She frequently supports tribes on site remediation, providing third-party technical evaluations of risk assessments, remedial investigations, feasibility studies, and remedial design documents to ensure the protection of tribal interests and natural resources. Gail is the program manager of IEc’s Environmental Services Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts with NOAA’s Restoration Center, under which she has provided habitat restoration support across the country for resources and habitats such as coral reefs, seagrass, marine mammals, fish, oysters, coastal wetlands, and deep benthic habitats. Since 2010, she has supported natural resource trustees for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on injury assessment, restoration planning, restoration design, National Environmental Policy Act evaluations, and public outreach.
