Partner at Cable Huston

Frank did a tremendous job pinch-hitting for me in the MTBE multi-district litigation when our retained expert hydrogeologist withdrew over a conflict. With less than a month to write a rebuttal expert report, Frank quickly digested the sampling data, regional groundwater studies and historical records and produced an excellent, easy-to-read report that firmly rebuked plaintiffs’ expert who had tried to link MTBE in groundwater to our client’s gas stations in multiple locations in Rockland County, New York. Based largely on Frank’s report, our client was able to reach a favorable settlement. I only wish we had the chance to put Frank on the stand!

VP Compliance and Ethics at Guardian Industries

Frank is a very knowledgeable hydrogeologist and groundwater modeler. I used Frank to help develop systems around the groundwater program at a large oil refinery and he did an awesome job. I and some of my collegues have worked with him several times since and have always been pleased with the results.

Sr. Project Manager at Project Navigator, Ltd

Frank did excellent work on groundwater modeling for the former Tex Tin Superfund site where we needed to evaluate changes in the installed remedy for future redevelopment of the site as part of a property sale transaction. Frank worked on the original site modeling and the new model work was pivotal in closing the sale transaction. Great work.

Environmental Remediation Digital Marketing Specialist

I have known Frank Breen since 2001, when we were both working to apply an innovative groundwater remediation technology solution at a chlorinated solvent contaminated industrial site with far less than ideal soil geology and hydrogeological constraints.

His extensive network of professional consultants, real estate property managers, and insurance firms, allows him to effectively contribute to a wide range of project and client needs by providing an independent, focused, solution-oriented, innovative project management approach.

CAO/Secretary-Treasurer at Lower Trent Conservation

While I led the Drinking Water Source Protection program at the Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority (SSMRCA), we hired Frank as a peer reviewer for our Groundwater Water Budget study. The study was multi-faceted and lasted several years. Frank’s knowledge of groundwater systems and geologic formations ensured that the consultants considered all possible interactions. The water supply modelling was vigorously reviewed by Frank and he worked directly with the consultants to ensure all parameters were considered. Frank’s work is always thorough. Frank was an integral part of the team and was always completely professional.

In addition, Frank completed a review of a groundwater study for SSMRCA in regard to a development in a coastal wetland. His report identified issues in regard to water quality in relation to development pressures that were contrary to provincial regulations. His report outlined the negative effects of the development on the water quality of flows into the mouth of the St. Marys River. His report was a major factor behind the staff recommendation to reject the permit for the development.

I would highly recommend Frank Breen as a consultant.

Field Advisor at Forests Ontario

Breen Geoscience were contracted by the Sault Ste. Marie Conservation Authority to provide a technical opinion to assist in minimizing the potential risk to human health and the environment and provide technical input regarding the effects of a development on an area containing a large Great Lakes coastal wetland. Fortunately, as President of the Pointes Protection Association, an NGO, who objected to the development proposal, I was able to contact Mr. Breen, who agreed to make himself, and the report, available for presentation before city council, and ultimately at a future appeal by the developer, to the Ontario Municipal Board. His report and his testimony were recognized as being professional and standard setting and instrumental in pointing out the risks and potential damage the development could incur. It should be noted that he did this on a voluntary basis, which further affirms his professionalism.

I’ve known Frank since about 1985 when we worked together. I now call upon him to conduct accurate, meaningful, and highly defensible computer analyses of aquifers. We’ve worked together on about six projects.
