POSITIONS:

Since 1978 I have been responsible for securing funding for, organizing, directing and conducting mine reclamation and other energy and environmental research programs. My current responsibilities focus on acid mine drainage research and technology transfer programs relating to the coal and power generation industries.

In addition to my research roles I have served in a regulatory capacity with government agencies. I have developed regulatory and R&D policy and I currently serve on both state and federal policy advisory committees focusing on reclamation and acid mine drainage. I am presently providing technical support to USEPA toward developing new regulatory guidance for the use of coal combustion wastes in coal mines.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT:

Since assuming the directorship of the West Virginia Water Research Institute, it has become one of the strongest research centers at West Virginia University. Over the past 15 years we have developed and managed research projects worth roughly $60M. Funding has been generated from a variety of federal agencies: Office of Surface Mining, EPA, USGS, Bureau of Mines, USDOE as well as state and industry sponsors. A detailed summary of sponsored projects is available on request. The Center has a full-time staff of seven.
