Mr. Fontana is a professional geologist and executive serving as president and 50% owner of Vista GeoScience LLC. With annual revenues over two million, Vista GeoScience provides site investigation and remediation support services to the environmental engineering and consulting industries, and laboratory services and consulting to the oil/gas/uranium exploration and extraction industries. He oversees the operations of all consulting, field and analytical services and manages environmental technicians, geotechnical/environmental drillers, chemists, geologists, mobile and fixed based laboratory programs, and environmental remediation services. He provides design, project support and cost estimation on major geochemical exploration surveys, environmental site investigations, in-situ remediation design, baseline investigations, GIS/GPS data acquisition systems, development of new field methods, laboratory methods, and data interpretation techniques. Mr. Fontana has been deposed as an expert with regards to stray gas migration issues. He has co-authored over 70 publications and presentations on topics in his field.

EXPERTISE

Mr. Fontana has over 30 years of experience as a professional geologist, business executive, exploration geochemist, environmental scientist, researcher, and project manager, with experience in the following areas:

Geochemical exploration techniques including soil, soil gas, lake sediment and ground water; sampling program design, customized sampling tools, containers and systems; management of field programs; laboratory analytical methods and data interpretation using statistical visualization methods. Development of several economical field acquisition and analytical methods for analysis of trace amounts gas and liquid hydrocarbons in soils, soil gas, ground water and ambient air.

Acquisition methods and analysis of soil, soil gas, and ground water for trace volatile components including difficult to sample and highly volatile components such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, etc., using specialized sample capture methods including passive soil gas devices, Summa canisters, gas sampling bags, glass bulbs, and other inert or impermeable containers.

Uranium exploration method using decay products (helium and radon) and other gases and related minerals in soil gas and sediments.

Development of a customized a system for collecting numerous field data parameters in large project areas with natural gas seeps and stray gas migration using portable GIS/GPS geo-database acquisition systems. Field input data included portable gas detection systems (IR, FID, PID,) photography and video capture, geologic, biotic and water features. The system greatly reduced post field data entry labor time and provided richer geographic data that could be viewed on an ArcGIS data visualization system.

Interpretation of geochemical data including soil gas, liquid hydrocarbons, stable isotopes, domestic water wells and ground water chemistry for exploration purposes and forensic analysis of stray gas and other natural or anthropogenic contamination issues.
