Marian Barnes, MAI, SR/WA worked for 20 years identifying, investigating, and cleaning up contaminated sites before changing her profession to appraising. Her specialty was hazardous waste regulation that provided her the opportunity to work at refineries, metal working shops, regional landfills, and chemical manufacturers. She provided internal training and client seminars on hazardous waste regulations. While most of her work was in the upper Midwest, she consulted nationally and did a stint as a field geologist in Belgium and Luxemburg. She served as a Teaching Assistant while earning her masters in geology/hydrogeology. For the last ten years she has appraised for public works projects and right of way. Appraisals are often in rural areas and include avigation easements, transmission line easements, rail-trail corridor property, and transportation acquisitions. She has presented her science-based appraisal studies to the IRWA Badger Chapter 17, Region 5 Forum, International Education Conference, and the Wisconsin chapter of the Appraisal Institute. She has published two articles in the Right of Way magazine and completed a five-year leadership tract with the Wisconsin IRWA chapter.
