Overview

TRC is seeking one or more temporary, on call Environmental Inspector(s) (EI) to provide environmental monitoring and inspection during construction of a FERC-regulated LNG facility in Cameron, Louisiana.

The EI’s primary responsibilities will be to monitor construction activities and ensure they are performed in compliance with the environmental conditions of the FERC Order and other relevant federal, state, and local permits, authorizations, clearances, and approvals, as well as construction-phase plans requiring environmental compliance such as the Project-specific Plan and Procedures. The EI will routinely communicate with construction contractors regarding compliance with permit conditions, monitoring activities, and non-compliance issues and statement of compliance holds. The EI will review pre-construction documentation relating to applicable permit conditions such that they can readily serve as a resource to construction contractors. They will perform their duties across the Project infrastructure and provide daily assistance to construction contractors as it pertains to construction activity within the authorized limits.

Responsibilities

The EI’s duties may evolve as the Project progresses; however, several key duties include the following :

• Develop and host compliance training – Trainings will be provided on a regular basis to new contractors and visitors, and these trainings will be delegated to and facilitated by the EI. This includes the identification of appropriate personnel to execute trainings in compliance with the Project requirements. The goal is to ensure employees, contractors, and visitors are appropriately trained in the Project’s relevant environmental requirements and the Client’s commitment to compliance. The EI team will ensure the training program complies with environmental federal, state and local laws, codes, and permit standards. The EI team will ensure all contractors and visitors receive environmental training before beginning work, adequate training records are kept, and refresher training is provided as needed to maintain a high awareness of environmental requirements
• Site walks – Prior to construction, EIs will participate in a walkover of areas to be affected by construction activities. The limits of work areas will be delineated by flagging prior to construction. This walkover will identify sensitive resources, limits of clearing, and placement of sediment and erosion control devices. Specific construction procedures will be discussed and updated to become part of the construction sequence, as needed.
• Daily field inspection and compliance inspection reports – The EI will inspect installed erosion and sediment control devices in areas of active construction in accordance with the Project Stormwater Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The EIs will provide daily field inspection reports during construction for internal documentation. These reports will be suitable for support of agency-required environmental report submittals. The EI team will aid in the preparation of the Environmental Weekly Report to include reporting of the problems encountered, contractor nonconformance / deficiency logs, and each instance of noncompliance observed by the EI during the reporting period (both for the conditions imposed by the FERC and environmental conditions / permit requirements imposed by other federal, state, or local agencies). The EIs will include in their reports a description of the corrective and remedial actions implemented in response to instances of noncompliance, nonconformance, or deficiency; the effectiveness of corrective and remedial actions implemented; a description of any landowner / resident complaints which may relate to compliance with the requirements of the order, and the measures taken to satisfy their concerns. The EI team will coordinate with Protected Species Observers to include status and observations of protected species in the Environmental Weekly Reports.
• Internal compliance calls – TRC will take the lead on scheduling, minute taking, and task tracking as it pertains to weekly meetings specific to compliance for construction of Project infrastructure. This includes coordination with the construction contractors and other Client personnel, especially for updates to the construction scope and / or schedule.
• Agency site visits – During agency site visits, the EI will accompany agency personnel to answer questions and ensure their safety on the worksite. Agency concerns will be immediately brought to the Client’s attention as well as tracked in the master spreadsheet for resolution.
