<br />• HEATHER L. JUSTUS 4 <br />EDUCATION <br />B.S., 1995, Geology, Adams State College. <br />Fall 1995 - Spring 1996 Graduate Work at Colorado State University in Civil Engineering. <br />REGISTRATION <br />Registered Professional Geologist: Washington (2378), Wyoming (3709), Arizona (51112) <br />Certified Professional Geologist (11324) <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc. <br />2009-Present - Project Manager <br />2007-2009 - Senior Project Hydrogeologist <br />2002-2006 - Project Hydrogeologist <br />1998-2001 - Staff Hydrogeologist <br />1996-1997 - Assistant Hydrogeologist <br />RECEIVED <br />`'#IAR 3 0 2011 <br />Division of Reclameflon, <br />Mining & Safety <br />• Involved in ground water studies and analysis including interpretation and evaluation of <br />hydrogeologic systems, geologic and geophysical logs; water quality data; geologic and <br />hydrologic maps, computer modeling, aquifer testing, water well design and construction, <br />evaluation of mining impacts on ground water systems, ground water / surface water <br />interactions, and water rights. Responsible for GIS development, including interpretation and <br />evaluation of spatial model input and results and how it relates to the hydrogeologic <br />environment. Field experience includes: mapping, water quality sampling, aquifer testing, <br />logging and supervision of well drilling. Duties require collection and analysis of data, report <br />preparation, litigation support and project management. <br />Significant projects include: <br />• Denver Basin Aquifer study in the Monument, Co. area to evaluate an existing well field and <br />reconnaissance level feasibility investigation of a possible satellite well field. The study <br />included evaluating historic, current and projected demands, determining local hydrogeologic <br />properties, suggesting guidelines for well management, and analytical computer modeling to <br />determine future drawdown. <br />• Evaluation of depletions to the South Platte River and the City of Brighton's Alluvial Well <br />Field caused by changes in land use by development and lining of the Brighton Lateral. <br />Estimated hydraulic conductivity, saturated thickness, and boundary conditions. The project <br />included a ground water mass balance analysis, ground water modeling, and a modified <br />Glover Analysis to determine the timing, location and amount of depletions. <br />• Evaluation of the hydrogeology of Beebe Draw and Box Elder alluvial aquifers includes <br />• preparation of an aquifer mass balance for eleven time periods, from 1930 to the present, and <br />estimation of the timing and amount of depletion to the South Platte River caused by <br />Lenard ice <br />- <br />41?
