SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
Dr. Jackson is a Project Manager and Engineer with over 26 years of
experience. He was responsible for the evaluation and
implementation/feasibility of new and innovative environmental remediation
technologies. He has been involved with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program as a
Project Manager. He evaluated a number of technologies suitable for the
treatment of hazardous, mixed, and radioactive wastes. He has provided
quality assurance and contracting oversight on technologies ranging from
vitrification to bioremediation. He has been active on a number of
environmental projects at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Most
recently, he has been serving as a Transportation Certification Official
and Waste Certification Official (TCO/WCO) for disposal of Transuranic
(TRU) waste from the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP) to the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, NM.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
TCO/WCO, BBWI, Idaho Falls, ID
In his role as a TCO/WCO at the AMWTP he was responsible for documenting
and certifying that all payload assemblies met the regulatory requirements
of the NRC, DOE, DOT, EPA, and the New Mexico Department of Environmental
Quality (NMDEQ).
Fellow Engineer, North Wind, Inc. Idaho Falls, ID
Dr. Jackson was a TCO/WCO at the AMWTP.
Dr. Jackson was the Deputy Project Manager for the initial phase of
removing vertical pipe units (VPUs) containing remote handled waste in the
618-10 and 618-11 burial grounds located on the Hanford Reservation. As
such, he evaluated developed technologies capable of removing pipe units
from burial locations and transporting them to a final destination. He
then recommended a suite of technologies that were capable of this task.
These technologies are now being implemented to remove the pipe units.
He developed a conceptual design for an off-gas treatment system for
solids, gases, and vapors that were generated from an in-situ thermal
desorption process at the subsurface disposal area (SDA) of the Radioactive
Waste Management Complex (RWMC) at the INL. He generated an Engineering
Design File and wrote the technology description section of the Preliminary
Design Safety Analysis.
He authored a document that expanded the range of technologies that could
be used to treat the buried wastes at the Pit 9 of the RWMC.
Dr. Jackson authored a field sampling plan for the collection of samples in
the soils surrounding the V-Tanks at the Test Area North (TAN) of the INL.
The plan was well received by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality
(IDEQ) with limited comments prior to its implementation.
Senior Engineer, Portage Environmental Inc., Idaho Falls, ID
Dr. Jackson served as a TCO for the removal of TRU waste from the RWMC for
the 3100 cubic meter project.
He evaluated technologies for the treatment and disposal of buried wastes
in the SDA of the RWMC at the INL. He critiqued an evaluation of cleanup
technologies and provided guidance for the cleanup technology selection for
each pit and trench in the SDA. This lead to an in-depth review of the
Waste Area Group 7 Operable Unit 7-13/14, Comprehensive Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Study (Draft) and all supporting documentation
for submittal to the regulatory agencies.
Dr. Jackson provided a performance evaluation of alternative landfill
covers for landfill closure of the calcining system at the New Waste
Calcining Facility of the Idaho Nuclear Technology Engineering Center
(INTEC) at the INL. He determined whether the calcining system could be
isolated from other active processes in the building and closed to
standards of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. He performed
engineering analysis for tank 106 and ancillary equipment closure
activities at INTEC. He identified methods for sequentially cleaning
vessels and tanks to meet risk-based cleanup standards. Dr. Jackson co-
authored a closure document for submittal to the IDEQ.
Technology Development Manager, Envirocare of Utah, Inc. Salt Lake City, UT
As the Technology Development Manager at the Envirocare of Utah (now Energy
Solutions) mixed-waste treatment facility in Clive, UT, Dr. Jackson was
responsible for improvements to technologies that were used for the
stabilization of matrices contaminated with organic, inorganic, and
radionuclide components. He was also responsible for improvements to the
micro-encapsulation technologies (that used kinetic mixers and polymer
extruders), and he improved the macro-encapsulation process for the
treatment of debris and large lead monoliths. He investigated technologies
including the Commodore Solvated Electron Technology (SET) for the
treatment of organic-contaminated media, Sulfur Polymer
Solidification/Stabilization (SPSS) for the stabilization of mercury
contaminated matrices, and high-vacuum thermal desorption for the removal
of hazardous organic compounds from low-level mixed waste.
