Christopher Furlong brings over 15 years of environmental consulting experience to Manko, Gold, Katcher & Fox, with a strong focus on site remediation, project management, and regulatory compliance. He is a former New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) who has led complex remediation projects across sectors including oil and gas, government, utilities, pharmaceutical, and industrial properties. Chris’s background includes site assessment, stakeholder engagement, technical reporting, and remediation cost estimating. His broad experience informs his strategic approach to regulatory and transactional matters—particularly those involving environmental due diligence, remediation of emerging contaminants such as PFAS, litigation support, and complex regulatory challenges. Chris speaks on relevant topics including risk communication and PFAS remediation at various industry events.
Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending time at the beach, cooking, watching live music, and snowboarding.
Christopher has worked with clients to help:
- Direct site closure strategy including Technical Impracticability for a former industrial facility with deep bedrock contamination to preclude active remediation.
- Develop lines of evidence to preclude a bedrock chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) investigation at an active industrial facility based on a determination that the contamination originated from an unknown, off-site source.
- Direct a site investigation strategy to evaluate regional PFAS contamination in groundwater proximal to a former pharmaceutical manufacturing facility to facilitiate an off-site source determination.
- Direct a building demolition and site investigation strategy to achieve regulatory closure at a former paint manufacturing plant to facilitiate re-development utilizing public funds.
- Prepare regulatory submissions for all phases of remediation, including a Preliminary Assessment, Site Investigation, Remedial Investigation, Remediation Action, Remedial Action Permit, and Response Action Outcome for various commercial and industrial properties.
