Cam Salyers has been hired by the Great Plains Development Authority as its environmental specialist. Salyers will be responsible for the long-term monitoring, compliance and recordkeeping required by environmental agencies at the Great Plains Industrial Park, formerly the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant.
In its acquisition of 6,700 acres of the property, GPDA will assume the long-term monitoring previously established on the grounds, as well as all anticipated monitoring required of the current and future remediation of production sites. As part of the transfer the Army will provide funding, in advance, for GPDA monitoring needs.
Matrix Environmental Services, Denver, provides environmental consultation for GPDA during its negotiations with the Army, and the company has the contract for the remediation of the 900 Area. Salyers’ employment with the authority ensures continuity between what is negotiated for monitoring and the execution and long-term compliance of those requirements, GPDA officials said.
Salyers is a native Parsonian, a graduate of Parsons High School, and holds a bachelor of arts in environmental studies from the University of Kansas.
