PROJECTS
In a career spanning 30 years, I have provided a wide range of environmental services to clients in private industry, Federal Agencies, State governments and municipal entities as a Program and/or Project Manager. During my career, I have completed hundreds of environmental assessment and remediation projects for private commercial and industrial clients. This includes working closely with real estate investors, developers, corporate owners, financial firms, and government entities to identify environmental issues, find solutions to those issues, and provide reliable costs for remedying these issues - on a time scale that meets the needs of the real estate purchasing and refinancing timetables.
I also have extensive experience managing projects for the DoE, DoD, and for the USACE under the BRAC, THAMA, FUDS/FUSRAP and Navy CLEAN programs through direct contracts and as a WBE/DBE/8(a) subcontractor to larger consulting firms.
Latest Projects
SAMPLE 1: CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT, MASSACHUSETTS
Project manager for iterative assessment of chlorinated solvent soil and groundwater contamination utilizing TRIAD methodologies and direct push in situ assessment equipment (MIP/EC and HPT) to delineate the subsurface contamination in an urban environment. I was retained by the site owner following unsuccessful remediation efforts by prior consultants. Evaluations on the site demonstrated significantly different conditions than reported by the prior consultant and revealed that the contaminant plume had not been fully delineated prior to attempting remediation. In addition, new data indicated the presence of potential off-site PRPs. Working with environmental attorney, rendered support and expert testimony in mediation efforts which resulted in settlements with former property owners, off-site PRPs, and prior consultants.
SAMPLE 2: CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT, MASSACHUSETTS
Retained by environmental attorney to assess chlorinated solvent contamination associated with historic and ongoing dry cleaning operations. Was retained by the site owner following unsuccessful assessment and remediation efforts by prior consultant. Evaluations on the site demonstrated significantly different conditions than reported by the prior consultant and revealed that the contaminant plume had not been fully delineated prior to attempting remediation. In addition, new data indicated significant groundwater flow variation in strata on the site and substantial variance in pH in various strata/locations. Assessment is ongoing.
SAMPLE 3: LI TUNGSTEN SUPERFUND SITE
s a subcontractor to an 8a Prime on the Baltimore HTRW Contract for the USACE Baltimore District, Mr. McCarley provided environmental assessment and remediation services from RI/FS through RA for the Li Tungsten Superfund Site in Glen Cove, Long Island, NY. The HTRW Contract was a multiple-award, ID/IQ contract with a total value of $35 million over 5 years.
As the Project Manager, Mr. McCarley managed underwater gamma surveys of Glen Cove Creek, adjacent to the Li Tungsten Superfund Site. Contamination in sediments was associated with tungsten slag from barge loading and unloading operations which resulted in radiological hot spots in the sediments. To utilize the creek for boating, the USACE needed to dredge the channel and the excavated sediments, with radiological contamination, needed to be dewatered and radiological components separated from non-radiological sediments for off-site disposal. The project involved the construction of bermed dewatering cells for receipt of dredged sediments and innovative techniques for detection the submerged contaminants, utilizing GPS dredging techniques to match generated radiological contact locations with the dredge to remove hot spots, and waste management/monitoring of sediments. As part of the project planning process, Mr. McCarley managed the pilot test, planning (SAP, QAPP, APP, etc.), regulatory filings, and field implementation of the selected remedial alternative. Overall management including community relations programs and long-term monitoring programs at the site. Project was conducted under the USACE Technical Planning Process (TPP) management process. Management of the project involved coordination between EPA, the Corps, and various contractors to receive daily approval of generated hot spot locations for removal at depth combined with intervening bathymetric surveys to validate the dredging depth to match planned finished elevations.
