He is familiar with Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and Best Management Practices (BMPs) used in erosion and sediment control on active construction sites through schooling and training.

Matt began his career completing wetland restoration and performing invasive plant management in wetlands across Ohio. He also assisted with native plantings, stream restoration, and endangered species surveys. While at The Nature Conservancy, he volunteered to work with invasive plant management at Herrick Fen. Additionally, he has received training for Primary Headwater Habitat Biological Assessment through the Ohio EPA and Asbestos Asphalt Coated-Pipe Wrap Removal through TSI, as well as being a Certified Erosion, Sediment, and Stormwater Inspector (CESSWI) through Envirocert.

Matt also holds a life-long passion for life outdoors. When he is not catching up on the latest nature documentary or backpacking across the backwoods of Pennsylvania, Matt enjoys smoking up some tasty meats on his Trager Pro 575 for his wife and two kids.

While at Ohio EPA, Paul assessed streams and inland lakes to determine the attainment of chemical and biological water quality criteria. He also developed plans to preserve and protect aquatic resources through the preparation of integrated water quality and Total Maximum Daily Load reports. Paul played a key role in the development of protocols to establish the Ohio EPA nearshore Lake Erie monitoring program currently being conducted by Ohio EPA.

He was also active in water quality assessment, remedial projects, and habitat improvement projects for the Black River and the Ashtabula River Great Lakes Areas of Concern. Paul and his colleagues at the Ohio EPA developed an aquatic life use classification system and evaluation protocols for Primary Headwater Habitat stream ecosystems. He also worked to develop a statewide protocol for the evaluation of stream mitigation requirements related to 401 Water Quality Certifications for stream and Lake Erie estuary impacts in Ohio for incorporation into the Ohio water quality standards.

Paul holds Level 3 Qualified Data Collector status for Water Chemistry and Fish Community Biology through the Ohio EPA Credible Data Program (CDP). He is also a Qualified Trainer for stream habitat and fish community assessment using Ohio EPA methodologies through the CDP.
