EPA’s Palos Verdes Shelf Institutional Controls Team: (from left to right) Lori Lewis, Jackie Lane and Taly Jolish
|
In this article, FCEC introduces the key members of the EPA Palos Verdes Shelf Institutional Controls Program team: Jackie Lane, Lori Lewis and Taly Jolish. Each member of this team plays a critical role in carrying out this complex project, assisting Remedial Project Manager Sharon Lin to ensure effective implementation of the programs. Jackie Lane is the community involvement coordinator who has been with the Palos Verdes Shelf project since the beginning. She is the longest serving EPA member on this project and serves as the “institutional knowledge” for the rest of the team. Her responsibilities are two-fold: she advises and guides the development and implementation of the Institutional Controls’ three-prong outreach program and manages the community involvement activities for the remedial action work on the site. Jackie said she loves working on this project “because it encompasses all aspects of the Superfund process.” She added, “It is very innovative and participatory. It truly sets the standard for public involvement in a cleanup program.” In Jackie’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, especially with her two grandchildren, as well as supporting her community church activities. Taly Jolish is the EPA site attorney who joined the PV Shelf Project as the project attorney this summer overseeing the legal aspect for the project. Taly was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley and received her law degree from Harvard Law School. She came to EPA in 2005, after spending nearly seven years practicing as a litigation associate at a San Francisco law firm. She currently lives in San Francisco with her husband and two young children where she bakes anything she can with chocolate for her family to enjoy. When not spending time with her family and baking with chocolate, Taly enjoys reading all kinds of books – fiction and non-fiction alike. Lori Lewis is the regional facilitator for Region 9 who has been with EPA since 1986. Employing a variety of mediation and facilitation processes, she assists groups (both internal and external) in resolving environmental issues and concerns. She has worked with PV Shelf stakeholders since 2005 assisting them in developing their strategic plans, identifying and resolving issues and having useful conversations. Lori is professionally certified as a facilitator by the International Association of Facilitators. She is an anthropologist by education, owns six bicycles and is intrigued in figuring out how people can adapt to change and broaden their thinking in a chaotic world.
