We’re excited to announce that Amanda Smith with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is presenting at the Battelle 2026 Chlorinated Conference on June 3, 2026. Amanda will be sharing the successful completion of a field-scale remediation initiative at the U.S. Port of Entry in Detroit as part of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project, a collaboration between MDOT and the WDBA - Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority. Amanda Smith (MDOT) and Kevin Lund (MSG) are attending, and we hope to see you in Fort Worth, TX.

This project addressed legacy environmental challenges from historical industrial activities, including the remediation of trichloroethylene (TCE)-impacted soils, removal of underground storage tanks, and management of asbestos-containing materials. Our teams conducted electromagnetic surveys, excavated 16 TCE “hot spots,” and managed 19 distinct waste streams, while overcoming complex urban, logistical, and environmental conditions.

Through innovative field strategies and close coordination among partners and regulatory agencies, we removed over 15,000 tons of contaminated materials, implemented advanced v***r mitigation, and achieved Parcel Project Ready (PPR) status. This work is paving the way for the new international crossing, supporting both environmental stewardship and economic development.

Congratulations to everyone at MDOT, WDBA, Bridging North America, MSG and the entire project team for their dedication and expertise in delivering this critical infrastructure between Michigan and Canada.

Memorial Day is a time to honor those that gave their lives in service to our country and to preserve our freedom.

On this day, we give special reverence to Victory in Europe (V-E) day, May 8th. The World War II Museum in New Orleans, LA has a powerful exhibit on the magnitude of lives lost 80 years ago. As the photo shows, each cross is a young life cut short. The rows stretch far into the distance, and it is just one of many American Cemeteries in Europe.

At MSG, we wish all of our employees, clients and consultants a safe and relaxing weekend. Please take some time to watch a parade or attend a ceremony. Remember to spend a few minutes acknowledging the sacrifice of those who helped the Allies achieve V-E day, but did not get to see or celebrate it.

MSG adds Mussel Survey Capabilities
By passing the mussel identification test, Nate Tessler expands MSG’s environmental services capabilities. With this certification, MSG can now perform in-house mussel surveys and relocations across Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. Self-performing this work allows us to better control project schedules, costs, and coordination.

This added capability strengthens our ability to support clients through environmental permitting and compliance, particularly for projects involving aquatic resources and Section 404 permitting.

Throughout the Midwest, many species of freshwater mussels are considered rare or imperiled and are protected from harm through federal and state laws. Since they live on the stream or lake bottom and cannot move quickly, they’re at risk of being harmed when construction impacts waterways. A qualified mussel surveyor (also known as a malacologist) can visit your project, locate mussels, and move them out of harm’s way to prevent any project delays and legal issues associated with harming these creatures.

Have an upcoming project that will impact a stream, pond, lake, or even one of the Great Lakes? Reach out to Nate Tessler, Sally Gladwell or Brandon Hill to learn more about mussel survey requirements for your project.

Contact us now to schedule work for the 2026 field season!

The Fulton County Economic Development Corporation (FCEDC) named Cheryl Geer Volunteer of the Year for 2026! She has served the Metamora, Ohio community for more than 60 years.

MSG has a long-time professional and personal connection to Fulton County. MSG's President, Brian Geer, was born and raised there and learned a thing or two from his Mom's dedication to the community.

Cheryl has given her time and talent to the Village she loves. She served on Metamora Village Council for 21 years. She was involved in Park O Rama, the Village's beloved annual festival, from its very first event in 1963 all the way through its final celebration in 2014. She continues that spirit today through the Chamber's Party in the Park.

Cheryl has served as organist at Metamora United Methodist Church for most of her life, providing music for weddings, funerals, worship, and community gatherings. She is the familiar voice at the Christmas Parade of Lights, the Memorial Dedication Ceremony, and countless other Village events.

She has worked at local polling locations more than 19 times. She volunteers monthly at the community food distribution center. She is an active member of the Metamora Area Historical Society, United Women in Faith, the Republican Party, and Eastern Stars.

Cheryl Geer is the kind of person who makes a community worth living in. We are proud to join with the FCEDC and honor her extraordinary lifetime of service.
