GER staff attended the 64th annual Association of Conservation Engineers (ACE) conference this October and presented a session on one of our specialized services. ACE collaborates with the natural environment to promote the application of effective engineering practices in natural resource protection and recreation development. This organization is comprised of individuals with shared interest in fish, wildlife, parks, and conservation and recreation fields.
Jacob Fitzpatrick, P.E., GER Environmental Engineer, presented a session titled, “Shooting Range Assessment and Waste Reduction”, sharing strategies for shooting range waste reduction and beneficial reuse. This session discussed GER’s experience with characterizing shooting ranges, renovating old ranges, reducing waste, reducing environmental liability, and increasing profitability at operating ranges.
