CHESTER HITCHENS <br /> <br />.i <br />Representative Experience (Continued) <br />• Served as a Project Hydrogeologist on site investigations involving soil and <br />groundwater contamination in Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, New Mexico, <br />Washington and Wyoming. Projects involve initial site investigation, evaluation of <br />hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer, contaminant transport and preparation and <br />implementation of remedial action plans for soil and groundwater clean up. <br />• Conducted water rights adjudication for municipalities. Projects involved reviewing <br />of court records, establishing baseline data for groundwater usage, and <br />development of a data for the municipalities for the management of their ground <br />water usage. <br />• Evaluated potential for groundwater recharge and hydrogeology of an alluvial basin <br />in southwestern Arizona. Project involved defining the saturated and unsaturated <br />hydraulic characteristics of the basin, conducting long-term aquifer tests on large <br />diameter irrigation wells, developing a groundwater flow model to predict the <br />impacts of future groundwater usage an examining geochemical data for the <br />groundwater and surface water proposal to be used for recharge. <br />• Conducted groundwater contamination investigation associated with a dynamite <br />plant. Project involved review of the facility records to determine past operations <br />and disposal practices, examination of fate and transport of contaminants leached <br />from unlined disposal ponds and evaluation of steam and groundwater interaction <br />relating to contaminant transport. <br />Page 2 <br />
