Mark W. Eisner, P.G., President
Mr. Mark W. Eisner, P.G. is President of Advanced Land and Water, Inc. (ALWI).
Possessing more than fifteen years experience in environmental and hydrogeological consulting, Mr. Eisner directs environmental and hydrogeologic investigations for both private and public sector clients. Mr. Eisner’s foremost technical expertise is in matters relating to water resources, including the occurrence, movement, use and management of both groundwater and surface water as a natural resource, its susceptibility and properties when contaminated, and in methods for its safe and sustainable development, and when necessary, its remediation.
On numerous occasions, Mr. Eisner has testified as an expert on matters related to groundwater resources, surface water resources, hydrogeological conditions, environmental contamination and due diligence studies. He has been admitted as an expert in many courts and jurisdictions across Maryland and in neighboring states. Specific areas of his technical expertise include mathematical modeling of hydrogeologic systems, pumping tests, and groundwater contamination investigation and remediation. Presently his consulting practice concentrates on the following:
Water Resources Exploration and Development
Mr. Eisner possesses an outstanding track record of locating developing, and permitting many of the highest yielding and quality potable, irrigation and industrial supply wells ever drilled in the Mid Atlantic Region. Specific areas of his technical expertise include fracture trace analysis; well design and construction management; pumping test design and analysis; wellhead protection delineations and source water assessment plans; surface water studies; mathematical modeling of hydrogeologic systems; spray irrigation permitting and other waste water application studies.
Environmental Investigation and Remediation
Mr. Eisner consults for clients nationwide on a wide range of technical, managerial and loss prevention aspects of environmental assessment, regulatory compliance, remediation and site closure issues. Mr. Eisner has personally completed nearly a thousand Phase I and Phase II ESAs, as well as several hundred Transaction Screens, subsurface hydrogeologic investigations, and environmental remediation designs. This work met or exceeded applicable standards published by the ASTM, other industry and professional organizations, and federal and state regulatory agencies.
Project Management
Mr. Eisner’s project management skills are exemplary: work is performed on time and within budget. ALWI uses the latest in project management software and techniques to provide state-of-the-art timeline and budgetary control on all projects. Clients are kept informed as to the work underway through regular written progress reports. Clients are afforded the means to contact Mr. Eisner around the clock via e-mail, pager and cellular services.
Regulatory Affairs
Mr. Eisner is a former regulator with a predecessor agency of the Maryland Department of the Environment. This commands him particular respect among professional colleagues at MDE and similar agencies in neighboring jurisdictions. Accordingly, his unique insights allow ALWI to provide its clients with the highest level of technical service and regulatory insight.
In 2003 and 2004, Mr. Eisner served on the Carroll County Environmental Affairs Advisory Board. In 2005, Mr. Eisner co-authored a guest feature column for the Carroll County Times on the application of GIS to water resources projects. The entire article is available here.
