Stanford is a Senior Project Manager with <br />Weaver Boos Consultants. Working as a consultant <br />to industry for 22 years, Mr. Stanford has completed <br />all phases of facility and hydrogeologic site <br />characterization, water well design, the pumping and <br />treatment of groundwater, risk assessment, and <br />renediation, successfully closing and/or permitting <br />numerous TSD, UST, LUST, M, and SRP <br />facilities. <br />Prior to joining Weaver Boos Consultants, Mr. <br />Stanford worked for two nationally recognized <br />environmental firms and co -owned a successful <br />environmental consulting firm for five years, He has <br />enjoyed success in dewatering system design, <br />remedial design, implementation, and the subsequent <br />closure of many significantly impacted facilities <br />using state -of -the art remediation technology. <br />Select Project Experience <br />Mr. Stanford designed a groundwater interceptor <br />system at a closed Illinois solid waste disposal <br />facility that that performed in accordance with its <br />design parametem. The system included a barrier <br />wall and interceptor french system arranged to utilize <br />a naturally occurring sand layer as a landfill under - <br />drain. The subsurface hydraulics of the system were <br />designed using the USGS MODFLOW groundwater <br />flow model. <br />Numerous groundwater dewatering and drainage <br />systems have been evaluated, designed, and <br />consfneted by kvir. Stanford based on fundamental <br />hydrogeologic principles such as Daroy's law, the <br />Theint equation, and the Theis equation. He has <br />conducted numerous aquifer pumping tests to predict <br />groundwater drawdown, groundwater yield, and to <br />measure hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and <br />groundwater flow velocity. <br />Mr. Stanford served as technical coordinator for a <br />sudden release of 130,000 gallons of chromate - <br />containing emergency cooling water at an integrated <br />steel mill, He designed and supervised the <br />installation of a well point dewatering system to <br />recover and treat chromated cooling water within 48 <br />hours of the release. Renegotiated termination of the <br />work and closure of the incident with IDEM Office <br />of Environmental Response only 10 days after the <br />work began. <br />. Stanford was principally responsible for the <br />imgcological assessment and Groundwater Impact <br />sessment (GIA) relative to the proposed expansion <br />three Illinois solid waste disposal facilities. His <br />rk, including expert testimony, contributed to the <br />cessfid siting of a proposed 200 -acre landfill <br />expansion, <br />The GIAs prepared by Mr. Stanford utilize <br />groundwater flow models incorporating statistical <br />evaluation of environmental data and other modeling <br />input parameters, literature reviews identifying <br />phystoo- chemical characteristics for chemically <br />similar groupings of leactiate constituents, multi- <br />group surrogate modeling with separate sensitivity <br />analyses, and in select instances, multiple conceptual <br />models utilized to separately assess migration from <br />the bottom and side slopes of die landfill liner <br />
