  Principal Geologist/Environmental Operations Manager

  Underground Storage Tank Programs, ARCO and Shell Oil,Various Sites, California.Operations Director and Program Manager directing site characterization, feasibility studies, and remediation activities at more than 50 underground and aboveground storage tank sites. These projects involved characterization and feasibility study activities, drilling, well installation and sampling, groundwater pumping tests, groundwater modeling, soil vapor extraction tests, air sampling, and health‐risk assessment. Site remediation activities included groundwater extraction and treatment, soil bioremediation and/or disposal, soil vapor extraction, and free product recovery. City of San Mateo Third Avenue Redevelopment Project, San Mateo, CaliforniaProject Manager for site characterization, remediation, and litigation support associated with a former service station obtained by the city under eminent domain proceedings. Site characterization was complicated by complex hydrogeologic conditions caused by an adjacent tidally influenced creek and conversion of the site into a park. Remediation activities included extensive excavation and reconstruction of the creek to remove soils contaminated with waste oil. Provided technical defense for activities the city undertook to investigate and remediate the site in litigation involving nine former property owners, station operators, and fuel suppliers.Redwood Landfill, Novato, CaliforniaProject Manager for the groundwater monitoring program at an operating landfill. Complex hydrogeologic conditions predominated at the site as the result of sediment compaction below the landfill. Used cation/anion data to cost‐effectively identify wells that were screened in both the refuse and underlying sediments, which were removed to prevent cross contamination. Show less
