Elizabeth Coyle, PE, Vice Chairman
Elizabeth Coyle received her BS and MS in Environmental Engineering in Upstate NY at the State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry in conjunction with Syracuse University. Her graduate school research there resulted in the first GIS non-point source pollution model of the entire Onondaga Lake Watershed in Syracuse NY. Currently, Elizabeth has a fully funded fellowship with a research grant funding herself and two undergraduate students. This funding will enable her to pursue a PhD at the University of Kentucky in the Water Resources Division of the Civil Engineering Department. Her doctoral research is concentrating on extremely high rate disinfection of wet weather overflows and the numeric modeling of the physical disinfection system, based on various water quality parameters, for use with disinfectant chemical feed equipment and PLCs.
Her work experience includes 6 years with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation where she gained 5 years of experience in the Division of Water. During that time she regulated over $500,000,000 worth of water quality improvement projects required under the enforcement of the Amended Consent Judgment against Onondaga County, NY. Her experience includes the regulation of the 5 major wastewater treatment plants and the design, development and code review of wastewater treatment plant upgrades, sewer system upgrades and CSO/SSO improvement projects. To move closer to her immediate and extended family, Elizabeth relocated to KY in July 2004 where she worked with the Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) in Regulatory Management Services for two years. Her duties while with MSD included the project management of many of the water quality sampling and modeling projects in support of regulatory requirements.
In the summer of 2006, Elizabeth began her own engineering firm and is now President of Coyle & Associates, Inc. an environmental engineering and science consulting firm. She currently serves as the technical consultant for the Kentucky Division of Water (KDOW) Wet Weather Team supporting all state endeavors to minimize and/or eliminate wet weather flows throughout the state. This includes the development of water quality guidance documents for the State, information management and support in a technical capacity with the Consent Decrees that have been recently executed with various municipalities in the State. In addition to the work with KDOW, Elizabeth has served in a technical support and advisory capacity for Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute (KWRRI), assisting in the development and technical documentation of TMDLs to be submitted to the State of Kentucky and to the Federal EPA.
More recently, Elizabeth has accepted additional responsibilities as the required Professional Engineer and as Vice Chairman of the Storm Water Board, and as Engineer of the Board for the Sewer Board in the City of New Albany, IN. To compliment Elizabeth’s efforts, Coyle & Associates, Inc. has agreed to offer contractual services to the City of New Albany as City Engineer to support the improved coordination and quality of all infrastructure improvement projects, support in a regulatory advisory capacity, to assist in minor code reviews not currently covered and to help manage GIS and other data/information management or engineering tasks needed in house at the City level.
