Solar Reserve – Rice Abandoned Air Base, Rice, California; Technical Lead (2010-14)
Lead Hydrogeologist in the development and implementation of a long-term groundwater
monitoring program for a 150-MW solar thermal power generating project to be
constructed in a remote area of Riverside County. The program is regulated through the
California Energy Commission. Environmental monitoring was designed to: (1) establish pre-
construction Groundwater Level and Quality data, (2) document the project’s water use, and (3)
provide data that could be used to support actions that avoid, minimize, or mitigate impacts to
the Rice Valley groundwater basin storage.
Nextera – Mojave Desert, California; Project Manager and Technical Lead (2009-14)
Project Manager and Lead Hydrogeologist on a project involving the characterization of
groundwater resources at the Genesis Solar Power Generation Facility located near Blythe, CA.
