Key Projects
Project manager of underground storage tank removal program for large manufacturer located in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Managed all phases of the project that included multiple properties
across the region. Eighteen steel and fiberglass tanks ranging from 1,000 to 30,000 gallons were
removed in compliance with North Carolina regulations.
Project geologist involved with Utah’s first “Pay for Performance” cleanup of a MTBE and BTEX
contaminated property. Supervised installation of in-situ aeration wells and vapor extraction piping.
Managed sampling, system maintenance, data evaluation, quarterly reporting and client relations. A
targeted cleanup level of 75% was reached within 22 months of operation and site was closed in 3-1/2
years.
Managed initial siting phase for landfill expansion in Wendover, Nevada. Interacted with state and
federal agencies. Performed subsurface investigation and supervised excavation and drilling
subcontractors. Conducted Native American antiquities investigation with the Bureau of Land
Management.
Investigation and remediation of commercial jetliner crash site. Delineated jet fuel and hydraulic oil
releases across 5-acre property. Remediation involved bi-monthly ploughing with agricultural
equipment and application of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to enhance biodegradation by indigenous
microorganisms.
Geologist involved with investigation of environmental impacts following fire at a dirigible hangar in
Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Hazards included unknown solvents, heavy metals, asbestos, and
radioactive isotopes. Project involved coordination with Nuclear Regulatory Agency to identify isotope
storage areas. Initial investigation was performed with Level B personal protective gear.
Performed industrial hygiene study at liquid propane storage tank manufacturer. Study was initiated
due to paint booth operator health issues. Air monitoring equipment was installed inside workers
protective gear and at key areas throughout the manufacturing facility. Observations of
manufacturing process and worker habits were conducted over a one-week period.
Project geologist at property involving the release of one million (estimated) gallons of petroleum
product. Free product floating on the groundwater was measured at a thickness of 4-feet. Free
product extraction was performed through installation of 2-inch well screen at the groundwater /
product interface utilizing horizontal boring technology.
