<br /> Report for the base, preparation of a Basewide comprehensive plan environmental
<br /> assessment and a cultural resources management plan, design of replacement
<br /> underground storage tanks for an AFEE's gas station, indoor air quality testing,
<br /> investigation of offsite groundwater containing trichloroethene, and bioventing pilot
<br /> studies at three sites. Responsibilities include client maintenance, conflict resolution,
<br /> maintaining task schedules and budgets, quality control, and overall customer
<br /> satisfaction. Projects include both DTSC and RWQCB oversight, preparation of work

<br /> active vehicle maintenance areas, fire training areas, and wastewater ponds. The
<br /> Project concerns included UXO, potential for unknown chemicals, strong oxidizing fuels
<br /> and propellants. Pond project included the development of an approach to characterize
<br /> the sludge and soil within and beneath four inactive sewage ponds. The four inactive
<br /> wastewater ponds at Sierra Army Depot required assessment to identify possible
<br /> impacts from four unlined wastewater ponds that encompass approximately 8.5 acres.
<br /> The ponds received predominately raw sewage from the base with occasional small
<br /> quantities of industrial waste from base operations. The assessment included the
<br /> collection of soil and groundwater samples, analysis of chemical data including a
<br /> comparison of the metal concentrations to the background, and performance of a human
<br /> health evaluation. Analytes included semi-volatile compounds, metals, pesticides,
<br /> PCBs, and nitrate.
<br /> Western Processing Superfund Site, Kent, Washington — Project geologist for
<br /> characterization of the Federal Superfund site. The facility was a former Class I
