A Brief Glimpse into Lauren Nielsen’s Journey
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Lauren’s dedication to her studies and her insatiable curiosity were evident early on when she graduated as the valedictorian from her high school.

Here, Lauren emphasized a trifecta of risk-based remedial approaches, release prevention, and continual improvement, filling a vital gap in the industry.
Lauren’s ability to establish a clientele comprising underground storage tank (UST) owners and her knack for achieving LUST incident closures within the ELTF’s budgetary outlines showcases her unparalleled proficiency. With her deep understanding of UST regulations and technical standards, she has become an invaluable resource for clients navigating the intricate world of underground storage.
