Biographical Summary of Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H. 1941 – Present.
Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H. was born and raised in Lancaster, Ohio, He studied music beginning in
the 3 rd grade playing the cornet and singing in the choir, last soloing at the city-wide 8 th Grade Sing. He also played baseball as shortstop during grammar school days for the Moose Lodge, coached by his
father, Clarence. In 1953, the team won the Jr. A Baseball Championship in Lancaster; he was later
awarded an academic-sportsman scholarship to Camp Arrowhead, near Jackson, Ohio, where boys
from all over the Midwest received concentrated instruction and coaching during the summer of 1954
by professional baseball players active at the time. He attended Lancaster High School and graduated
in the Class of 1959. During those four years, he was active in the Science Club, Demolay, Student
Council, and played cornet in the LHS marching band and the LHS symphonic orchestra. He also
played basketball and lettered in baseball twice playing shortstop after recovering from a serious injury
to his arm resulting from a home-laboratory accident in 1957. In 1958, the team won the District A.A.
Championship under Coach England. His early years were the best of times and the worst of times.

After graduation from LHS, he traveled to California to begin his college career and attended San
Bernardino Valley College. Later, he transferred to The Ohio State University and majored in geology
and hydrogeology. During the early 1960s he worked his way through Ohio State by working during
summers and off-quarters at Anchor Hocking, Diamond Power, and at Diamond Electronics, the latter of
which under the guidance of Ralph Matthews, Executive Vice-President, who was instrumental in the
development of early radio networks, and of John Anderson, Applications Engineer, and others on the
staff at Diamond Electronics.

After graduation from OSU, he and his growing family lived in Australia (Sydney), where he traveled
extensively conducting field investigations in Australia and Southeast Asia. After 4 years, he returned
to the U.S. and worked in Wyoming, Colorado and Ohio in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s working for
Conoco and United Nuclear, Inc., and in Texas since 1973. He was awarded the prestigious Mills Bennet
Fellowship and went on to graduate from Rice University with an advanced degree in geology in 1976,
during which he also served as Director of Research of the NWWA Research Facility at Rice managing a
staff conducting research for the U.S. EPA and other agencies.

Over the years, he has become well known nationally and overseas for his work as a technical leader in
the geosciences, as a senior program manager, consultant and lecturer in hydrogeology, mining, and
associated environmental and geotechnical fields during the early EPA projects that formed the
foundation of later environmental programs throughout the U.S. Over the years, he has progressed
through the professional ranks from staff positions to senior management positions as Principal and
Corporate Consultant status in geology and hydrogeology with environmental and engineering
consulting companies, mining companies and the chemical industry. He has been listed since the early
1970s in various editions of Who’s Who in the South, Who’s Who in America, American Men and
Women in Science, and Who’s Who in Technology.

He helped to raise five children, two sons and three daughters, all of which are now college graduates
with one or more degrees from such institutions as: Texas A&M University in Geology, University of
Texas Medical School and Internship at Johns Hopkins University in Radiology, Sarah Lawrence
College, New York in Liberal Arts, Antioch College, California in Liberal Arts and Education, and from
the University of Houston, Houston, Texas in Italian and Art History. Mr. Campbell is licensed as a Professional Geologist in the States of Texas, Wyoming, Mississippi, and
Washington, licensed as a Professional Hydrogeologist in the State of Washington, and holds national
professional certifications in geology and hydrogeology. As a professional geologist and
hydrogeologist, he has gained a wide range of interdisciplinary experience in business and technical
management in the environmental (regulatory, geological and hydrogeological) and mining fields
(mineral exploration, mine development and related dewatering and environmental permitting) spanning
almost 40 years, many of which involving environmental issues surrounding oil and gas exploration,
production and distribution. He has traveled extensively throughout the world to such places as India, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa, Sudan, Sweden, Japan, Palau, and other countries on
projects for the United Nations and UNESCO for developing or improving ground-water supplies and for
developing other natural resources.
He has published widely, including three technical books, hundreds of technical papers and reports,
and has served on the editorial boards of a number of prestigious scientific journals. In 1976, he received the Martha Kinney Cooper Ohioana Library Award for his book published by McGraw-Hill, with
sales of more than 40,000 copies worldwide, the first such award presented to a native of Fairfield
County.
He has served as Principal Instructor for the Institute of Environmental Technology and as Principal
Hydrogeologist for the Environmental Litigation Associates, as well as serving as Principal of M. D.
Campbell and Associates in a father-and-son team managing a variety of geoscience projects. Just recently, he was elected a Fellow in the Geological Society of American and presented the leadoff paper
in April, 2004 at a major conference held in Chicago on geosciences in environmental litigation.

He also serves the legal community as an experienced expert witness on a wide range of cases in the
fields of environmental hydrogeology and engineering geology. He and his partner son, David, also a
graduate of Lancaster High School (1983) and a licensed professional geoscientist in Texas, recently
published an invited paper in a popular Chinese journal on crisis management of ground-water
supplies. They are working on a number of other manuscripts for publication. For additional
