EXPERIENCE SUMMARY Mr. Kelly has eight years of experience in the management and remediation of petroleum-contaminated sites. His duties include coordinating all Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities of remedial systems/equipment, providing Engineering support to field technicians, data evaluation, mass balance calculations, milestones tracking, and preparation of quarterly O&M reports. Mr. Kelly’s engineering experience has included preparation of pilot test plans and specifications, conducting pilot tests to evaluate remedial technologies viability and provide design parameters for Remedial Action Plans, and preparation of Remedial Action Plans for petroleum contaminated sites.During his work on contaminated sites, he regularly utilizes core engineering principles to design soil and groundwater remediation systems using technologies such as air sparging, soil vapor extraction, multi-phase extraction, and in-situ bioremediation.He has developed system process and instrumentation diagrams and equipment bid specifications as well as coordinated remedial system installation including equipment procurement, permitting, scheduling of subcontractors and construction oversight.Mr. Kelly has prepared Construction Drawings and As-Built drawings for the installation of remediation systems under the supervision of several licensed Professional Engineers.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE Research Assistant, Coastal Transportation Engineering Research Center, Alabama.Mr. Kelly conducted field monitoring of constructed wetlands as a best management practice (BMP).He installed instrumentation to collect samples and performed chemical analysis on the samples.He determined water quality and pollutant removal capacity of the wetland during a variety of hydrologic events.Once the data collection was completed, Mr. Kelly coordinated the evaluation of results with University department.
Project Manager/Engineer, Milliron Realty, MadisonCounty, Florida. Mr. Brian served as the project manager and design Engineer for this project.The primary contaminants impacting the site were petroleum constituents (fuels and oils).Based on assessment data, the bulk of the soil and groundwater contamination was beneath the realty building. Mr. Brian was tasked with evaluating different remedial technologies and preparing a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) for the site.Mr. Brian prepared a RAP for the subject facility using insitu chemical oxidation. The design incorporate angled injections of chemical oxidizing reagents underneath the realty building. He solicited vendor and subcontractor quotations, submitted a cost proposal, and procured the necessary FDOT and FDEP permits. Mr. Brian was also responsible for scheduling, coordinating and supervising the RAP implementation activities. He coordinated the Post Active Remedial Monitoring (PARM) and submitted deliverables. Implementation of the RAP as designed resulted in an 80% reduction of the contaminants of concern (COCs) at this site. PARM activities are ongoing under his supervision.
Project Manager/Engineer, Madison Fina, Madison County, Florida.Mr. Brian serves as the project manager and design engineer for this project under the FDEP BPSS Cleanup Program.The subject facility is impacted with petroleum constituents (fuels and oils).Mr. Brian’s responsibilities included evaluation of site assessment and pilot test data to develop a RAP for the petroleum contamination identified at the subject facility. Assessment data indicated the LNAPL plume extended through several city blocks. Free phase product was also detected during the assessment. Mr. Brian’s proposed Remedial Action Plan used a Multi Phase Extraction (MPE) system augmented with Air Sparging (AS). His design also incorporated oil water separation units, air water stripping tower, and a catalytic oxidizer for the destruction of entrained VOC vapors.His next scope of work will be to coordinate the implementation of the RAP and operation of the remedial system in accordance to the FDEP’s Remedial Action Initiative (RAI) guidelines.
Project Engineer/Manager, Suwannee Swifty # 190, Calhoun County, Florida. Mr.Brian serves as the project Engineer for this facility. The facility is an active fuel dispensing and convenience store currently under active remediation for petroleum constitutes using a MPE system. Mr. Brian is tasked with coordinating all Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities, providing Engineering support to field technicians, evaluating O&M field data, evaluating the site cleanup milestones, and preparation of quarterly O&M reports under the FDEP’s RAI guidelines. He is also responsible for maintaining the site’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit required for discharging treated groundwater into the storm sewer.
