Mr. Craig has performed the duties of Project Manager for the past 7 years on several of Eberline Services Inc projects; as a manger it is important to realize safety is an important part of every project. He has completed walk downs to review safety issue that might arise during the completion of every individual part of each project. It is important that he understood the project specific safety procedures along with OSHA safety regulations. The other part of the safety procedures is to make sure all parties are aware of the standards and complete these and still maintain a productive work force. Zero accidents is a way of life for the projects that he has managed yet remain on schedule for the project. He has completed safety reviews, walk downs and assists with radiation surveys using Eberline Services’ proprietary Laser-Assisted Ranging and Data System (LARADS) and Global Positioning Environmental Radiological Surveyor (GPERS) tools for CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Company. Eberline Services’ senior scientists use Mr. Craig’s survey data to map remaining radioactive surface contamination, primarily in support of the Soil and Groundwater Program.

He managed and assisted with the survey of 30 miles of railroad tracks for Washington Closure Hanford, providing additional instrument expertise to Eberline Services’ effort to map remaining radioactive surface contamination so the rails could be reused to the greatest extent possible. Assisted with a walkover survey of 16 acres on the site of and property adjacent to a former brine facility owned by a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum. For this project, he utilized the GPERS system to develop maps of the remaining surface radioactive contamination at the site for Arcadis in Kansas. Mr. Craig coordinated administration of and provided fully qualified individuals to perform as Contracted Radiological Control Technicians (CRCTs) to support the increased demand for RCTs required by stimulus- funded projects at Hanford. Specifically, he performed the subcontract’s onsite coordination activities and was responsible for all issues directly related to the acquisition, control, and administration of the CRCTs. Mr. Craig supported Energy Solutions’ contract to perform a Historical Site Assessment and then fully characterize the existing site conditions for the Decommissioning/License Termination Plan, Deconstruction, and complete Green Fielding of the University of Arkansas’ Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor
(SEFOR).
Project Manager. Mr. Craig managed a private property Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) site remediation in Louisiana. As Site Manager, Mr. Craig was responsible for all aspects of the daily operations, including development and oversight of safety and radiological controls such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and posting of radiological areas. He generated daily reports, reviewed all daily documentation generated, and interfaced with the client on a daily basis. He also handled hiring and implementing personnel disciplinary decisions and generated the schedule for planned or unexpected maintenance. He was responsible for purchasing materials to continue operations. For this project, he managed a project staff of six, including construction personnel, RCTs, and health physicists. Mr. Craig managed characterization of a confidential client’s radioactively contaminated lathes and mills using in situ gamma spectroscopy. All accessible surface areas of the equipment were surveyed using both Ortec and Canberra high-purity germanium systems. Because the levels of contamination were so low, the in situ gamma spectroscopy surveys performed by Mr. Craig allowed our client to sort and segregate the waste, minimizing the volume sent to a low-level radioactive waste landfill. Mr. Craig led a team that characterized the level and extent of soil contamination for Area of Concern 492 at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant as a part of the Kentucky Research Consortium for Energy and Environment’s Real-time Characterization Technology Application Demonstration Project. In doing so, Eberline Services demonstrated the use of real-time gamma walkover survey and contamination-mapping technologies to characterize potentially contaminated surface soils. FLOUR Hanford
