Dame. His research focus was on bacterial adsorption onto mineral surfaces and
the resulting effects on contaminant fate and transport. As a hydrogeologist with CEMATS, Dr. Ams
performs soil and groundwater investigations and hydrogeochemical
evaluations in support of natural attenuation studies and to evaluate the
applicability and effectiveness of various in-situ
bioremediation and chemical oxidation remediation technologies.
Alexander A. Patane is an environmental
scientist specializing in biology and wetlands ecology. Mr. Patane has extensive experience in construction, project
management, grading and drainage. He has participated in the planning,

with the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the US Fish and Wildlife
Service, the NYSDEC and the Army Corps of Engineers. As part of CEMATS he has
directed construction and installation, and operated and maintained,
remediation systems employing air sparging, soil