Dr. Jackson installed a chemical reagent delivery system for Envirocare's
stabilization technology and upgraded the treatment trains and all air
handling equipment (baghouses, high-efficiency particulate air filters,
pick-up points, etc.). He co-designed and implemented water conservation
techniques including a hot-air sparging system to increase evaporation from
wastewater ponds.
Project Engineer/Project Manager, Science Applications International
Corporation, San Diego, CA/Idaho Falls, ID
Dr. Jackson was responsible for planning, testing, evaluating, and
reporting on the Plasma Hearth Process Technology tests for the treatment
of hazardous, radioactive, and mixed wastes. He developed an EPA Category
III Quality Assurance Project Plan, oversaw sampling of all solid and
liquid matrices, and served as liaison for off-gas sampling contractors.
He was the Project Manager for the demonstration of a number of
technologies under the EPA's SITE program, where he performed sample and
data collection from a variety of different matrices, supervised the
laboratory analysis of these samples, prepared and implemented EPA Category
II QA Project Plans, and completed economic analysis and reports for these
technologies. Technologies evaluated include:
. In-Situ steam/hot air stripping, volatile organic compound
reduction in fluid streams, and a soil washing unit.
. J.R. Simplot anaerobic bioremediation process system for the
treatment of nitro-aromatic compounds. Two SITE program
evaluations were performed. The first evaluation determined the
effectiveness of destroying Dinoseb, a defoliant used in the
farming of peas and potatoes, and the second evaluation was
conducted on TNT- contaminated soils at the Weldon Spring, MO,
abandoned ammunition factory.
. Grouting technology to stop water infiltration of mines to
prevent acid mine drainage. Conducted tests at the Mike Horse
Mine near Lincoln, MT, at the headwaters of the Blackfoot river.
A "losing" stretch of a small stream was found to enter the
mine and discharge with elevated hazardous metals content, at
the mine portal.
. Containment technology that used a frozen barrier to control
plumes from leaking tanks at DOE facilities.
. Vitrification technologies such as In-Situ Vitrification (ISV)
and the Plasma Centrifugal Furnace. Both technologies were
found suitable for hazardous and mixed wastes.
He assisted EPA, Region 10, in the RCRA evaluation of a cement kiln to
obtain an operating permit to incinerate hazardous wastes. He evaluated
the adequacy of the process, the trial burns, and the test results and
reviewed RCRA Part B trial burn plans for two halogen acid furnaces. He
also assisted the State of Utah DEQ in a Part B trial burn of a hazardous
waster rotary kiln system and provided direct oversight of stack-gas
sampling.
Dr. Jackson reviewed a feasibility study of treatment technologies for
remediation of Uranium Mine Tailings Remedial Action Wastes. He also
reviewed and recommended incineration designs for the combustion of
hazardous and mixed wastes at the DOE Mound Facility in Ohio.
Project Engineer, Luz Engineering Corporation, Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Jackson managed engineering projects for Luz Engineering Corporation to
improve the steam generating sections of solar power plants. He improved
the reliability and performance for a 38-MW boiler, increased the
efficiency of three 150 million BTU/hr gas fired superheaters, and designed
and installed an oil heater system. Dr. Jackson designed, installed,
tested, and permitted an incineration unit for the destruction of used heat
transfer fluid. He was responsible for combustion optimization, stack-gas
monitoring, and cycle analysis for plant efficiency upgrades.
Assistant Professor, University of Maryland, College Park, MD
Dr. Jackson served as an Assistant Professor for the Mechanical Engineering
department at the University of Maryland in College Park. He was a
principal investigator of a combustion research laboratory. Projects in
the laboratory included NOx emission reduction, fuel spray analysis, solid
fuel combustion (coal and boron), and power plant efficiency improvement.
He conceived new projects and developed proposals to obtain new research
projects, supervised the work of M.S. and Ph.D. degree candidates, and
taught advance courses in heat transfer, thermodynamics, power plant
systems, fluid dynamics, and instrumentation.
