About Nick Bauer

Founder and President, Bauer & Associates

In his three decades as a consultant and business executive, Nick Bauer has provided clear solutions to complex environmental problems for a broad range of clients and corporate stakeholders. After receiving an advanced degree in environmental engineering from Cal Tech, Nick embarked on a career in environmental affairs, developing a portfolio of technical expertise and supervisory experience that has served him well in his management of projects ranging from the clean-up of hazardous waste sites to the performance of environmental due diligence assessments. He has created and conducted training courses for both technical and non-technical corporate managers, provided deposition testimony, worked with private companies on the implementation of regulatory requirements, drafted permit applications, and conducted more than two-hundred environmental, health, and safety compliance audits for industries as diverse as food processing and petroleum refining. He has also played a management role in the remediation of complex Superfund sites, including the Arrowhead Plating Site in Virginia, the Fultz Landfill in Ohio, the Caldwell Trucking Site in New Jersey, and the Scovill Industrial Landfill in Connecticut. Drawing on his experience at these sites, Nick has written or co-authored several papers on the use of innovative technologies in multi-dimensional remediation projects.

Nick’s combination of rigorous technical education and broad practical experience enables him to identify and address environmental challenges with an eye toward reconciling the often-conflicting goals of the stakeholders in a project. As a former project manager for a large environmental consulting company, he understands the needs of both regulators and the regulated community; as a former corporate executive, he recognizes the importance of accounting for budgetary realities in the development of project plans. He has worked with federal regulators, representatives of state and local environmental agencies, property owners, state and local governments, construction contractors, business managers, attorneys, scientists, and engineers—often on the same project. Now, as the founder and president of Bauer & Associates, he continues to share his technical expertise and management savvy with colleagues and clients alike.
