<br />Susan A. Wyman, P.E., P.G.
<br />• Envirocare Clive Facility, Utah - Evaluated runoff from disposal cells and potential for infiltration and
<br />groundwater mounding, based on 5-, 10-, and 100-year recurrence interval storms. Performed unsaturated flow
<br />modeling to determine acceptable runoff and excavation areas, for permitting engineering design.
<br />• Johnson Camp Mine Project, Arizona - Evaluated mine dewatering and water supply well locations, potential
<br />yield, and preliminary pump selection for Burro Pit dewatering and process water supply. Prepared hydrologic
<br />study plan for the Aquifer Protection Permit Application.
<br />• Lisbon Valley Copper Project, Utah - Modeled groundwater flow and geochemical transport systems using
<br />finite element and robust spreadsheet models. Prepared hydrogeologic reports in support of the EIS, evaluated
<br />water supply potential and open-pit dewatering requirements, prepared documents in support of the Water
<br />Rights Application to the Utah State Engineer, prepared and submitted facility-wide Ground Water Discharge
<br />Permit Application, performed field aquifer testing and water quality sampling for permitting. Maintained close
<br />client contact and worked with permitting agencies on a variety of groundwater-related issues.
<br />• Lisbon Valley Copper Project, Utah - Prepared quarterly groundwater sampling reports for submission to state
<br />and federal agencies (1999 - 2010). Prepared annual hydrogeologic update reports in accordance with BLM
<br />ROD (2006 - 2009). Developed strategies for water rights implementation for open pit copper mining.
<br />• Dry Valley Mine, Idaho - Prepared Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPS) and supporting documentation
<br />for Surface Water and Groundwater Monitoring and Mitigation Plan. Prepared Annual Surface and
<br />Groundwater Monitoring Reports for 2000 - 2002.
<br />• Golden Sunlight Mine, Montana - Third party review of vadose zone modeling. Evaluated the HELP3 results
<br />for percolation through reclaimed waste rock dumps, for the purpose of estimating post-closure ARD generation
<br />potential. Worked with Montana BLM, BOM, and several consulting firms.
<br />• Barrick Goldstrike Mine, Nevada - Wrotelimplemented two work plans / field programs in support of a
<br />constructed wetlands facility for mine water discharge, prepared drill contractor bid document and contract,
<br />supervised field program of deep auger drilling, surficial soil sampling, soil profiling, and groundwater
<br />sampling, arranged for laboratory analysis, performed statistical analyses and reported results.
<br />• Diamond Airport Parking Facility, Utah - Performed field investigation of subsurface chlorinated hydrocarbon
<br />occurrence in shallow groundwater and soils, developed remediation strategies and cost estimates, developed
<br />statistical methods for evaluating clean up criteria, authored the Site Characterization and Remediation
<br />Proposal, in support of litigation and under a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the State of Utah.
<br />• Alta Gold Copper Flat Project, New Mexico - Drilled, packer-tested, and completed bedrock wells peripheral to
<br />an open pit copper mine. Conducted aquifer pumping tests in alluvial wells, as well as sampling of groundwater
<br />wells and surface water bodies.
<br />• Alta Gold Copper Flat Project, New Mexico - Developed and calibrated a regional 3D finite element
<br />groundwater flow model to predict the effects of well field pumping and open pit mining on local and regional
<br />hydrology. Three decades of historical project data were compiled for the development of the model. Modeling
<br />results were incorporated into the EIS for new mine operation. Assisted with presentation and defense at public
<br />hearings before the state board.
<br />• COGEMA Resources Midwest Project, Saskatchewan - Conducted geologic borehole logging, performed and
<br />analyzed numerous down-hole (straddle packer) hydraulic conductivity tests, supervised well completion, and
<br />collected groundwater samples from deep wells in the Athabasca sandstone. Compiled the results of the field
<br />investigation and them incorporated into the EIS supporting document on the hydrogeology of the ore deposit.
<br />• COGEMA Resources Midwest Project, Saskatchewan - Developed a 3D Modflow model of hydrogeologic
<br />system, which included phased freezing, mining, backfilling, and thawing of the proposed underground uranium
<br />mine.' Results were incorporated into the EIS supporting document on the hydrogeology of the ore deposit.
<br />• Kennecott Utah Copper - Designed and tested 1,000 gpm production well, assembled hydraulic conductivity
<br />data and provided oversight in support of 3D Modflow groundwater model, designed remedial extraction well
<br />for low-pH high-sulfate groundwater.
<br />• Lamefoot Project, Washington - Performed analyses of packer test data in extremely low conductivity
<br />materials, in support of underground mine expansion.
