QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

Mr. Moreau has worked exclusively in the field of liquid storage systems since 1983.  His experience includes four years with Maine Department of Environmental Protection, where he was instrumental in the development of Maine's underground storage system regulatory program, including the establishment of the first tank installer certification program in the country. He then worked for four years with an environmental engineering firm, where his duties included inspecting hundreds of existing storage systems for military and utility clients, and developing conceptual designs for new storage systems. 

Presently, he is an independent consultant providing information and educational services related to liquid storage systems for government and private sector clients.  He has given dozens of seminars and training presentations and is widely published and quoted in trade publications.  He specializes in development and presentation of training programs, technical writing, and development of certification programs for storage system installers and removers.
