil/water remediation plan for the subject property.
  • Mr. McMillan has conducted over 1,000 comprehensive/pre-renovation asbestos surveys throughout the United States. Examples of these projects range from single family residences to 1.5 million square foot industrial facilities.  The results of Mr. McMillan’s investigations are often used to develop asbestos abatement designs for removal of on-site ACMs and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Programs for the in-place maintenance of ACMs that remain in good condition.
  • Environmental Audit on a 75 acre fertilizer manufacturing company located in central Oklahoma. Relevant issues included the illegal disposal of nitrates in the soil and surface water surrounding the facility. Mr. McMillan was instrumental in the development of a formal National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program which reduced hazardous pollutant discharges by 85-90%.
  • Underground storage tank (UST) and hydraulic lift removal activities at a former automobile dealership located in downtown Ft. Worth, Texas. During the removal, several areas of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination were identified and subsequently remediated in order to obtain a “clean closure” for the facility. Mr. McMillan provided on-site project management and regulatory interface to ensure that all contamination had been removed and “clean closure” was received within an expedited timeframe.
  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessment for the presence of airborne and viable fungi (mold) within an 800 unit multi-family residential complex in North Texas. The results revealed significantly elevated concentrations of viable Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys fungi. The findings of the IAQ Assessment were used by Mr. McMillan and his staff to prepare a formal Mold Remediation Protocol (MRP) and contractor bid specifications. Mr. McMillan also conducted bid appropriation, site walks, contract administration, air monitoring during the remediation, and clearance sampling documenting completion of the project.
  • Mr. McMillan has designed and managed several large scale asbestos abatement projects for grocery distribution facilities located in Texas, Oklahoma, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Lincoln, Nebraska; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Nashville, Tennessee; Kansas; and many other locations. Projects involved significant emphasis and sensitivity on scheduling in order to reduce/eliminate facility down time.
  • Asbestos, Lead, Indoor Air Quality, and hazardous chemical consulting/management at the former Tandy Center (Towers) in downtown Ft. Worth, Texas. The facility consists of over 1 million square feet of retail and commercial office development. Mr. McMillan designed the asbestos and lead material abatement specifications and provided on-site consulting during the abatement procedures. Mr. McMillan’s guidance was crucial to the project being completed several weeks ahead of schedule and within full regulatory compliance.
  • Mr. McMillan conducted a Lead Risk Assessment at an outdoor police gun range in North Texas. The scope of the assessment included occupant interviews, range design review, personnel air sample collection, surface wipe sampling, and data evaluation. The results of the investigation were used in the selection and installation of various engineering controls (i.e. dust traps, ventilation fans, etc.), the implementation of proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), better range cleaning/maintenance procedures, and the reevaluation of current training practices.
  • Mr. McMillan has conducted more than 30 Asbestos/Mold Awareness training seminars for the City of Plano Engineering/Maintenance Departments and the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) – Dallas Chapter.
  • Asbestos and Lead consulting/management at the former Petroleum and Corrigan Towers in downtown Dallas, Texas. The project consisted of the complete asbestos and lead abatement of two 23-story commercial office/retail towers. Mr. McMillan designed the asbestos and lead material abatement specifications and provided on-site consulting during the abatement procedures. Mr. McMillan’s guidance was crucial to the project being completed several weeks ahead of schedule and within full regulatory compliance.
