12, "Phase I ESAs best done without suggestions", Co-authored

with Debrah Harrington, P.E.

I have been responsible for multiple thousand environmental projects

ranging from simple Phase I ESAs to more complex site characterizations and

evaluations of downtown areas of cities and industrial properties. The

following list was chosen to provide a comfortable breadth and width to my

experience and capabilities in a short amount of space. Please note that

the list is not all-inclusive.

List of Project Experience:

> Contamination Screening Evaluation Reports for SR 429 Extension and

"Maitland Boulevard Extension" projects in Orange County, Florida for

the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority. Two contamination

site screening reports that significantly overlapped, encompassing

over approximately 50 miles of alternative roadway corridors through

vacant, agricultural, and heavy industrialized areas. Concerns

included historic landfills, historic and existing gas stations, and

over 60 current/historic plant nurseries. A high number of landowner

interviews provided significant contamination information within these

projects. Recommendations were made for further investigation of

numerous areas of potential concern.

> Phase II ESA and site remediation for 50+ acre Department of Defense

facility in Asheville, North Carolina. Site was found to have had a

historic landfill permit for a single calendar year - no-one

associated with site knew anything about a landfill. Performed

detailed Phase II ESA to identify areas of "resin" impacted soils and

groundwater contamination around 500,000 square foot site building

formerly used to manufacture automobile mufflers. Performed Phase III

groundwater contaminant characterization around on-site permitted

landfill overlooked by seller's consultants. Identified 13 chemical

constituents of concern in on-site groundwater; seller's consultant

did not perform proper analyses for constituents of concern and

"missed" the contamination. Excavation type remediation removed

multiple hundreds of cubic yards of "resin" contaminated soils.

Property was purchased by client at a $5 million reduction and

exclusion of the contaminated landfill area.

> Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study for an Aiken, South

Carolina electrical high voltage testing equipment, fuses, and

insulators manufacturing facility. The site included two sludge

settling ponds, a former cyanide treatment system for treating

discharge to the settling ponds, a 5,000-gallon AST related

Trichloroethene spill, and a former drum storage area. Performed

extensive environmental drilling, sampling, data analyses, report

preparation, and negotiations with the South Carolina Department of

Health and Environmental Concerns. Site was removed from the South

Carolina CERCLA listing.

> Phase I and Phase II ESAs on approximately 10,000 acres of mainly

agricultural property overlying a potable groundwater source actively

being pumped by Southwest Florida Water Management District. Two

historic landfills were found that previous consultants had missed.

Phase II ESAs of the landfill areas did not reveal any significant

contamination issues and the property was successfully transferred to

Southwest Florida Water Management District.

> Interstate 4 Contamination Screening Evaluation Report. Conducted

environmental contamination screening for potential contamination

sites along an approximately 45 mile stretch of I-4 from SR 528 in

Orange County to SR 472 in Volusia County, Florida for the Florida

Department of Transportation (FDOT). This highway corridor stretched

through downtown Orlando and had over 500 potential contamination

sites. Contamination risk ratings and recommendations for further

studies were provided to FDOT.

> Underground and aboveground fuel storage tank upgrades for Southern

New England Telephone. Prepared tanks specifications, construction

management, and oversight of tank removals and installations.

Obtained soil and groundwater samples and various required tank and

dewatering permits. Prepared technical tank removal and installation

reports and as-builts plans for tank installations and removals.

Petroleum contaminated soils management including soils screening,

excavation oversight, confirmation sampling, soils disposal

characterization, hazardous materials transporting, and disposal at

Southern New England Telephone facilities where soil contamination was

encountered, in association with underground emergency generator tank

upgrades.

> Vapor extraction system installation, monitoring and maintenance at a

New York City Police Department with gasoline vapor intrusion issues

from a former leaking underground fuel storage tank. The logistics of

this project were difficult, drilling in a busy and narrow alley, and

then the VE system had to be placed on the roof of a 6-story building

using a crane in downtown Manhattan.

> Air sparging, vapor extraction, and groundwater pump and treat

remediation system installation, maintenance, and monitoring.

Obtained environmental wastewater and air discharge permits.

