REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS Dr. Edelman has over 30 years of experience as a professional geologist and has been the supervising hydrogeologist in over 500 subsurface investigation and remediation projects. Example projects include the following. Municipal Commingled Plume Project, California: Management of more than 60 leaking underground tank sites in nine “commingled” plumes under City redevelopment program. Responsible for all technical and regulatory aspects and for maximizing state reimbursement to the Client. Municipal Wells Impacted with MtBE, California: Municipal wells downgradient of Client site impacted with MtBE, well owner legal claim against Client, negative media attention, hostile regulatory climate. Provided technical support and advocacy to multidisciplinary project team resulting in discrediting City’s technical expert, pressuring City into an acceptable settlement, and significantly relaxed regulatory requirements. Municipal Transportation Authority, California: Conducted Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments of railroad corridors for light rail conversion project. Research of railroad and surrounding areas, inspection of current property uses and conditions, government record searches, hydrogeological evaluation, geophysical surveys, soil vapor surveys, soil borings, and chemical analyses to minimize Client cost of property acquisition. Phase I and II Assessments, Photographic Chemical Residues, Carpinteria, California: Conducted Phase I and II assessments of photographic processing facility with extensive spillage of photographic chemicals and precipitation of metals in subfloor and underlying soil. Designed and executed limited removal action to maximize Client’s value from sale of a contaminated property. Remedial Excavation, Prescott, Arizona: Project manager for 3,000-ton remedial excavation in historic downtown area. Detailed planning and City coordination to remove, transport, and replace 200 truckloads of impacted soil. Included vapor suppression, shoring, groundwater removal with on-site treatment and disposal, and application of a groundwater oxidizer. Regulatory advocacy and partnering with City to avoid expensive, high-impact, offsite excavation in public right-of-way. Oxygenate Natural Attenuation, California Service Stations: Designed, executed, and reported results for more than 40 natural attenuation evaluation projects using contaminant concentration trends, geochemical indicators, stable carbon and hydrogen isotopes, dissolution analysis, and attenuation rate analysis to demonstrate MtBE, TBA, 1,2-DCA and benzene biodegradation. Use of the data for regulatory advocacy resulting in early closure and/or avoidance of high-cost/low-value active remediation. Vadose Zone Fate and Transport, Experimental Pesticide Waste Pits, California: Modeled unsaturated vertical flow of pore water with dissolved-phase pesticides. Designed and executed field program to measure unsaturated hydraulic head using tensiometers, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, soil moisture content, and other parameters to calculate vertical flow velocity in vadose-zone alluvium and weathered bedrock in order to estimate

the potential time until groundwater impact. Resulted in significantly reduced costs to Client. Mass Discharge to Surface Water Evaluation, Orange County, California: Utilized MtBE mass discharge calculation and Santa Ana River flow records to calculate potential impact to river. Agency reduced Client’s requirements for remediation and rescinded requirement for plume containment. Vapor Intrusion Modeling, California Service Stations: Developed protocols and conducted vapor intrusion modeling for more than 20 California and Arizona sites. Included soil gas sampling, sample analysis, QA/QC, and exposure modeling for potential vapor intrusion to buildings. Sampling methods included both direct push sampling probes and permanent soil gas wells. Results used to demonstrate absence of vapor intrusion to to design cost-effective remedy. Mass Discharge to Municipal Well, Blythe, California: Municipal well located downgradient of three contaminant plumes. contaminant mass discharge calculations and other methods used to evaluate potential impacts to municipal well. Economic analysis used to demonstrate to funding authority that the cost of abandoning the municipal well and installing a new well in another location (remove the receptor), which would provide significant value to the Client, would be less than the cost of remediation and plume containment to protect the municipal well. Characterization of Multiple Perched Aquifers, Orcutt, California: Identification and characterization of three perched saturated zones within an 80-foot vadose zone above a regional water table. Delineated edges of laterally discontinuous perched zones where contaminated pore water seeped downward to deeper perched zones and ultimately the regional water table. Required precise well design/construction at multiple levels, and resulted in accurate characterization of a geometrically complex vadose-zone plume and reduced remediation costs. Deep Soil and Groundwater Characterization, Tuscon, Arizona: Historic practices at a fuel terminal resulted in extensive spillage of refined petroleum products. Residual NAPL in soil threatened benzene impact to sole source aquifer for City. Designed and managed construction of groundwater monitoring wells with conductor casings to demonstrate no groundwater impacts; resulted in low-cost monitoring strategy that provided aquifer protection comparable to that of more costly active remediation.
