Mr. Bauer is a Senior Hydrologist with over 17 years of experience in managing and performing hydrogeologic investigations at hazardous waste sites. Mr. Bauer has experience includes petroleum hydrocarbon and chlorinated hydrocarbon natural attenuation studies, groundwater contamination studies, computer modeling, storm water studies, aquifer testing, Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III environmental site assessments, groundwater and soil sampling, and supervision of monitor well installation.
Project Manager for the operations and maintenance activities of a groundwater pump and treat system that includes chromium and boron ion exchange units and granular activated carbon. CE maintains the system 7 days a week - 365 days a year and is responsible for the change out of spent granular activated carbon and ion exchange resin on an as-needed basis. Other O&M activities include pulling well pumps for repair, minor electrical troubleshooting, and monthly and weekly sampling of the effluent.
Project Manager for the modification of a groundwater pump and treat system by incorporating 4 existing wells into an existing SCADA System. The project included the installation of new fiber optic cables to wells, installation of new control boxes containing Programmed Logic Controllers, surge protectors, power supply, well pump controller, leak detection system, and lightning arrestor. The well heads were also modified with a new electronic flow meter, electric actuator valve, and pressure transducer with cable.
Project Manager for the expansion of an existing in-situ biodegradation remediation system. The project included: a site investigation with sampling, testing, and data evaluation; preparation of design and specification documents; operation and maintenance of the expanded system; and a complete report including system evaluation and data results.
Project manager and lead investigator on Phase I Hazardous Materials Site Assessments for an electronics manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas and a pharmaceutical company in Ft. Worth Texas. These site assessments were conducted following the most recent versions of the ASTM standards ASTM 1528 and 1527. These assessments included site visits, interviews with property owners, regulatory review, database searches, and review of current and historical aerial photographs.
Project manager for a risk assessment/CEAM under the Texas Risk Reduction Rules (TRRP) for a manufacturing facility in north Texas. The project included evaluation of soil, groundwater, and surface water to determine Tier 3 protective concentration levels.
Project manager for environmental studies portion of the Texas Department of Transportation IH-45/US-59 Major Investment Study. Work areas include, wetlands, threatened and endangered species review, hazardous waste and materials, soils, geology, air quality, and water resources.
Project manager for the preparation of three environmental assessments (EA) in Texas following the NEPA process. All three EAs resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
Project manager for a long-term stream monitoring projects for the Air Force at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The long-term monitoring project includes surface water and sediment sampling for a risk assessment and stream gaging and velocity measurements to determine stream flow in each of the creeks.
Managed several Phase I environmental site assessments for manufacturing companies in the United States and Mexico. Managed two Phase II environmental site assessments for a manufacturing company in Juarez, Chihuahua, and Nogales, Mexico. Work included the drilling of over 40 soil borings with soil samples collected for CLP analysis. A Phase III soil removal action was also conducted at the Juarez, Mexico site.
Designed groundwater pump and treat systems for an industrial manufacturing facility and a refinery in Houston, Texas. The designs involved the placement of new recovery wells at the manufacturing facility and optimization of the existing recovery wells and air stripper. The refinery recovery system included the design of 5 recovery trenches that were installed using a biopolymer and 15 recovery wells.
Managed and conducted several natural attenuation projects for petroleum hydrocarbon and chlorinated hydrocarbon contaminated sites.
