WORK EXPERIENCE Mar. 2008 - Present Hydrogeologist, GG
-14, Uranium Recovery Branch (URB), NMSS, US NRC, Rockville, MD.
Perform technical safety reviews and assist with environmental reviews of licensing actions for uranium recovery operations using in
-situ leach or conventional milling, with emphasis on the evaluation of site geological, surface water and ground water conditions, impacts of operations on these resources and protection/restoration of these resources.
Conduct operational oversight of uranium recovery facilities including on
-site inspections and reviews of required monitoring reports.
Develop and evaluate ground water flow and contaminant transport models to support technical reviews of uranium recovery sites. Provide technical expertise on geological, surface water and ground water hydrology to NRC and other government and non-government entities, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for uranium recovery sites. Act as technical subject matter expert on geological, surface water and ground water hydrology to provide written and oral testimony for hearings on uranium recovery licensing actions. Apr. 2007 - Mar. 2008 Hydrogeologist, GG-13, Uranium Recovery and Licensing Branch (URLB), FSME, US NRC, Rockville, MD.
Performed technical reviews of ground water site characterization, flow and transport modeling, restoration, and monitoring for new license applications and other licensing 2 actions for in-situ uranium recovery (ISR) facilities, UMTRCA Title I and Title II sites and other uranium decommissioning sites. Performed inspections of existing and proposed ISR operations.
Provided expertise on ISR operations in complex hydrogeological settings.
Assessed and researched novel ground water restoration techniques at ISR sites. Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007 Supervisory Environmental Scientist , GS
-14 Acting Branch Chief, US EPA ORD NRMRL Ground Water & Ecosystems Restoration Division, Ecosystems and Subsurface Protection Branch, Ada, OK Acted for four months as Branch Chief in addition to regular research work load.
Supervised eight research staff and two field technicians and completed other management tasks to support research mission of the branch.
Feb. 2001 - Nov. 2006 Hydrologist, GS-13, US EPA ORD NRMRL Ground Water & Ecosystems Restoration Division, Ecosystems and Subsurface Protection Branch, Ada, OK Performed field research on contamination to ground water from confined animal feeding operation waste land application sites and on ground water/surface water interaction before and after stream restoration.
Developed and calibrated research site ground water flow/contaminant transport models using field data.
Created, reviewed and tested algorithms and software codes for a new EPA ground water model and coauthored user manual. Prepared and published journal articles and technical reports describing the results and implications of research efforts.
Jun. 1998 - Feb. 2001 Supervisor and Project Scientist, ManTech Environmental Research Services, Ada, OK Supervised, managed and acted as member of the USEPA Center for Subsurface Modeling Support (CSMoS), an on
-site contract team composed of two ground water modelers, one database programmer, one geologist and two GIS specialists providing ground water and contamination remediation modeling technical support for US EPA.
Performed reviews of ground water site characterization and ground water modeling reports for RCRA and Superfund sites.
Reviewed and developed ground water models and software to support contract mission PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
