Bio for Dr. Michael R. Palermo

Dr. Michael R. Palermo is a consulting engineer with experience in Dredged Material Management and Contaminated Sediment Remediation since 1974, serving both private sector and government clients. Dr. Palermo served with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1967 to 2003. While with the USACE, he served as a Research Civil Engineer and Director of the Center for Contaminated Sediments at the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES), where he managed and conducted both research and applied studies for the USACE, EPA, DOJ, NOAA, U.S. Navy, and others. He also managed the WES/ERDC research focus area for contaminated sediments. Since entering private practice in 2003, he has provided design services and technical review and oversight for clients, both in the U.S. and abroad, on a wide range of sediment remediation and navigation projects involving contaminated sediments to include major Superfund sites such as the Hudson River, Housatonic River, Fox River, Portland Harbor, and Onondaga Lake sites.

He received his BS and MS degrees in Civil Engineering from Mississippi State University and his PhD degree in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering from Vanderbilt University. Dr. Palermo is a Registered Professional Engineer and a member of the Western Dredging Association (WEDA), International Navigation Association (PIANC), and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). He has served on the adjunct faculty at Texas A&M University and Mississippi State University and is also Associate Editor for the WEDA Journal of Dredging Engineering.

Dr. Palermo has authored numerous publications in the area of dredging and dredged material disposal technology and remediation of contaminated sediments. He is a lead author of USACE, EPA, and international guidance documents pertaining to contaminated sediments, including the USEPA 1998 Guidance for In-Situ Subaqueous Capping of Contaminated Sediment, USEPA 2005 Contaminated Sediment Remediation Guidance for Hazardous Waste Sites, commonly known as the “Superfund Sediment Guidance” and the USACE/USEPA 2008 Technical Guidelines for Environmental Dredging of Contaminated Sediments.
