Our guest speaker, Molly Arp Newell, Founder and President of EnviroNET, is a Professional Geologist (PG), a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM), certified licensed Asbestos inspector, and certified Lead-based-paint Inspector and Risk Assessor (LIRA), with additional credentials specific to hazardous, toxic environments, real estate assessment, and remediation of soil and groundwater contaminants. She specializes in serving clients, resolving regulatory problems, and minimizing liability for project stakeholders in real estate development deals. Newell is a native of the Quad Cities who moved back to the Midwest after working in the oil fields of the Western United States, Southern United States, and the UK. 

Newell is dedicated to this area and to improving the local environment through public and private associations including participation in the Quad City Chamber of Commerce, planning commissions, non-profit board of directors, trade associations, and civic organizations.

Molly now serves as Director of Sales and works with clients and EnviroNET engineers to determine technological options for resolving environmental problems.  Options are articulated with time lines vs costs over time.  Molly also performs site visits and field audits for regulatory compliance projects, assessment projects and remediation sites.  She takes the lead on hydrogeological studies and water budget projects. 

Molly has FEMA security Clearance for environmental engineering work as an environmental planner. She oversees EnviroNET’s commitment as contractor on FEMA Zone 2, TAC IV (5 year) contract.  Molly maintains Federal Security Clearance to access munition plants and the local Rock Island Arsenal.
