Detailed description:

CDM was founded as a partnership in 1947 by Thomas R. Camp, Herman G. Dresser, and Jack E. McKee. Dr. Camp headed the department of sanitary engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology before leaving the university to set up a consulting practice. Dedicated to public health protection, he pioneered water treatment technologies such as dual-media filters and direct filtration for public water supplies. While Dr. Camp set the standard of technical excellence for CDM, Mr. Dresser established the tone and business practices of the firm, emphasizing the importance of employee development across all disciplines. Dr. McKee made professional contributions in water quality protection, groundwater recharge, and engineering education. He left the firm in 1949 to become a professor at the California Institute of Technology, later rejoining CDM on a part-time basis. In its early years and throughout the 1950s, the partnership established its reputation in New England as an engineering practice specializing in water supply and water pollution control. Many early clients in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts remain CDM clients today. During the 1980s, while continuing to build our traditional base of water and wastewater expertise, CDM also made a strategic early entry into the hazardous waste management field, being named as program manager of one of EPA's first major Superfund contracts in 1981. To meet the unique service and contracting requirements of work in the federal sector, we established a wholly owned subsidiary, CDM Federal Programs Corporation, in 1986. Established in 1947, CDM began as a professional partnership of Thomas R. Camp, Herman G. Dresser, and Jack E. McKee and converted to a corporation in 1970. Today, CDM is privately owned and governed by a Board of Directors.
