Newtown, Pennsylvania, United States

• Provided technical expertise to EHS Support’s clients along a north-western U.S. River in support of their cost allocation positions and evaluated the fate and transport of contaminants from historic operations to river sediment• Developed an estimate of product combusted by an accidental fire based on evaluation of non-combustible chemicals, product recovery, and product remaining at the site; and estimated the composition and quantity of emissions from the combusted product based on literature-derived emission factors and site-specific data.

Newtown, Pa

• Evaluated sediment chronologies derived from radioisotope depth profiles to date mercury contamination and analyzed spatial distribution of mercury contamination in river sediment to evaluate natural recovery and potential remedial locations in north-eastern U.S. River• Evaluated the fate and transport of contaminants from historic operations to a north-western U.S. River

Newtown, Pa

• Managed and provided technical support, including the development of a site conceptual model, examination of timing issues, and review of site data and documents, in a case involving polychlorinated biphenyls in a north-central U.S. river• Developed an allocation based on the assessment of potential releases of various contaminants via groundwater discharge, soil erosion, and spills from sites into a north-eastern U.S. River and comparison with the distribution of contaminants in river sediment

Princeton, Nj

• Managed and provided technical support, including the development of a site conceptual model, examination of timing issues, and review of site data and documents, in an insurance cost recovery case at a bulk storage terminal in the southwestern U.S.• Modeled the transport of selected contaminants of concern through the vadose zone and groundwater to calculate groundwater concentrations at the downgradient edge of several contaminated soil areas at a federal facility in the southeastern U.S• Developed a hydrologic model for a vernal pool to analyze the interaction between surface and groundwater around a proposed well field in the northeastern U.S.• Modeled the transport of petroleum hydrocarbons through the vadose zone to determine when releases commenced at a pipeline in the southeastern U.S. and at a bulk storage terminal in the southwestern U.S.• Managed groundwater modeling investigation to support permitting of a new wastewater treatment plant for a facility in northeastern U.S.• Developed a conceptual remedial design and cost estimate for a groundwater treatment system at an industrial site in the north-central U.S.• Reviewed historical operations at facilities potentially impacting a water supply well in the eastern U.S.• Reviewed remedial alternatives for groundwater treatment at a municipal solid waste landfill in the eastern U.S.• Evaluated historical operations and assisted in developing a cost allocation framework for a settlement mediation involving perchlorate contamination in soil and groundwater at a former manufacturing facility in the southwest U.S.

Montpelier, Vt

• Participated in the research for potentially responsible parties through review of historical aerial photography, public records, and peer-reviewed journals; the development of a cost allocation based on a sediment transport model and a remedial design plan; and the production of demonstrative exhibits for a global settlement mediation involving polychlorinated biphenyls in a north-central U.S. river• Analyzed analytical data to evaluate contaminant source areas and distribution at a chlorinated solvent site in the southeastern U.S.• Developed a storm water runoff model to predict peak flow rates for water quality sampling using HydroCAD in the northeast U.S.

Storrs, Ct

• Conducted pump tests, estimated aquifer parameters, and constructed and maintained weir network for streamflow monitoring at a site in the northeastern U.S.• Managed and assisted topographical survey team• Developed a one-dimensional unsteady flow model in C to evaluate the interaction between surface and groundwater around a well field
