Prepared materials for deposition and advised counsel as to technical and regulatory conditions.
  
  
• Provided litigation support as hydrogeologist to major electronics manufacturing firm legal counsel in actions related to alleged impacts by migration of VOC contaminated groundwater. Evaluated historical data and consulting reports for all sites involved and developed a conceptual site model of contaminant transport pathways from the clients property to the area of alleged impact. Designed and prepared display/presentation materials, and presented formally to opposing counsel and their consultant. Successfully argued that client's plume had not impacted the adjacent site.
  
  
• Assisted City of Pittsburgh legal counsel with litigation related to discovery of contaminated soil during geotechnical investigations performed for roadway and overpass construction.

• Lead Hydrogeologist and Project Manager on EPA Superfund RI/FS project at the Fort Ord Landfills for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Primary technical responsibility for development of site conceptual model, field investigation, risk assessment, designs for interim and final remedial measures, a Quarterly Monitoring Program, a Health and Safety Program, a Quality Assurance Program, coordination with other consultants, and participation in quarterly Technical Review Committee meetings. This is a former landfill site, with VOCs the primary contaminants of concern. The RI included sampling of groundwater, soil, and soil gas. The Phase I field investigation included installation of 12 new groundwater monitoring wells. Soil was sampled in 16 borings and in 6 test pits. Samples from all media were analyzed for heavy metals, VOCs, aromatic hydrocarbons, and other priority pollutants. Lead Consultant on environmental assessment to evaluate impacts resulting from operation of two Bay Area fossil fuel-fired electric power plants. The purpose of the study was to assess potential environmental liabilities associated with purchase and future operation of the power plants.
  
  
• Lead Hydrogeologist and Project Manager on major RI/FS at an electronics manufacturing facility, an NPL site overseen by the RWQCB, in Palo Alto, California. All work conducted in accordance with CERCLA. The site was greater than 36 acres in size, had multiple source areas and eight VOC-impacted aquifer units. Personally responsible for project scoping, a site investigation, quarterly groundwater monitoring, a Baseline Health Risk Assessment, hydrogeologic modeling, closure of several hazardous waste management units, development of interim and final remedial measures, agency negotiation, community meetings, coordination with consultants for a PRP group working at adjacent sites, and development of final site cleanup requirements. Site geology and hydrogeology are very complex, with faulting, geologic discontinuities, and folded stratigraphic beds. Five source-specific site investigations were conducted. Field activities included drilling 60 wells up to 400+ feet through seven identified water-bearing zones and areas of known chlorinated solvent, VOC, and metals contamination. Up to six drill rigs operated on-site simultaneously for 4 months. Primary responsibility for technical and administrative management of the job. Spent 18 months working in the client's office for the project.
  
  
• Lead Hydrogeologist on Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment (HHERA) conducted at a major oil refinery in Contra Costa County. The project involved evaluation of ecological and human risks associated with impacts to soil, groundwater, and tidal sloughs along San Francisco Bay from 31 solid waste management units (SWMUs) and Areas of Concern (AOCs). Chemicals of concern include metals, fuel hydrocarbons, VOCs, and SVOCs. The project is being overseen by the EPA and CVRWQCB.
