Senior Project Manager for a major boat manufacturer in Manatee County, Florida. Volatile organic compounds were suspected in groundwater. A contamination assessment was performed with oversight by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Up to 50% acetone in groundwater was discovered beneath the facility. Subsurface investigation activities were performed in Level B personal protective equipment. The groundwater plume was delineated and a remedial action pilot study was performed. The pilot study revealed that the selected remedial alternative was applicable to site conditions.
Project Manager for a dry cleaner facility project in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Groundwater beneath the facility was determined to be impacted by the solvent tetrachloroethene (common drycleaner spot remover). The resulting groundwater investigation found impacts to neighboring properties and the regional drinking water aquifer. Remediation involved injections of sodium permanganate which greatly reduced solvent concentrations.
Consultant for numerous Phase I/Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs). Sites ranged from small commercial properties, large commercial/industrial facilities, and small to large undeveloped and agricultural sites up to 20,000 acres in size. Performed many Phase I/Phase II ESAs for the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
Consultant for a land developer in Collier/Lee Counties, Florida. One project entailed the performance of 80 Phase I ESAs in 60 days. Many other projects were performed on agricultural properties and wooded properties.
Senior Project Manager on several RCRA facilities including two sites in Georgia. Contaminates were primarily solvents and metals.
Senior Project Manager for several sites where Risk Based Corrective Actions were performed utilizing the benzo- a-pyrene equivalents conversion table and the TRPH fractions calculator.
