Deb Bartram

Deb Bartram, an ERG vice president, has spent her entire career working to improve water quality. From her first position reviewing wetlands permits for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to her 25+ year tenure supporting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in developing national standards for industrial wastewater discharges, she has learned the importance of balancing industrial development and environmental impacts.

Deb leads ERG water quality teams in identifying and supporting scientifically sound and realistic approaches for improving the nation’s waters. She has developed specialized expertise in characterizing point source pollution and in evaluating the costs and benefits of technology-based solutions to reduce point source discharges. She has reviewed and profiled a wide variety of industrial categories and conducted corresponding engineering and environmental assessments.

Deb holds a B.S. in environmental engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