Performed construction management and As-Built specification

verification for extensive million dollar groundwater remediation

system installed on the ground floor of a multi-level New York City

municipal parking and vehicle repair facility. Maintained, monitored,

and performed the reporting for this system.

> Trouble shooting and remediation system repair at a New York City

Police vehicle repair facility. The groundwater remediation system

was not performing to specifications. Additional site investigation

revealed that one of the groundwater recovery wells had apparently

been installed in the trunk of a buried vehicle, reducing available

groundwater flow! System alterations were made, a new well was

installed, and the groundwater pumping specifications were met.

> Phase I and II ESAs, site petroleum soil contamination

characterization and remediation at a large Phoenix, Arizona

electrical component manufacturing facility as part of client's sales

agreement. Performed fast turn-around on site remediation which

satisfied buyer's consultants and lender enabling the property

transfer.

> Phase I and II ESAs for two manufacturing facilities in Puerto Rico.

Phase I ESAs revealed potential for environmental contamination

impacts at both facilities. Phase II ESAs revealed no detectable soil

or groundwater contamination impacts. One facility was expanded to

encompass adjoining property and a second, existing facility was

purchased, more than doubling the size of existing operations.

> Historic evaluation of abandoned foundry in Shelton, CT. Phase I ESA

and additional historic research performed prior to sampling for

contamination concerns relative to the City of Shelton acquiring this

"Brownfield" type property prior to the Federal Brownfield Laws. Only

low levels of metals contamination were detected and the property was

acquired.

> Performed Level C PCB remediation activities at United Technologies,

Inc. facilities in Connecticut. Removed PCB containing oil and

performed confirmation sampling within various large machining

equipment, often with confined space entry necessary.

> Performed landfill characterization and assessment for former Pyle's

Pit Landfill in Altamont, Florida. Developer client wished to develop

a medical complex on the only remaining open land in the site

vicinity. Historic documentation revealed some 50 drums of toxic

chemicals buried within the landfill. Extensive document research and

interviews were performed along with regulatory agency meetings and

negotiations. The drums were not formally identified or documented on

the portion of the landfill to be developed - it is highly suspected

that the drums fall under a portion of landfill previously developed

by a local municipality, down-gradient of the site. Per the Florida

Department of Environmental Protection, Client was permitted to

develop property without any liability related to the drums or

landfill. (Economic issues have stopped the site development process

at this time.)

> Asbestos. Performed asbestos pre-removal inspections and "clearance"

air sampling for Atlanta Public Schools.

> Lead-based Paint. Managed asbestos and lead-based paint assessments

for commercial and residential facilities including sampling the paint

and soils surrounding the structure.

> NRCS Assessments. Performed and managed the preparation of multiple

NRCS Property Acquisition Assessments for the Natural Resource

Conservation Service in multiple states.

> NEPA Assessments. Performed NEPA assessments for medical facilities

seeking federal grants in Atlanta and southern Georgia. Historical,

Demographics, Contamination, Public Utilities, and other sources

investigated to determine impact of proposed medical developments.

These projects obtained Findings of No Significant Impacts and have

gone forward with the development procedures.

> Gas Station Assessments and Remediation projects.

> Preliminary geotechnical evaluation to identify areas of limestone

outcropping, unsuitable soils, pits, mines, and landfills for a large

study area encompassing sections of Citrus, Hernando, Levy, and Marion

Counties, Florida. Geotechnical evaluation performed as a preliminary

study to aid in roadway alignment selection for extension of the

"Suncoast Parkway".

> Coordinated geotechnical exploration project for expansion of Orlando

International Airport (Florida). Designed boring and laboratory

analyses plans for approximately 1,000 soil borings, most between 30

and 50 feet in depth. Visually verified laboratory soil test results.

Coordinated drafting and report preparation, which detailed the

availability of approximately 7 million cubic yards of available fill

material.

> Preliminary "Fatal Flaws" analysis for the Florida Overland Express

high speed rail line extending from Miami to Orlando to Tampa,

Florida. Soil Conservation Service Soil Maps, USGS Geological

Publications, Aerial Photographs, and Quadrangle Maps were assessed to

determine areas unsuited for railway construction.
