New "research" by anti-drilling researchers at Johns Hopkins University that purports to show a connection between fracked shale wells in PA and an increase in radon in PA homes. Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health researchers rather simplistically say that levels of radon in PA homes have been going up since 2004--when the first Marcellus Shale well was drilled in the state. They also say prior to 2004 levels of radon in PA homes was pretty much steady-state--that it did not increase. Since the "big thing" that's happened over the past decade is a lot of Marcellus drilling, voila, must be those nasty frackers are the source.

About the Interaction between water and Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Fe, Mn, Ba Mineralize...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: One of the most important environmental concerns at mining sites is acid mine drainage (DAM), which is formed by the exposure sulfide minerals to air and water. The consequent production of sulfuric acid reduces the quality of water bodies and may allow the solubilization of potentially toxic metals such as Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Fe, Mn and Al. There is a range of laboratory procedures, classified as static and kinetic. Which have been used to understand the acidification and neutralization potencies of a rock through water/rock interaction process. These procedures seek to describe, quantify and predict the compositional changes of the solid and liquid phases in natural systems. The choice of techniques, methods, procedures and protocols requires the understanding of the problem to be solved or mitigated and is related to the specific geochemical and geological characteristics of the site to be analyzed. The elaboration of experimental procedures involves sampling strategies, selection of methodologies, (Accuracy, precision, sensitivity, speed, cost) and thus equipment and other necessary materials. This work presents the main static and kinetic procedures, highlighting its principles, advantages and limitations for selection and application in carbonate rocks rich in sulphide minerals. PH, Acid-Base Accounting and Net Acid Generation (NAG) are the static methods chosen. While the kinetic procedures chosen for the study of the natural enrichment of toxic metals in sulfate carbonate rocks is leaching columns, the Soxhlet system and reaction reactors. To provide more consistent drainage forecasts and hence better plans for the management of The results of different methods should be analyzed together.

Hydraulic Fracturing and Marcellus Shale Gas 11 22 2011Michael Klein
The drilling technique of Hydraulic Fracturing has allowed natural gas producers to extract natural gas economically from deep shale formations. This innovative drilling technique has made enormous quantities of natural gas available in wide areas of the United States from Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New York, Wyoming, North Carolina, and Colorado. The drilling technique of hydraulic fracturing accounts for roughly a quarter of total natural gas production in the United States as cited by the Energy Information Administration. With the increased emphasis on the use of natural gas in our federal energy policy, there will be new regulations, processes, and resources that will be required to mitigate the risks to human health and the environment from this new drilling technique. The presentation discusses the process of hydraulic fracturing; the threats that are posed to human health and the environment, areas in the USA where the process is used with an emphasis on the Marcellus Shale formation, current and new regulations being put into place, and plaintiff challenges to the process.
Evaluating Interface Properties and Predicting Landfill Liner Stability Under...MrEddyAsyrafSyed
Predicting landfill stability and maintaining stable configuration during filling is responsibility of engineers. Majority of failures occurs within waste mass and along landfill liners. This paper will discuss the methods adopted to predict landfill liner stability in terms of interface performances. Interfaces shear strength parameter evaluation for landfill liner systems have been a tedious testing process.

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.
