CH2M Hill announced that Carol Mowder, P.E., has joined their Baltimore office as a subject matter expert in remediation strategies and bioremediation. Mowder’s primary role will be developing client site strategies and cleanup solutions as a leader in CH2M Hill’s Site Remediation and Revitalization practice.
“Carol is a leading remediation practitioner with diverse work experience and outstanding client relationships. She is an expert in connecting customer needs with technology solutions and is a proven resource in delivering value to customers with complex challenges,” said John Mogge, CH2M Hill’s technology, practice and design director.
Mowder is a chemical and environmental engineer (Maryland P.E.) with more than 25 years of experience in environmental investigation and remediation, with an emphasis on the evaluation and application of innovative remediation technologies. Technologies with which she has direct experience include in-situ anaerobic bioremediation using a variety of substrates, in-situ anaerobic bio-oxidation, in-situ chemical oxidation, in-situ chemical reduction, air sparge/soil vapor extraction, in-situ thermal remediation, permeable reactive barriers (abiotic and biotic), solidification/stabilization, and groundwater extraction and treatment, including utilization of directed groundwater recirculation.
She has experience remediating light non-aqueous phase liquid and dense non-aqueous phase liquid, as well as metals and inorganic salts (e.g., perchlorate). Additionally, she has extensive experience with the preparation of work plans, supervision of multi-task field activities, interpretation of groundwater geochemical and contaminant data, development of remedial alternatives, preparation of technical reports, presentation of technical information to technical experts and laymen, and being the liaison with clients (public and private sector), community groups and regulatory agencies.
Mowder has extensive work experience in the commercial and federal sectors, as well as international experience, most recently in Canada, United Kingdom, Poland and Australia. Her work in the federal sector has been for the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force. She has also led remediation work in the automotive and aerospace sectors and for multinational conglomerate companies.

CH2M HILL continues to be a destination career company with leading industry practitioners and we are very excited to have Carol join our team,” said Paul Favara, global practice director for site remediation and revitalization.
Carol joins CH2M Hill after spending more than 12 years with ARCADIS where she served as a leader in remediation strategy development, bioremediation, and implementation of performance-based remediation contracts. Prior to that Carol worked for Dames & Moore/URS for 12 years as a lead engineer on a variety of investigation and remediation projects for the Department of Defense and private sector clients; she conducted investigation/remediation field work and interpreted soil gas data for a couple of years before joining Dames & Moore.
Mowder earned her B.S. in chemical engineering from Michigan Technological University.
