Rachel Blomberg is a registered professional engineer (P.E.) and serves as a Program Manager for the EPA/IIS Program, Special Projects Branch, of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. She served as a hydrologist and project manager for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) in the Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division Remediation Program, and worked for the USGS in their Colorado Water Science Center before joining the State. Rachel’s primary duties range from asbestos mitigation to contaminated groundwater cleanup on active military bases and formerly used defense sites, but she primarily focuses on emerging contaminants through her PFAS response efforts at Colorado’s Air Force Bases and through her involvement in drafting new site specific groundwater standards.
Rachel earned a BS from Cornell University and a MS from Colorado School of Mines. Originally from Northern California, she has lived in NY, AK, ME, Denmark and finally Colorado. She spends much of her free time renovating her century old home in Denver.

Otherwise, he likes to camp in the summer, to find a hut trip to take in the winter, and he likes to hunt in the fall.
