EXPERIENCE:
March 2002 to June 2010: Dyncorp Systems & Engineering, Brooks City-Base, San Antonio, TX
Principal Environmental Engineer
Provided technical support to the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) through the
Global Engineering, Integration and Technical Assistance (GEITA) contract. This included project
management, technical document reviews, technical evaluations of projects; Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) facility investigations and corrective actions. The assignment included Carswell
Air Force Base, TX; England AFB, Louisiana; Pope AFB, NC, and others.
Implemented and managed projects involving environmental investigation, remediation, compliance, and
construction projects for industrial solid waste disposal facilities. Duties included project management,
preparing proposals, regulatory interpretation, and interacting with client personnel and other project
staff. Projects included groundwater, soil, soil vapor, and air media. Moreover, projects included design,
installation and evaluation of various environmental remediation technologies (horizontal wells,
groundwater recovery, groundwater treatment, soil vapor extraction, bioventing, airsparging, biosparging,
landfill covers, and others), estimating capital and operating costs of various remediation technologies.
October 2000 to February 2002: Techlaw, Inc., Dallas, TX
Senior Consultant
Provided RCRA program support for the Environmental Protection Agency (Region 6, Dallas) for several
sites at essentially every stage of corrective action process. This includes RCRA inspections, RCRA
Facility Assessment (RFA), RCRA Facility Investigations (RFIs), Stabilization determinations,
Remediation Technology Evaluations, Sampling and Analysis, Corrective Measure Studies (CMSs),
Corrective Measure implementations (CMIs) and development of Statements of Bases. In addition,
provided RCRA Corrective Action (RA) oversight, RCRA permit and Closure Plan support, waste
minimization and pollution prevention planning, cost evaluation/estimation, and unexploded ordinance
(UXO) Support Services.
October 1997 to September 2000: Universe Technologies, Inc, Brooks City-Base, TX
Senior Environmental Engineer
Provided CERCLA corrective action oversight at the Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois. This included
installation of fourteen Winsconsinan monitoring wells, two Illinoian wells, seven geoprobe soil sampling
events, 15 geoprobe groundwater sampling events, and groundwater sampling from thirty piezometers.
Furthermore, provided a detailed report of all activities conducted by the remediation contractors.
Participated in the optimization of a groundwater treatment system to address the contaminant smear zone at Site S-1,
Kelly Air Force Base, TX. Also, performed designed and optimization of Soil Vapor Extraction in the Sump Area and
in the smear zone. Wrote a handbook entitled “the Air Force Remedial Process Optimization Field Procedures and
Quality Assurance Handbook, Version 2, 1999”, used Air Force contractors nationwide.
Performed cost estimates for Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of groundwater treatment systems at
Kelly Air Force Base, TX. This included the systems optimization, systems upgrades (primarily to handle
increased flow capacity), and equipment modernization. Specifically, the O&M of the remedial systems
included groundwater recovery wells, groundwater collection piping and four groundwater treatment
processes, as well as soil vapor recovery and treatment systems.
Performed technical reviews of environmental documents for the Air Force at the Massachusetts Military
Reservation; Carswell Air Force Base, TX; Kadena Air Base, Japan; and the AFCEE Restoration
Consultant Operations Division customers (Air Force Plant 42, Andersen AFB, and others). The reviews
included remediation investigation/feasibility studies, site characterization, remedial design and
construction, groundwater contamination assessment and remediation, soil boring and monitoring well
installations, geotechnical evaluation of landfill capping, asbestos surveys and remedial action, cost
estimates, technical evaluation, and field oversight.
September 1995 to September, 1997: BDM Petroleum Technologies, Bartlesville, OK
Geoscientist
Supervised surface geochemical exploration of hydrocarbons in Osage County, Oklahoma; which
included geochemical analysis of samples for clay content, pH, magnetic susceptibility, and iodine. The
samples were analyzed using Gas Chromatograph, spectrophotometer, and nephlometer. During this
geochemical program, iodine was used as a pathfinder of hydrocarbons. Other methods used included
Radiometric Survey, Helium Method, Carbon-Isotope Ratios, Fluorescence Technique, and Acid
Extraction, Time-Delay, and Groundwater method. In addition, responsibility included analyzing and
interpreting geological data in several areas of exploration and production. Performed other functions,
which included analysis of stratigraphic architecture within a comprehensive petroleum system,
preparation of maps, cross sections, written reports and other presentations.
January 1992 to August 1995 : Advanced Science, Inc., Fernald, OH and Rocky Flats, CO
Geological Engineer
Participated in site characterization and remediation (remediation investigation/Feasibility studies)
of the U.S. department of Energy’s Feed Materials Production Centers in Fernald, Ohio
and Rocky Flats, Colorado. This included remedial investigative, feasibility, and
treatability studies; remedial design; CERCLA investigations; environmental compliance;
remediation construction; and groundwater modeling.
Supervised hydrogeological team in soil and groundwater contamination assessment and
remediation (soil and groundwater remedial systems), soil boring and monitoring well
installations, slug/aquifer testing and remedial system design and construction.
Participated in writing of interpretative reports.
February 1984 to August 1989: HydroQuebec International-SNC, Montreal, Canada
Geotechnical Engineer
Supervised final geotechnical feasibility studies of a dam on the Niandan River, New Guinea.
Supervised geotechnical teams in soil mechanics, bedrock weathering, and stratigraphic studies; also,
performed laboratory soils testing for engineering properties (Atterberg limit, triaxial, compaction, shear
strength consolidation, permeability and others); and participated in data interpretation and reporting.
Performed construction and materials (concrete and asphalt) testing for different projects in Montreal
(Canada) and surrounding areas. The assignment included concrete testing in the field for air content,
slump, temperature, and casting cylinders for compressive strength determination. In addition, I
performed density tests at the project sites. Performed foundations designs and slop stability analyses;
also participated in data interpretation and reporting.
1982 to 1984: ALCOA MINING, GUINEA, West Africa
Mining Geologist
Directed detailed exploration of bauxite deposit in Sangaredi, Guinea. In addition, directed geological
teams in drilling, sampling, and mapping areas of the bauxite orebody containing lense-like clay, which
was creating mining and metallurgical problems. Moreover, directed mining reclamation for the area
already mined; this included backfilling excavation, decontamination of soil, soil vapor, surface water,
and groundwater; landscaping, and planting trees in the reclaimed areas.
