A. Dwight Bedsole
AHC Group Workshop Chair
Assistant EPA Administrator Marianne Lamont Horinko presents award to Dwight Bedsole.
The award was to the DuPont Corporate Remediation Group Director Dwight Bedsole for the company's pledge to meet two key contamination control measures (Environmental Indicators) by the end of 2005 at 26 Dupont sites. DuPont has committed to meeting the EIs at more sites than any other company.
For the last three years Dwight has helped in assembling and coordinating over 60 leading companies as our Workshop Chair on Site Remediation.
As Business Director for the DuPont Corporate Remediation Group, Dwight currently provides leadership to a group chartered with the responsibility of managing the global environmental liabilities of DuPont. He has over 34 years' experience with DuPont in a variety of plant manufacturing, technical, project design/liaison and business roles.
Business assignments included negotiating international joint ventures and acquisitions, facility planning for global sites, and the development of a long-term business strategy and plans for a $1 billion/year global business. He also worked closely with the US EPA and the United Nations to negotiate a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) phase-out plan with the international community (i.e., the Montreal Protocol) to address global concerns regarding depletion of the earth's ozone layer. In addition, he led the restructuring of DuPont global Freon business, including the phase-out of existing products and introduction of alternative new products.
During the last 12 years in remediation Dwight participated in the formation and startup of a 100% DuPont subsidiary — DuPont Environmental Remediation Sevices (DERS) — to address DuPont internal remediation needs as well as external marketing of remediation services. He later participated in the dissolution of the 350-person organization and restructuring of the DuPont Corporate Remediation Group to focus only on internal liabilities.
Dwight has represented the concerns of DuPont and industry over the onerous interpretation of environmental regulations through the presentation of testimony at state, federal, and public hearings. He has participated in numerous state, federal, and industry forums as a presenter and panelist on issues related to Superfund, RCRA, Cost/Benefit, Tort Reform, Brownfields, NRD, Risk Assessment, Eco-Assessments, and Sediments. He has led and participated in numerous benchmarking efforts.
Dwight is a graduate of Auburn University with a MS in Chemical Engineering.
