KEY PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Client Confidential, Houston, Texas
Mr. Danhof acted as a Health and Safety Specialist at a client's office
during an employee transition over a four month period. Mr. Danhof oversaw
more than ten projects across the United States, including four sites with
active remediation systems. Duties performed by Mr. Danhof over the four
month period included oversight of environmental consultants in several
states, calculation of reserve estimates for each project, and submittal of
several consultant reports to various state agencies.
Client Confidential, Kilgore, Texas
Mr. Danhof is the project manager for the remediation and closure of a
legacy site in Kilgore, Texas. The site is a complex assessment and
remediation project with an adjacent stream and associated eological
concerns. Mr. Danhof's knowledge of Texas Risk Reduction Program rules and
negotiations with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality allowed
submittal of an Affected Property Assessment Report without an ecological
risk assessment and without the need for remediation at the site. Site
closure is scheduled for 2009.
Garland Creosoting, Longview, Texas
Mr. Danhof was assigned lead engineer for the design, installation, and
startup of a groundwater intercepting system for a superfund site
contaminated with creosoting compounds. The system was installed to
prevent creosoting compounds flowing into a near-by creek. Mr. Danhof's
duties included piping and treatment equipment sizing, generation of
process related engineering drawings, assisting in the preparation of a
cost estimate, preparing equipment specifications that were included in
procurement packages, engineering oversight during system installation,
preparation of an operations and maintenance manual, and oversight of
ongoing system operations.
Client Confidential, Somerville, Texas
Mr. Danhof was the lead engineer for the design of a creosote recovery
system for an operating railroad tie treating facility. The system is
designed to recover creosote from groundwater for re-use in the tie
treating process. Mr. Danhof's duties include piping and treatment
equipment sizing, generation of process related engineering drawings,
preparing equipment specifications that will be included in procurement
packages, and preparation of an operations and maintenance manual.
Client Confidential, Manalapan, New Jersey
Mr. Danhof was lead engineer for the design of a twenty well groundwater
and soil vapor extraction/bioventing system for a gasoline plume. Mr.
Danhof's duties included piping and treatment equipment sizing, generation
of process related engineering drawings, assisting in the preparation of a
cost estimate, and preparing equipment specifications that were included in
procurement packages.
Kelly Air Force Base, Bioslurper
Mr. Danhof evaluated the performance of a malfunctioning bioslurping
remediation system. The bioslurping system consisted of six bioslurping
wells, a liquid ring vacuum pump, a vapor liquid separator, a transfer
pump, an oil/water separator, and a thermal oxidizer. Mr. Danhof
determined that the liquid ring vacuum pump was undersized and that the
piping for the gravity flow lines was undersized and not at a proper slope.
Based upon Mr. Danhof's recommendations the Bioslurper was retrofitted
with a new vacuum blower and re-piped.
Kelly Air Force Base, Site E-3
Mr. Danhof was lead engineer for the design, installation, and startup of a
fifty well groundwater and soil vapor extraction/bioventing system for a
chlorinated hydrocarbon plume. Mr. Danhof's duties included piping and

equipment specifications that were included in procurement packages,
engineering oversight during system installation, and preparation of an
operations and maintenance manual.
Client Confidential, Navasota, Texas
Mr. Danhof assisted in the preparation of a corrective action plan (CAP)
for a Diamond Shamrock gasoline station in Navasota, Texas. The CAP

water recovery and treatment system and soil vapor extraction and treatment
system. Mr. Danhof assisted in the calculation of the sizes and materials
of construction for the piping. Mr. Danhof assisted in the sizing of
several pieces of treatment equipment including a vacuum blower, a thermal
oxidizer, an oil/water separator and liquid phase carbon adsorbing vessels.
Mr. Danhof assisted in the generation of engineering drawings for the

instrumentation diagram (P&ID), and a wellhead construction detail diagram.
Additionally, Mr. Danhof met with several equipment vendors and received
quotations for the components of the treatment system. Mr. Danhof also
assisted a project estimator determine the cost for the construction of the
system.
Client Confidential, Hercules, California
Mr. Danhof assisted in the design, work plan, installation, and startup of
an eighty-eight well groundwater and soil remediation system, which was
designed to remediate two gasoline plumes at a decommissioned refinery in
Hercules, California. Mr. Danhof's duties included piping and treatment
equipment sizing, generation of process-related engineering drawings,
assisting in the preparation of a cost estimate, preparing equipment
specifications that were included in procurement packages, inspection of
equipment prior to shipment to ensure it met specifications, and

Awty Tract, Houston, Texas
Mr. Danhof prepared the RAP, calculated the Tier 2 Protective Concentration
Levels (PCLs), and prepared the APAR addendum for a 45.5-acre property in
Houston, Texas. Awty Tract was formerly a metals foundry which was being

Exceedence (PCLE) zones for various metals and benzene. The estimated
project budget was $2,000,000.
Client Confidential, Portland, Texas
Mr. Danhof was the project manager. The Portland Release site has a large,
light non-aqueous phase (LNAPL) plume, an MTBE plume, and several soil
impacts. Currently, the responsible party is in negotiations to purchase
the affected properties and a product skimming system is active on the
site. The closure strategy for this site is continued operation of the
skimming system to remove the LNAPL to the extent practicable, define a
PMZ, deed record the affected properties, and achieve a Remedy Standard B
closure. Closure for this project is expected in 2010.
