EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Mr. Kramer s attended University of Cincinnati from 1980 through 1985. He worked in the

geology department library as a student helper from 1980 through 1985. Nearing graduation, his

mentor, Professor Paul Edwin Potter, strongly suggested Peace Corps Volunteer as an option to

the mid-80’s low oil prices and the (oil) recession.

Mr. Kramer enlisted and was accepted into the United States Peace Corps. His initial assignment

to Haiti was changed due the 1985 Haiti Coup; resulting in reassignment to Fiji, South Pacific in

August 1985.

1 Obtained managed budgeted numerous contaminated aquifer projects for Mobil Oil (PAH,

Bunker C) contaminated site adjacent to Ship Canal, Ballard Washington. Utilized

bioremediation and supervised installation of 28 groundwater monitoring wells in silt and sandy

sediments within which heaving was an impediment. Determined groundwater flow direction.

Supervised managed and budgeted numerous RI/FS studies for perched and non perched aquifers

contaminated by BTEX, LNAPL and DNAPL

Rainier volacaniclastic sediments at 2.5 foot intervals. Designed and conducted 72 hour aquifer

test. Utilized Schramm Roto Rig and bentonite mud drilling techniques.

4 1999. Everett Washington Landfill. Supervised and conducted installation of 28 groundwater

monitoring wells. Screened downhole for H2S, methane and CO2. One exploration emitted

methane for three hours. Flagged wind direction alerted drillers directional flee path.
