Mr. William Goodfellow is a Principal Scientist and the Director of Ģtv's Ecological and Biological Sciences practice. He is a Board-Certified Environmental Scientist with special emphasis in Environmental Toxicology.

Mr. Goodfellow has more than 35 years of experience in environmental toxicology and causal effect assessments. His technical experience includes environmental assessment of chemical and biological contaminants in air, surface water, groundwater, soil and sediment, and their toxicological risk associated with potential contaminants of concern; performance of environmental compliance assessments and audits; design and performance of Toxicity Reduction Evaluations (TREs) for municipal and industrial discharges; assisting with treatability assessments of contaminated sediments, soils, and wastewater; researching and writing technical documents on federal and state water quality criteria, regulatory policies and other water pollution control issues; and conceptual and experimental evaluations on the toxicity, fate, and effects of chemicals in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; assessment of environmental damage resulting from point- and non-point-source discharge; and assessment and remediation of potentially toxic sediment and dredge materials.

Mr. Goodfellow has considerable experience in addressing impacts from physical and chemical stressors such as metals, mercury and organomercury, inorganic salts, dioxin/furans, PCBs, PFAS, PAHs, other chlorinated organics, solvents (TCE, PCE), 6PPD, microplastics, munitions, pesticides/herbicides, surfactants, nutrients, ammonia, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and habitat changes. Many of his projects involve aspects of historic reconstruction of chemical releases, divisibility and apportionment, and injury assessment. His projects involve regulatory drivers including Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Clean Water Act (CWA), NPDES, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the respective state implementations of these federal initiatives as well as similar initiatives in other countries. Mr. Goodfellow has extensive experience in development, submission, review, and auditing of environmental permits for aquatic discharges and land-use activities.

He has considerable experience in addressing agriculture and land-use management issues through ecological assessments of flora and fauna populations. Mr. Goodfellow's experience includes issues related to agricultural production and farming practices for crops such as rice, sugar cane, strawberry, grapes, cotton, corn, wheat, soybean, beans, peas, pepper, potatoes, tomatoes, tree nuts, shrubs, and turf as well as cattle, dairy, swine, poultry, fish, and shellfish.  He also has extensive experience in addressing nutrient and manure management issues, fertilizer production, land application of biosolids, residuals, and fertilizers, invasive species, and genetically modified organisms (GMO). Mr. Goodfellow has experience in pest management and control practices as well as addressing nuisance pests and animals in housing and dormitory situations.

Mr. Goodfellow is an internationally recognized expert in environmental assessment, toxicology, and TRE technology.  He is a Past President of the international professional society, Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry and a SETAC Fellow. He is an experienced consulting and testifying expert on a range of legal matters in civil and criminal actions involving environmental claims; spills, NRDA, remediation and insurance cost recovery; toxic tort; agricultural issues; and standard of care. Mr. Goodfellow has served on peer-review panels, advisory boards, task forces, and editorial committees for natural resources, environmental assessment, toxicology, and TRE issues, as well as being widely published.
