Mark M. McClellan

Mark M. McClellan is President of Evergreen Environmental, Inc. (EEI), an environmental service and consulting firm headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. EEI specializes in providing private sector and government clients with comprehensive environmental compliance, permitting, and regulatory services as well as providing project management on complex projects, regulatory approvals for new environmental technologies, air quality, waste management and water quality permit application preparation as well as operation and management services for environmental infrastructure facilities.

Prior to his association with EEI, Mr. McClellan was Vice President for Corporate Development for the EMAS Group, an integrated waste management company headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. EMAS owned or operated six landfills in the mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes Regions, and also provided a broad spectrum of related waste services including recycling, collection/transportation, waste brokerage, and remediation.

Prior to accepting his position with EMAS, Mr. McClellan served from 1987-1991 as the Deputy Secretary for Environmental Protection of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (DER). Mr. McClellan was appointed to this position by Governor Robert P. Casey and in this capacity was responsible for directing all of the Commonwealth's principal environmental regulatory programs and federally delegated programs concerning waste management, air quality, water quality, drinking water, mining and oil and gas development, public health programs and radiation protection.

During Mr. McClellan's tenure as Deputy Secretary, all of the major elements of Pennsylvania's successful municipal and residual waste regulatory program were put in place. Under his direction, the Commonwealth's municipal waste regulations were developed and implemented to close all substandard landfills and replace them with the current system of double-lined, environmentally safe landfills. The Commonwealth’s residual waste regulations were proposed under his tenure including the current state program for the beneficial use of these waste materials. He was also responsible for the development and successful implementation of the Commonwealth's nationally recognized mandatory curb-side recycling program, hazardous waste cleanup program and solid waste planning process.

For over 25 years Mr. McClellan has played a major role in shaping Pennsylvania's environmental programs. He was instrumental in the drafting of many of Pennsylvania's environmental statutes and regulations pertaining to such issues as: solid waste management; hazardous waste cleanup; water and air quality; oil and gas; recycling; environmental facility siting; radioactive waste; mining; and pesticide control.

Prior to his appointment by the Governor, Mr. McClellan was a founding partner of Associated Resources Consultants, providing highly specialized consulting services in the environmental and energy fields. Earlier, as Executive Director of the Citizens' Advisory Council to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources from 1978-1986, Mr. McClellan acted as the state environmental advocate, responsible for monitoring the activities of the department, reviewing all environmental laws and legislation, and advising the Governor and General Assembly on environmental affairs.

Mr. McClellan received a BA from Ohio University in 1972 and completed graduate studies in public administration at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh in 1976.
