HSW BROCHURES / SLICKS:
SENIOR PERSONNEL: Ken W. Watson, Ph.D. As a Principal Hydrologist, Dr. Watson is the officer in charge of contamination assessments of industrial facilities, water resource investigations, numerous underground storage tank projects, and groundwater studies. Also, he is involved with unsaturated zone studies of wetlands. He is also involved in specific investigations dealing with establishing minimum flows and levels in water bodies in west-central Florida. Dr. Watson is continually called upon to provide quantitative expertise with respect to groundwater and unsaturated zone hydrology, and the transport of contaminants in the subsurface. As president of HSW, he is in charge of corporate technical development. Fred A. Seguiti, P.G. Mr. Seguiti manages projects involving site assessment and remediation. He has worked at more than 300 project sites throughout the Southeast and Puerto Rico including retail service stations, pipeline facilities, bulk storage terminals, transportation distribution centers, refineries, manufacturing facilities, DOD installations, solid waste landfills and public works facilities. The types of materials investigated include both lighter (gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, jet fuel, aviation gasoline, mineral spirits, stoddard solvent, motor oil, hydraulic oil, and Bunker C oil) and heavier than water organic chemicals (chlorinated organic solvents), pesticides, PCBs, and inorganic compounds. Mr. Seguiti has utilized innovative and cost saving techniques during both assessment and remediation including: soil gas surveys, environmental media sampling using direct push technology coupled with field analyses for real time site assessment, bioremediation strategies using bioaugmentation and natural attenuation/monitoring approaches, risk assessment, intensive limited scope and short term source removal, multiple well, recovery trench and horizontal well schemes for capturing impacted groundwater, dual-phase extraction wells, insitu air sparging and soil vacuum extraction. Carol D. Henry, M.S. As a principal hydrologist, Ms. Henry provides expertise on virtually all aspects of environmental compliance and cleanup, including hazardous waste determinations, assessment and remediation of regulated units and solid waste management units (SWMUs), closure and post-closure care permitting, and negotiating resolution to complex regulatory issues at both permitted and non-permitted facilities. Ms. Henry provides meeting facilitation services to develop consensus relating to permitting and other environmental compliance issues. In this capacity, Ms. Henry assists both private and public RCRA facilities in developing efficient and cost-effective solutions to regulatory compliance while maintaining appropriate environmental stewardship. She has developed many streamlined approaches to regulatory permitting and reporting that have resulted in substantial cost savings and improved environmental protection and remediation. These innovative approaches have been embraced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation, NASA, DOE, DoD, and other agencies. C. Dennis Peek, P.E. As a Vice President/Principal Engineer, Mr. Peek has extensive experience in the areas of major project management, treatment system design, construction, and operation and maintenance, hazardous waste, and groundwater recovery. His extensive experience in project management includes cost estimation, cost comparison, and value engineering, as well as selection, management, coordination, and scheduling of multi-disciplined technical and construction teams, and also cost tracking and financial projections for long term operating and monitoring requirements. He has working knowledge of federal and state regulations and permitting requirements. Mr. Peek has successfully served as project manager or officer, responsible for project QC/QA and execution, on numerous other projects ranging from site investigations to treatment system construction. This work included RCRA work as well as CERCLA work. He has provided permitting, oversight and closure certification at numerous RCRA TSD facilities including the DOE Pinellas Plant. Andrew M. Lawn, P.G.
Chad D. Drummond, P.E. As a Senior Engineer at HSW, Mr. Drummond performs groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling on several key projects. Using simulation results, he evaluates groundwater and contaminant flow under varying aquifer stresses and remedial technologies. He also executes watershed and surface water modeling, along with various remediation and water resources project management duties. Mr. Drummond has practical experience with several innovative remediation technologies including Surfactant-Enhanced Aquifer Remediation (SEAR), chemical oxidation, biostimulation, and bioremediation. Mr. Drummond is the twice elected National Ground Water Association (NGWA) chairperson of the Ground Water Modeling Interest Group and is the Office Manager for HSW’s DeLand, Florida office. Robert E. Bretnall, P.G. Mr. Bretnall is a hydrogeologist with over 20 years of direct experience in planning and managing complex environmental projects and investigations. He has been recognized for superior job performance in conducting multi-phase investigations and assessments, auditing/evaluating site conditions, analyzing and interpreting data, and preparing reports and remedial plans. Mr. Bretnall has demonstrated expertise in contract management, tracking multiple projects, budgeting, quality control, technical report preparation, compliance with state and federal regulations, and staff training and supervision. Scott H. Emery, Ph.D. Dr. Emery's water resources experience spans 29 years of professional experience (11 states, 3 countries) in both the public and private sectors. His primary areas of technical expertise are in: minimizing impacts from water resource development projects; assessing impacts from water withdrawal on lakes/streams/wetlands(including the development of methods for determining MFLs); resource management and policy development for local and regional governments; water supply development, treatment, and testing; applied ecology and ecological risk assessments. He has won awards for his professional facilitation services, undertaken for a variety of water resource and habitat issues. Dr. Emery has successfully completed multiple projects for three different water management districts, including Peer Reviews for different MFL issues. He has a research professorship at the University of South Florida, where he heads a multi-year MFL – related study for the Southwest Florida Water Management District. He has been a Board of Directors member for the Institute for Environmental Studies at USF since 1993. Dr. Emery was the Director of Resource Management for one of the largest water supply utilities in the state, in charge of all water supply development, operations, treatment and testing. He is qualified as an expert witness, and has successfully obtained large water use permits for public supply and agriculture. William Lais, P.E. Served as Engineer in Charge for over forty-five remedial action sites in Florida. Engineer in charge responsibilities include certification of remedial action plans, feasibility studies, operation and maintenance reports, natural attenuation monitoring plans and reports, post-active remediation monitoring reports, and site rehabilitation closure reports. Eleven years experience in the evaluation and selection of remedial action cleanup strategies and the selection and design of remedial action equipment. Possesses an extensive knowledge of the electronic controls used in typical environmental treatment systems and possesses the resources and experience necessary to troubleshoot failed or under-performing systems. Cindy L. Westergard
Ms. Westergard, a senior chemist, has served in a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) capacity for over 15 years and has worked in the environmental field for over 20 years. As corporate QA Officer at HSW, she is responsible for the generation of quality assurance plans, validation of field and analytical data, data analysis and management, generation and updating of HSW's Quality Manual, auditing of environmental laboratories, and negotiation of laboratory contracts. |
