EXPERIENCE
Over 30 years of diversified professional experience in a variety of phases of civil and environmental analysis, planning, engineering and construction. Most have concentrated on environmental engineering and construction associated with underground storage tank (UST) removal and installation and surface and subsurface soil and water contamination. Activities include planning and supervision of site assessment of soil and underground water, remediation by excavation and treatment, construction of trenches and sampling boxed for sparging and restoration of petroleum-contaminated aquifers, preparing Phase I for numerous financial institutions, such as Wells Fargo, Commerce Bank, Bank of America and Cathay Bank, also in underground storage tank removal and installation.
Since 1988, Mr. Markarian has been in responsible charge of construction planning and supervision of hundreds of projects involving contaminated soil and groundwater resulting from surface spills and leaking underground tank systems storing hazardous and toxic substances. During the last twenty years, Mr. Markarian has completed hundreds of projects for UST removal, sampling and remediation, and for installation of above-ground and below-ground tanks. UST removal projects, contaminated soil and water sampling and remediation projects variously have included: Covert Cast Iron, City of Montebello, Sam’s Shell, Beacon Truck Stop, A to Z Fuel, Top Choice Cleaner, US Royal Oil, Speedy Fuel, Inc., Discount Tire Center, Mirage Dry Cleaner, Econo Lube & Tune and numerous others, working with various regulatory agencies including: LARWQCB, SDRWQCB, OCHCA, LACDPW UST Unit and LOP, Riverside County Health Department, San Bernardino County Health Department, Los Angeles County Health Department, City of Long Beach Health Department and City of Los Angeles Fire Department, and many others.
