Contract Manager, FDEP Hazardous Waste and Chlorinated Solvent Cleanup Program Contract, Statewide – Florida. Ms. Jackson worked within State of Florida and RCRA regulatory environments on a daily basis during the five years she managed this contract for WRS. As part of her daily duties, she has supervised the contamination assessments and remedial action implementations at over twenty chlorinated solvent and hazardous waste sites. Her primary responsibilities included assessment design and implementation, cost estimation, tracking and control, personnel management, and completion of applicable regulatory documentation.
Contract Manager, FDOT District 2 Maintenance Yard and Emergency Response Contract, Florida. Ms. Jackson managed this contract for approximately four years. Her responsibilities under this contract included preparation of work plans, cost estimates and project deliverables, supervision of all aspects of field work, contamination assessments, remedial action implementation, all-media sampling, investigative derived waste (IDW) characterization and profiling, waste transportation and disposal, quality assurance auditing, and data reduction and interpretation.
Quality Control Manager, FFWCC Objective-based Vegetative Management, Northwest and South Florida. Ms. Jackson received vegetation sampling certification from FFWCC. Her responsibilities included monitoring active field crews to ensure that vegetation data was collected according to FFWCC standard operating procedures. She also ensured that data was reproducible between sampling teams and conducted troubleshooting for issues that arose during sampling activities. All data for this project was collected with hand-held GIS data collectors and sub-meter Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Data types collected included plant species, vegetation coverage, stem counts, height measurements, and basal area.
Contract Manager/Senior Geologist, FDOT Madison Maintenance Yard, Madison County, Florida. The Madison Maintenance Yard site was the location of several underground storage tanks (USTs), some of which leaked petroleum into the subsurface. Ms. Jackson designed the assessment as well as managed all aspects of remediation for this petroleum site. During site activities, Ms. Jackson was asked to determine if any portions of the plume could be remediated under the State of Florida Petroleum Cleanup Program. Eligibility was based on which set of USTs were responsible for what portion of the petroleum plume. Ms. Jackson reviewed various approaches for this determination, including petroleum “fingerprinting”. In the end, a “gentleman’s agreement” was reached with FDEP, splitting responsibility for cleanup between FDOT and the Petroleum Cleanup Program.
Contract Manager/Senior Senior Hydrologist, FFWCC Wildlife Management Areas: Aucilla, Box R, and Big Bend – Florida. Ms. Jackson personally conducted surface hydrology evaluations of both historical and current surface water flow at each of these three WMAs. She collected detailed site information, such as road conditions and water conveyance structures, utilizing a field-rugged lap top computer and sub-meter Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Ms. Jackson returned from the field and evaluated both the current and historic data. Once her evaluation was completed, she provided recommendations for surface hydrology restoration at each Wildlife Management Area. The restoration goals were to meet FFWCC’s desire for comprehensive land management.
Quality Control Officer, Cascades Park Site, Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. While working on this 9.7 million dollar remediation project, Ms. Jackson was responsible for developing the Sampling and Analysis Plan and the Quality Assurance Plan. Both plans were developed to meet the requirements of FDEP and EPA. Additionally, Ms. Jackson selected all confirmation soil sample locations, supervised sampling activities, and provided technical advice to the client. Her duties also included conducting audits that met the requirements of FDEP’s Standard Operating Procedures.
Senior Geologist, Naval Air Station Charleston, Comprehensive Long-term Environmental Action, Navy, South Carolina. Ms. Jackson designed and implemented the assessment at over 32 petroleum sites for the former Charleston Naval Complex in South Carolina. The primary contaminants at these sites were petroleum fuels (kerosene, diesel, avgas, gasoline). All 32 assessments were designed, implemented and completed in a 6-month period. During the assessment activities, Ms. Jackson was responsible for coordination with SCDHEC, subcontractor selection, scheduling, and management, preparation of all deliverable documents, IDW management including characterization and disposal, maintaining client relations, analytical review, quality assurance and quality control of the project, and data reduction and interpretation.
