She <br />specializes in strategic planning, service procurements and contracts, rate <br />analyses, recycling/waste reduction program development and <br />implementation, and characterization studies. <br />Robin also has a rich background in regulatory and policy development, <br />which enables her to quickly understand and interpret regulatory <br />requirements. <br />Robin has worked on the following projects with KCI: <br />✓ Zero Waste Principles and Practices National Certification Course, <br />SWANA <br />Robin managed the KCI project team that designed and developed this <br />certification course. In addition to researching and writing several <br />sections of the course manual, she also combined all sections into a <br />cohesive document and did the final editing. She was also the primary <br />liaison with the client and participated in the train-the-trainer session. <br />✓ Waste Characterization Study, North Carolina State University, <br />Raleigh, NC <br />Robin managed this project to determine the composition of solid <br />waste disposed in academic buildings, residential halls, dining facilities, <br />libraries, mixed use buildings, and research and medical buildings of <br />the NC State campus. The WCS consisted of sampling and sorting solid <br />waste from 33 distinct buildings to determine the types and quantities <br />of recoverable materials being disposed. Results were used to identify <br />additional waste diversion opportunities to assist NC State in achieving <br />its 65% recycling goal. <br />✓ Solid and Hazardous Waste Audit, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC <br />Robin managed this project, which consisted of both a solid waste and hazardous waste audit for <br />the University. The solid waste audit entailed sampling and sorting waste from more than 45 distinct <br />areas of the campus. The objective was to determine the types and quantities of waste, especially <br />recoverable materials, disposed by the academic, auxiliary, and residential areas of the campus. The <br />Hazardous Waste Audit was conducted to establish a benchmark of the University’s compliance with <br />State and Federal regulations. <br /> <br />ROBIN MITCHELL <br />Technical Advisor M.S.
