Project Manager and <br />HDR Tenure <br />Engineer responsible for identifying and analyzing potential landfill sites. This is a long <br />16 Years <br />term project with multiple contracts. The 1,145 -acre site selected is projected to provide <br />Industry Tenure <br />disposal capacity for about 50 years. Public participation was an important part of the <br />21 Years <br />successful siting process. Eric directed preparation of hydrogeologic study, site <br />application, design of site support facilities, and preparation of the permit application. The <br />initial permit application included engineering for seven MSW units totaling 389 lined <br />acres. The site was permitted by SC DHEC. The permit has since been modified to <br />replace a MSW unit with a C &D unit. He oversaw the construction of site infrastructure, <br />including three buildings designed under his direction. Since initial landfill permitting, <br />Eric has prepared bid documents and managed construction of the first bvo cells, and <br />construction of Cells 3 and 4 is pending at this time. <br />Moore County, North Carolina, Landfill Closure. Designed closure plan for 14 -acre <br />MSW unit, oversight of construction, and certified closure. Design of maintenance facility <br />site. Oversaw waterline installation. Design of a 22 -acre C &D landfill unit. Helped <br />County negotiate a C &D landfill permit by addressing potential site contamination issues. <br />Helped County develop a groundwater investigation to provide a preliminary evaluation of <br />the old unlined MSW units at the site. <br />King County, Cedar Hills Regional Landfill Area 6 Cell Development, WA.
