Obituary

David W. Miller, 95, a pioneer in the global study and practice of groundwater geology and contaminant flow and co-founder and CEO of consultant Geraghty & Miller, Syosset, N.Y., died on March 7 in Brewster, Mass.

Launched in 1957 with peer expert James Geraghty, the firm was acquired in 1993 by Dutch global consultant Heidemij and became that company’s Colorado-based North America hub—rebranded as Arcadis. 

Miller was principal author in 1977 of a definitive congressional report on groundwater remediation and with Geraghty, the former company chair who died in 2011, wrote many of the field’s defining guidelines and texts.

A top U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official in the 1980s said the principals were “a decade or more ahead of everyone else in terms of technology.”

Miller retired in 1997 but continued to do consulting.
