Paul J. Moynihan, Project Manager
pmoynihan@mjbradley.com

Paul works in MJB&A's advanced vehicle technologies group providing project management and technical support to initiatives aimed at reducing emissions from mobile sources, as well as preparing technical reports. Initiatives he has worked on range from real-world demonstration projects to environmental policy-related case studies. In addition to working with mobile sources, Paul also has significant experience with industrial air quality management.

Paul's mobile source project work includes the specification, implementation, and evaluation of advanced emission controls for both on-road and non-road applications. Specific project work has involved retrofitting refuse collection trucks with diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalysts. Non-road projects involve managing the implementation of diesel particulate filters on off-road diesel construction equipment and overseeing a fuel switch to ultra-low sulfur diesel.

While at MJB&A, Paul has been responsible for project oversight of emission testing initiatives, both dynamometer-based as well as using portable monitoring systems. Different technologies tested include transit buses, both hybrid-electric, diesel, and alternative-fueled, refuse collection trucks, street sweepers, and construction equipment.

Besides real-world deployments, Paul is also MJB&A's primary emission source modeler. He utilizes computer software programs to develop policy initiatives regarding emission reduction strategies for both mobile and industrial sources. In addition to utilizing third-party software, Paul has also contributed to the development of emission-reduction strategy software tools that MJB&A has developed for both transit bus and non-road applications.

Paul also assists industrial facilities with maintaining environmental compliance. This work includes working closely with a fuel cell component manufacturer in developing a comprehensive state permit application comprised of an inventory of equipment and emissions so that manufacturing and R&D flexibility can be maximized while minimizing air quality impacts.

Prior to joining MJB&A, Paul worked for several national environmental consulting firms as an environmental engineer and project manager. He has over twelve years experience in conducting air quality impact analyses for industrial and mobile air pollution sources, and providing air pollution source permitting and annual emission report summaries. He has also managed the development of several major Title V operating permits for industrial facilities and environmental impact statements for major transportation improvement plans. In addition, Paul has provided interpretation of existing, new and proposed regulations, and performed environmental auditing of industrial facilities to assess compliance with local, state and federal requirements.

Paul holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. He is a Registered Engineer-In-Training with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Paul is a member of the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA).
