TagPollution Control Hearings Board(1507)

the Northwest Regional Office. I am a hydrogeologist and supervisor of the Watershed Unit at Northwest Region Water Quality. The Watershed Unit is responsible for surface water cleanup planning (TMDLs), implementation of the Forests and Fish Agreement, and Water Quality Financial Assistance. I have been a hydrogeologist for 24 years and employed by Ecology since October, 1979. My duties as a hydrogeologist during my tenure with Ecology have included investigating and preparing findings for water right applications, defending controversial water right decisions before the Pollution Control Hearings Board, providing expert testimony at EFSEC hearings for proposed Northern Tier pipeline river crossings, investigating and reporting on groundwater quality impacts at dairies, gravel mines and at wastewater land application sites. I also served on a state personnel committee which established the state Hydrogeologist employee classification. 2. During my tenure with Ecology, I authored or co-authored the following reports and publications; Seawater Intrusion on South Camano Island, Washington, Water Rights near Lake Sawyer, King County Washington, High Rock Aquifer Break of 1993 (co-authored), Groundwater Quality Survey near Edaleen Dairy, Whatcom Co., WA(1994), Groundwater Contamination at Plowman Dairy_ near Yelm, Washington, Groundwater Impacts at Alger Rock Quarry, Bellingham Frozen Foods Response Summary, and San Juan Watershed Water Quality Needs Assessment. 3. During most of the year 2000, I was Ecology's lead in managing special legislature mandated SeaTac Runway Fill and Maury Island gravel mining studies. Managing the studies involved developing the Request for Proposals, selection of a consultant, periodic briefings on study results, news…

Program in the Northwest Regional Office. I am a Section Manager of the Northwest Regional Office Water Quality Section with responsibility for managing the activities of over 38 professional staff, including environmental engineers, environmental specialists, and hydrogeologists. This section is tasked with meeting goals and objectives of the Water Quality Program which include the regulation of municipal and industrial points sources and the discharges of process or stormwater discharges from these sources, implementation of Washington State's non-point source control action plan, development and implementation of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) or Water Cleanup Plans on those state waters that have been listed as impaired for not meeting the state's water quality standards, as well as provide technical expertise to other Ecology programs on water quality issues. I have been directly involved with the Third Runway Project Clean Water Act § 401 Certification (401 Certification) since September 1999. I have most recently provided technical assistance on water quality issues to the principal author of the 401 Certification, Ann Kenny. I am familiar with the water quality aspects of the 401 Certification, with the Port's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and the acceptable fill criteria developed in the 401 Certification. 2. I have been employed by the Department of Ecology since September 1986. During that time I have held the following positions: Environmental Crime Investigator, Water Quality Inspector, and Supervisor of the Industrial Permit Unit. My educational background includes the following: BS in Biology from Loyola University of Chicago 1975,…

The Corp of Engineers (USCOE) has supplied the Pqrt of Seattle with soil quality information for the Hamm Creek Restoration Project Site located along West Marginal Way, south of Boeing Field. This information includes partial copies of a 1990 site assessment by the Boeing Company, a 1997 USCOE Sampling and Analysis Plan, and a 1997 USCOE Sediment Characterization Report including Appendix C and E. These reports will be placed in the Port files. The review of the site data does not indicate any exceedences of MTCA cleanup levels. The material, therefore, should be suitable for use as fill material for the third runway. Several souJ;ceissues have been evaluated, and should be considered before the Port makes the final decision to accept_the material. Our evaluation of these issues are discussed below, and include responses from the USCOE project manager Pat Cagney, and information received.informally from Pete Rude, a sediment specialistfor Landau Associates, Inc..

The Port of'SenSe has contracted for the placement of'approximately 820,000 cubic yards of soil material in 1998 as the first phase construction of the embankment for the new Runway. The Washington Department of Ecology has requested an elabor_ion of the cr_eria by which the Port will determine the suitability of fill material to be used on the project. The Port has established a process that will assure that appropriate rnam_l will be placed as fill for the project. The process begins with the significant decision to bring to the project only soil material purchased under legal contract by, or already owned by, the Port rather _ to accept material at no cost from various suppliers net under legal contract to the Port. Purchased fill will be brought W the project under contxac_ that include explick technical specifications concerning the quality and type of the fill and the certific_ttionand monitor:ragof that quality, measurements and payment specifications that require satisfaction of the technical specificatiot_ prior to payment; and liability allocation terms that place non-performing parties at very significant commercial risk, C_eria.
