As a water resources consultant at Lidstone and Associates, Inc., I successfully completed interdisciplinary projects on water resources management and development, hydrology, hydrogeology, hydraulics, environmental science, stream restoration, and uranium mine permitting, monitoring, and reclamation. I also worked effectively with diverse stakeholders from local, state and national government agencies; non-governmental organizations; civil society and private industry. Some examples of my project roles and responsibilities include:

  • Managed uranium mining reclamation monitoring projects to evaluate surface water and groundwater quality in Gas Hills; Day Loma; and Shirley Basin, WY
  • Assisted with all-aspects of Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality-Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) reclamation projects including site investigations, consents and clearances, mine reclamation designs and specifications, construction management, and revegetation
  • Managed and completed a Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Assessment (CHIA) of coal mining in the Northern Powder River Basin, WY
  • Conducted fluvial geomorphic evaluations and hydrologic modeling to design river restoration plans that enhanced channel stability, sediment control, floodplain connectivity, aquatic habitat, and riparian communities along the Alamosa River, CO
  • Synthesized water quality, streamflow, geomorphology, macroinvertebrate, and sediment data to evaluate metal contamination in Haggarty Creek, WY and developed a plan to enhance in-basin storage and natural attenuation processes to improve water quality, flood control, and channel stabilization
  • Collected and analyzed surface water, groundwater, and sediment samples for pre-operational in-situ recovery (ISR) mining and wrote and edited portions of the state and federal mine permits
