Qualifications

I spent the first six years of my professional career at a small

environmental engineering consulting firm in the foothills of Golden. It

was my goal to provide site specific, pragmatic solutions for environmental

and subsurface resource problems. I supported my clients with applied

consulting services in the design, application, and communication of goal-

oriented hydrologic, geologic, environmental, and engineered solutions. The

foundation of my problem solving approach was the collection and

quantitative and qualitative analysis of site-specific data. I am very

comfortable applying established engineering practices as well as 'state of

the art' quantitative analysis techniques.

Project Engineering

A brief list of my project engineering duties and experience includes:

. Technical writing, researching, and production of closure and post

closure documents;

. Developing remediation/control systems;

. Training new employees in office and field procedures;

. Performing site specific health risk assessment and evaluations;

. Developing standard operating procedures;

. Data analysis and evaluation;

. Performing Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments and site

characterizations;

. Assuring all reports and permits comply with all local, state, and

federal regulations; and

. Working with representatives of state and federal agencies.

Field Engineering

A brief list of my field engineering duties and experience includes:

. Installation and maintenance of ground water monitoring wells;

. Construction oversight and management;

. Collecting ground water and soil samples;

. Quality control and quality assurance; and

. Assuring field procedures are followed and ordering change orders when

needed.

Project Management

A brief list of my project engineering duties and experience includes:

. Cost versus benefit analyses;

. Subcontractor organization and management;

. Leading office staff through technical decisions and report

preparation;

. Tracking and modifying project budgets;

. Managing the efforts and work load of staff technicians and verifying

their results;

. Providing technical and managerial support for numerous projects at

once; and

. Communicating with clients to define the scope of work, develop the

optimal path forward, work through difficulties encountered, and to

present project deliverables.

Projects Completed

As a project engineer, my responsibilities spanned all aspects of site

evaluation and/or remediation projects from "cradle to grave". I have

helped successfully close a RCRA facility by assessing the environmental

impact of contaminants found in soil and ground water in the design of goal

oriented subsurface investigative programs that comply with regulatory

standards and guidance on the federal, state, and local level. I applied

multiple aspects of civil and environmental engineering while developing

the conceptual design for site remediation and closure strategies. At

Leppert Associates my efforts have been focused around remediating

contaminated soil and ground water for industrial facilities. Typical

projects involve: site investigation; remediation alternatives search,

development, and implementation; preparing, scheduling, managing, and

overseeing field events; and certifying project completion. Examples of

completed projects and tasks are below.

Quebec, Canada - My client in Canada had a large DNAPL plume migrating off

his property threatening to contaminate a local water supply. My job was

to delineate the nature and extent of the contamination, determine an

optimal remediation alternative, design and install the remediation system.

Specific tasks I performed include:

. Worked with geologists in Canada to develop a detailed understanding

of the underlying soils;

. Developed a three dimensional conceptual model to show the extent of

the DNAPL plume;

. Organized field events to chase the plume to verify the extent of the

DNAPL plume;

. Developed and continually updated cost estimates, schedules, budgets,

and invoices to track the field progress;

. Developed standard operating procedures, sampling and analysis plans,

and health and safety plans;

. Made quick decisions with little over-site, updated plans, schedules,

and budgets when difficulties arose;

. Performed a detailed remediation alternatives search and analysis;

. Developed a unique hydraulic control system coupled with a pump and

treat system;

. Fully developed the design specifications for the chosen remediation

system which included: well locations, pumping demands, piping size

and network, new building placement and sizes, tank locations and

sizes, road and utility line placement, and piping connections to

buildings, wells, and tanks;

. Worked hand in hand with professional engineers to develop a site-

specific treatment train; and

. Developed a PowerPoint presentation for a meeting with the Client and

the Canadian Department of Environmental Quality to present the

results of the site investigation.

Northern Ohio - My client needed to excavate the top two feet of soil from

his RCRA property, install an infiltration and exposure cap, and install a

ground water monitoring network. Specific tasks I performed include:

. Developed tools to track the volume of dirt removed from the site, the

trucks hauling the soil, sub-contractor hours and invoicing, and track

the project budget and schedule;

. Traveled to the property to verify the excavation depth, oversee the

cap installation, and verify the quality of materials;

. Construction management and quality control;

. Lead health and safety meetings, managed site health and safety and

quality assurance/quality control;

. Made on-the-spot changes to the cap's surface when errors were found

in the design;

. Planned and oversaw the installation of ground water monitoring wells

and sample collection;

. Verified that the contamination was removed by statistically comparing

background and historic data with new data; and

. Wrote a Post Closure Plan and Certification of Closure report, which

were approved by a P.E. and the Ohio EPA.

Arkansas - My client needed to re-engineer their existing surface water

controls. Specific tasks I performed include:

. Design - Conceptual to 90% design of surface water management, barrier

wall, drains, and oil/water separators;

. Development of erosion control techniques;

. Developing internal request for proposals, and responding to Federal

and commercial RFPs;

. Development of hydraulic controls to manage surface water during flood

events; and

. Produced bid documents, design drawings, and construction plans.

New Jersey - My client operated an active hazardous waste incinerator and

transport facility. The site experienced several containment failures and

spills. Some areas of the site needed to be closed, some areas required

remediation, and many systems needed updating. Specific tasks I performed

include:

. Performed site specific health risk assessment and evaluations;

. Performed geophysical studies, including boring log interpretation and

developing geologic cross-sections;

. Designed and performed pump tests/hydraulic stress tests to determine

soil properties;

. Coordinated and managed subcontractors before, during, and after field

activities; and

. Communicated with clients to define the scope of work, develop the

optimal path forward, work through difficulties encountered, and

presented project deliverables.
