Lawra Dodge's Bio
Ms. Dodge is the founder and President of Excel Environmental Resources, Inc. (Excel) and has more than 31 years of experience as an environmental geologist and consultant. She is a recognized expert in contaminated property investigation, remedial action design, remediation implementation, and integration of remediation into redevelopment for industrial, military, commercial, residential, and municipal properties. Ms. Dodge has strong technical and regulatory experience and skills and has been actively involved in the Brownfield remediation and redevelopment industry since 1983. In 2009, she was named one of the Best 50 Women in Business in New Jersey by NJ Business News (NJBiz).
Ms. Dodge has successfully resolved environmental issues at some of the most challenging properties in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. She has designed, implemented, and managed small and large scale remediation and redevelopment projects throughout the Tri-State area for municipalities, counties, redevelopment authorities, industrial/commercial/residential property owners, developers and redevelopers, builders, attorneys, architects, and land planners.
She provides expert consultation to clients for resolution of environmental issues associated with transactional due diligence, cost-effective measures for streamlining and/or re-directing the environmental compliance process on stalled projects, integration of remedial action into redevelopment plans for commercial/retail, residential, industrial, and recreational, and open space end uses, and expert litigation, arbitration, and mediation support, including preparation of expert reports, depositional and expert testimony.
Ms. Dodge works closely with clients so that they better understand the intricacies of the contaminated property remediation and redevelopment process, including identification of Brownfield properties, fully integrating remediation into redevelopment plans, maximizing value for the property owner, developer, and/or builder on a Brownfield redevelopment project, risk and liability reduction through the use of environmental insurance products, acquisition of grants and low/no-interest loans under the NJDEP Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund (HDSRF), obtaining cleanup cost reimbursement via Brownfield Redevelopment Agreements and Economic Recovery Growth Grants (ERGGs), preparation of BDA applications, and cost recovery from insurance carriers and other third-parties.
