Earl James, PG, has been instrumental in helping EKI grow and prosper over those years, where he started as one of the first employees. He is a Vice President in the Environmental Services Group and a member of the Board where he served as Chairperson from 2018 until 2023. He is an expert in environmental evaluation and remediation of contaminated sites. Earl is known for his creative approaches to assessing sources, migration, and impacts of contaminants in the environment. He is currently focused on the ongoing transformation of brownfields and oil fields into the parks and housing that our communities need and desire.

Earl continues to advise agencies, site owners, and consultants on complex technical environmental issues. He is hoping for another 35 years of working with his fellow EKIers, great clients, members of the regulatory agencies, and other organizations that support efforts to clean up the soil and groundwater beneath our communities and open spaces.
