Experience
• Central & Camelback Groundwater Monitoring, Phoenix, Arizona: Performed groundwater sampling and water level monitoring at a PCE-contaminated site. Recorded pertinent purge parameters prior to sampling.
• MEK Release SVE Remediation and Field Investigation, Casa Grande, Arizona: Ongoing soil vapor data and sample collection, and O&M for a thermal-catalytic oxidizer system during SVE remediation of an MEK release. Preparation and setup of a soil vapor extraction apparatus for a short-term pump test. Collection of pertinent field readings and soil vapor samples as part of a preliminary remedial investigation to determine the extent of vadose soils contamination for evaluation of treatment options.
• Heap Leach Neutralization Project, Arizona: Performed geochemical research, composed relevant stoichiometric equations and took part in the conceptual design of an innovative approach to controlling the pH of an abandoned heap leach site. This project is ongoing and will include laboratory and bench-scale study design and implementation for numerical model calibration.
