Managed permitting, construction/installation of remediation system concurrent with City and State schedules and in concordance with their individual specifications.
Designed, constructed, installed and/or managed numerous turnkey soil and groundwater cleanup systems for remediation of petroleum release sites in Ohio and Kentucky. Systems include: free product recovery, soil vapor extraction, dual-phase extraction, in-situ groundwater sparging, ex situ air stripping and both liquid and vapor phase carbon adsorption.
Performed Engineering oversight for U.S. EPA Region IV during the repair and replacement of a flexible membrane liner and the installation of a drainage collection system for the leachate treatment containment system of the Maxie Flats mixed-waste landfill. Responsible for concurrence and adherence to NRC, RCRA and construction design specifications during the remediation of the landfill.
Remediation Oversight and inspection for U.S. EPA Region IV, during remedial construction of a clay cap and storm water control systems at an aluminum salts landfill. Release of ammonia required level C protection of workers during construction.
Directed soil sampling and field screening activities at 7 areas, 13 hot spots at the DOE Miamisburg Mound site. Characterized site for radiologic and hazardous contaminants utilizing GeoProbe and Track rig. Prepared job safety and health analyses (JSHAs) and HASP modifications for task specific field operations. Primary author of characterization report.