Senior Geologist, Marine Corps Logistics Base, Comprehensive Long-term Environmental Action, Navy, Georgia. Ms. Jackson was responsible for the supervision of all field activities associated with 26 RCRA/CERCLA sites at this military base located in Albany, Georgia. Primary contaminants included chlorinated solvents, pesticides, and arsenic. Her field activities included soil removal, IDW management and characterization, deep monitor well installation, soil and groundwater sampling, natural attenuation sampling, and groundwater remedial system maintenance. Ms. Jackson also prepared work plans and technical memoranda detailing all proposed and completed field activities. As part of these investigations, Ms. Jackson routinely interacted with representatives from the State of Georgia, USEPA, the United States Geological Survey, the United States Navy, and citizens of the City of Albany.
Project Manager/Senior Scientist, Indiana Department of Environmental Protection Contract, Statewide. Under this contract, Ms. Jackson reviewed assessment and monitoring documents submitted to IDEM under their contaminant cleanup reimbursement program. As part of these reviews, Ms. Jackson ensured the work reported by the consultant was complete, met IDEM regulatory criteria, and ensured that the recommendations in each document were sound and in the best interests of the State of Indiana and the environment.
Project Geologist, Naval Aviation Depot Pensacola, Comprehensive Long-term Environmental Action, Navy, Southeastern United States. Ms. Jackson served as the Project Geologist for 27 sites at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. The primary contaminants impacting these sites were petroleum constituents (fuels and oils), chlorinated solvents, and lead paint. Her responsibilities included work plan development and implementation, cost estimation, cost management, client negotiations, and deliverable preparation. Her field activities included onsite soil removal and remediation, pipeline removal and closure, storage tank closure and assessments, free product removal, contamination assessments, tidal studies, aquifer characterization tests, interim remedial actions, monitor well and piezometer installations, and soil and groundwater screening with a field gas chromatograph.
Project Manager/Senior Scientist, FDEP Pre-Approval Sites at FDOT District 2 Maintenance Yards, Florida. Ms. Jackson managed the assessment and remediation of all FDOT District 2 sites that were eligible for state funding. These sites included the Old Gainesville Maintenance Yard in Gainesville and the Madison Maintenance Yard in Madison, Florida. The primary contaminants at these sites were petroleum constituents – diesel and gasoline. Ms. Jackson was responsible for preparation and implementation of the work plans and cost estimates, invoicing, preparation of all deliverable documents, contamination assessment activities, lithologic and hydrologic interpretations, IDW management, waste characterization and disposal, client relations, analytical review, quality assurance and quality control, and data reduction and interpretation.
Project Manager/Senior Scientist, Former Gulf States Chemical Company Project, Jefferson County, Florida. Ms. Jackson managed this project under the FDEP Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program. The Former Gulf States Chemical Company was a chemical repackaging company. Chlorinated solvent contamination from site activities impacted the surficial aquifer, the Floridan Aquifer, and the drinking water wells of several adjacent properties. During the execution of this contract, Ms. Jackson designed and implemented a contamination assessment that included geophysical surveys, document review, interviews with affected parties, soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment sampling, and an interim source removal.
Project Manager/Senior Scientist, Tempo Drycleaners, Seminole County, Florida. Ms. Jackson managed this project under the FDEP Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program. Chlorinated solvent impacts at the site were the result of normal drycleaning operations and a tetrachloroethene (PCE) spill. The total volume of PCE released was unknown. The assessment was carefully tailored to evaluate the impacts of both the single catastrophic event (the spill) and the more typical time-attenuated, small volume releases that occurred during normal operations. Assessment of soil and groundwater beneath the facility, as well as assessment of a nearby pond and stream were required. Results indicated the DNAPL plume extended through three aquifers and impacted a nearby stream. The plume within the stream extended over a mile downstream from the site.
Geologist, Town & Country Cleaners, Clay County, Florida. Ms. Jackson served as contract manager and senior technical lead on this hazardous waste remediation project. The site consisted of a mixed plume of drycleaning solvents and petroleum. During remediation activities, petroleum concentrations increased. Additional assessment was conducted under Ms. Jackson’s direction. Using analytical data and distribution analyses, it was determined that the petroleum increases were due to a new spill. This data was used to relieve her client of additional cleanup costs.
