PROJECTS

State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality

Green Mountain Strategies owner, Robin Tindall, represented the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in complex negotiations as part of a large Rails-to-Trails conversion project. The 72 mile trail runs through many towns, a Superfund site, and the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation, and had significant environmental issues that needed to be addressed. Stakeholders involved in the negotiations and settlement action that funded the conversion included Union Pacific Railroad, The Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the U.S. Department of Justice, The State of Idaho Department of Fish and Wildlife, USEPA, and several law firms.

Stowe Mountain Resort & Spruce Peak Development

In 2003, Stowe ski resort began its Spruce Peak development. We wrote the detailed Environmental Charter for the project. All contractors on the project have received a copy so that they know the standards to which they will be held and the goals of environmental leadership set up by the project managers.

Lead Exposure and Environmental Degradation, Michoacan, Mexico

A project in Mexico explored the human health and environmental implications of a cottage pottery industry. Issues ranged from lead exposures to deforestation, and our team completed a thorough analysis of the situation that was later published in the Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology.
