Surface Impoundments Operable Unit (SIOU) Radioactive Pond Closure, Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, Project Manager. As a subcontractor to URS Inc., hired to support radioactive pond restoration work at this DOE facility. This project entailed: minimize cost by engineering the optimum rock size to grout fill design; filling ponds 3513 and 3524 with rock & grout material; preventing contamination spread; ensuring work controls were followed; and addressing health and safety issues. Successfully closed SIOU ponds in a manner that met two different client milestone dates, helping the URS client to receive over $4M in paid incentives. Overall, strategically placed over 40,000 tons of rock fill and over 15,000 cubic yards of grout. Forklift Compliance Services at the Oak Ridge DOE Facilities, Oak Ridge, TN, Engineering Support Services. Subcontracted by WSMS, WESKEM LLC, and NAVARRO, provided professional engineering services to ensure various forklift attachments met OSHA requirements for use. Work involved obtaining technical data on attachments such as personnel lifts, drum grabs, forklift booms, drum turners, scales, pressurized drum punches, etc. as necessary to obtain compliant data tags for attachment use. Some of the forklift manufactures would not provide data tags for the attachments, which then required Professional Engineer safety evaluation with concurrence for compliant use of a given attachment.

Surface Impoundments Operable Unit (SIOU) Restoration, Oak Ridge National Laboratories

(ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, Project Manager. Representing Roy F Weston, Inc. as a subcontractor to Radian International, LLC, hired to perform $1.2M of the original $9M SIOU Restoration Project at the ORNL, DOE facility. This project entailed removal of radioactive source sediments and treating/packaging the waste to meet Nevada Test Site (NTS) waste acceptance criteria, and transporting the materials to NTS. Responsibilities included: assisting with development/approval of design documents required prior to field activities; retrieving through dredging process the source sediments from the impoundment’s; meeting a stringent sub-impoundment removal criteria of 0.1 to 0.2 feet; investigate means of cost reductions, such as modifying dredge retrieval system to a less expensive unit; ensuring contract specification and flow down documents were being followed; and addressing health and safety issues. Successfully closed SIOU pond 3524 in a timely manner that met a Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC PBI milestone date tied to this project. Lower East Fork Poplar Creek (LEFPC) Restoration, Y-12, Oak Ridge, TN, Site Supervisor. Representing Roy F. Weston, was Site Supervisor for a $1.4 million LEFPC - Phase II cleanup project at the Y-12, DOE facility. This HAZWOPER remediation project entailed excavating, pre- treating (when deemed applicable), and disposing of soil contaminated with greater than 400 ppm mercury and restoring those areas with backfill, topsoil, and appropriate vegetation. Overall, approximately 30,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed and replaced. Streambank and wetland replacement was also implemented. Responsibilities included: ensuring the contract specifications were being met and properly implemented; continuously upgrading operations to minimize labor and cost; enforcing Health and Safety requirements (Roy F. Weston won the MK- Ferguson of Oak Ridge Company quarterly Health and Safety Award); ensuring proper maintenance and operations of all equipment; and managing Union workers.

ORNL. Responsibility included: monitoring and selection of storms (or floods) to be sampled; supervising collection and laboratory processing of samples; determining optimum sample selection from storm hydrograph analysis; maintaining field equipment and laboratory facilities supplies; developing laboratory procedures for determining contaminate to grain-size-fraction relationships; developing standard operation procedures for field and lab work; reporting results; training field/laboratory team members; and enforcing safety regulations. Due to the small watershed size and short travel times, this was a time sensitive task which usually required a quick response from 8 on-call employees per storm sampling event.

Sediment Transport Modeling & Report Support, Engineering Sciences Division of ORNL, Oak Ridge, TN. Subcontracted through UT, Knoxville. Collection and development of a comprehensive database for the massive input files necessary for effective modeling of hydrologic, sediment, and contaminate transport processes in the DOE ORNL watershed. Derived many sensitive parameters (such as erosion coefficients and backwater profiles) necessary for proper calibration of forecasting models (namely HSPF and a HEC-6 program modified to handle contaminate as well as sediment transport processes). Assisted with, reviewed and evaluated calibration efforts to help ensure simulated results properly modeled the study area. The calibrated model was used to forecast watershed processes during extreme 100-year+ frequency floods. Human and environmental risk associated with off-site contaminate transport was then evaluated to help determine if immediate corrective action was necessary. Also developed Sediment Transport Data Assessment Report that analyzed laboratory results from four years of storm sampling at eight sites within a watershed. Report included Conceptual Models illustrating trends and correlations of sediment and contaminate processes from a DOE watershed containing a superfund site. These models helped identify environmental problem areas associated with contaminated sediment transport during storm events to help target areas that required remedial actions. Erosion/Sediment Control Manual and Short Course Development for TDOT and TDEC. Funded by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), developed a manual and short training course on erosion and sediment control guidelines useful for construction inspection personnel. The manual and course focused on the proper design, maintenance, common problems, and solutions of commonly used erosion and/or sediment control practices. The manual and course provided technical assistance to inspection and regulatory personnel to assist them in evaluating adequacy of engineering designs and installed erosion/sedimentation control structures. For approximately 15 years until revised, this manual was used by the TDOT inspection personnel and as a Civil and Environmental Engineering Department text at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
