SELECTED EXPERIENCE o Directed the feasibility study for the remediation of the Hamilton Air Force Base Landfill . This involved preparation of alternatives, cost estimates and schedules for the landfill remediation at Hamilton Air Force Base, Novato, California. During the course of this work, Mr. Dietz dealt with the Assistant Secretary of the Army, the program management for hazardous waste within the Corps of Engineers in Washington, D. C . , and all levels of Corps of Engineers personnel between Omaha, Nebraska and Sacramento, California. The approach developed was acceptable to the new owner of the property, as well as well as the state of California, and recognized as an innovative approach to a difficult problem. o Manager in charge of the remediation of Hamilton Air Force Base, Novato, California. Responsible for a $10 million remediation project involving the 300 - acre Hamilton Air Force Base site . Project involved on-site treatment of contaminated soil as well as off-site personnel , at times operating 24-hours per day, requiring complex scheduling, cost estimating, and cost control . Work was performed on a fast-track schedule at the direction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . o Directed the underground investigation of the Basalt Waste Isolation Project at the Hanford site in Washington state. This project involved investigation of subsurface geology and hydrology, design of major underground shafts and exca- vation, testing of suitability of basalt for the storage of nuclear waste using geotechnical and other test equipment which had never been previously built in the world, construc- tion of drilling tools and equipment which were unique in the world and suitable for drilling shafts up to 15 feet in diameter to a depth of 3 , 800 feet in rock with an ultimate compressive strength of 50, 000 pounds per square inch. Management involved 8 ,000 tasks, of which 1 ,000 were active at any given time with an annual budged of $60 million. Total project cost was over $300 million. This project involved coordination with United States senators, con- gressmen, high-ranking Department of Energy officials, politicians, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials, local unions, major newspapers in Washington and Oregon, Technical experts from around the world in design, construc- tion and development of major underground equipment and instruments , direction of major U. S . AE and major U.S. constructor. One major element of the program, the Near Surface Test Facility, was designed and constructed on a schedule which rivaled the construction of the nuclear plants in Hanford during World War SII . This project was a 24-hour per day, 7-day per week operation requiring unique technical and management skills.
