Mr. Daley has over fifteen years of professional experience in environmental science. His expertise includes: environmental, hydrogeologic and geotechnical site investigation, environmental remediation, waste management, water supply & wastewater evaluations, and related regulatory compliance. Primary responsibilities include project management, budgeting and scheduling; workplan development; preparation of technical reports and correspondence; permitting, communication & coordination w/ regulatory officials; safety compliance; and data collection, management and quality assurance. General project experience includes waste site investigation; hydrogeologic evaluation & aquifer analysis; groundwater & contaminant modeling; storage tank closure; remediation design & implementation; waste management & disposal; geotechnical investigation, and other technical drilling projects.Project Experience
Mr. Daley was the Project Manager for in-situ bioremediation project at a former trucking facility. He directed and managed installation of the treatment system to remediate a dissolved/adsorbed hydrocarbon plume. Mr. Daley was responsible for reporting, communication, and correspondence to regulatory agencies for acquisition of permits and approvals, and for coordination of agency site inspections. System operation required quarterly groundwater contaminant monitoring, and semi-annual bio-chemistry evaluations.
Mr. Daley was the Project Manager for remedial evaluations at former gasoline filling station sites where he managed the site investigation, and developed site conceptual models, and remedial cost analyses and feasibility evaluations. He prepared contractor bid documents for solicitation of bids for large-scale conceptual soil excavation. Mr. Daley performed SVE, and groundwater extraction pilot testing, and prepared pilot testing report and developed remediation plans .
Mr. Daley managed the comprehensive site investigation and remediation of a perchloroethylene/trichloroethylene release site. Contamination of nearby public water supply wells and complex geologic setting required special assessment methodologies, and QA/QC procedures, which were conducted with a highl level of regulatory oversight, and public involvement. He constructed 3D computer model for mapping/modeling of site geology and contaminant plume, prepared the Preliminary Site Investigation Report, and Workplan for completion of site characterization and initiation of remedial actions. In-situ biological and/or chemical remediation technologies were determined to be most feasible for this site.Mr. Daley provided oversight and coordination of emergency response & clean-up of a large PCB-oil release from an electric generation facility to a marine waterway and adjacent tidal areas. Involvement of EPA, Cost Guard, local officials and numerous contractors presented substantial technical, regulatory and political challenges. Remediation wastes classified as federally-regulated TSCA wastes required special handling & disposal procedures. He designed and implemented a soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment sampling program in accordance with EPA PCB protocols. The site was successfully cleaned-up to satisfaction of EPA, DEP, and local officials. He produced all applicable regulatory submittals and correspondence including Immediate Response Action (IRA) Plan, IRA Completion, and Response Action Outcome (RAO) and Risk Characterization reports.
Mr. Daley installed and operated data collection systems for monitoring of pumping tests; performed numerical analyses for determination of hydraulic conductivity values; and constructed groundwater models for simulations of conceptual pumping conditions for proposed irrigation and public water supply wells and for evaluation of contaminated sites. The computer models were used to delineate Zone II’s for proposed pumping conditions, and to evaluate contaminant transport adjacent to Superfund DNAPL site. Results of modeling provided basis for issuance of water supply permits. He also performed numerous hydrogeological investigations and groundwater modeling for permitting of proposed wastewater treatment systems. The work included pumping and slug tests, installation and operation of data collection systems, numerical analysis of pumping/slug data, and construction of groundwater models for simulation of proposed wastewater injections. Mr. Daley was responsible for preparation of reports of investigations and modeling for submittal with permit applications.
Mr. Daley provided oversight and technical support for clean-up of arsenic residue from pesticide applications at electric substation facilities. He designed and implemented assessment, remedial, wetlands protection and dust monitoring & control plans. During the remediation work, Mr. Daley provided oversight and coordination for management and disposal of waste soils and compliance with municipal and state regulations, and standard occupational safety practices. The Site was successfully cleaned-up to applicable risk standards. Mr. Daley was responsible for producing applicable regulatory submittals and correspondence including Immediate Response Action, Release Abatement Measure Plans, and Response Action Outcome reports.
