Mr. Morrell is a Physical Scientist with over 4 years of experience working on engineering, environmental, and scientific projects in Guam and Hawaii for both government agencies and the private sector.
EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Andersen AFB, Guam: 1998 - Present
Soil sample collection – Conducted surface and subsurface soil sampling using various techniques and equipment. Samples were collected at remote and potentially hazardous locations. Samples varied in geologic make-up and
analysis required. Standard operating procedures and special handling practices were performed.
Electromagnetic (EM) geophysical surveys – Subsurface anomaly studies were performed using the EM-31 and Schonstedt magnetic locators. Information was logged in data base form and mapped to provide information for further investigation.
Groundwater Sampling – Water samples were collected from wells averaging in depth between 200 and 600 feet. Water was collected using both dedicated and portable sampling pumps. Samples were collected at remote and potentially hazardous locations. Standard operating procedures and special handling practices were performed.
Site reconnaissance and detailed site inventory – Investigated locations containing potentially hazardous waste, unexploded ordnance, and other possible human health risks. Sites were inventoried and information was logged in data base form and mapped to provide information for further investigation.
Oceanit Laboratories, Inc. Honolulu, Hawaii: 1996-1998
Topographic Surveys – Conducted land and shoreline surveys for various purposes using Leica, Sokkia, and Topcon total stations. Experience includes control point, baseline, and boundary surveys, shoreline profiles, and establishing location and elevation of surface features.
Hydrographic Surveys – Conducted hydrographic surveys and mapping of harbors, streams, and rivers for coastal engineering and dredging design purposes.
Water and Soil Sampling – Experience in collecting surface and subsurface water samples in harbors, streams, and the open ocean. Conducted groundwater sampling of shallow and deep wells. Experience in collecting surface and subsurface soil samples. Familiar with proper equipment decontamination and sterilization methods.
Weather Monitoring – Operated and maintained weather monitoring stations used for detecting wind direction and speed, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Equipment was located in remote locations, required solar power, and information was accessed by telemetric means.
Air Quality Monitoring – Operated several remote air quality monitoring systems used for measuring and recording total suspended particulates (TSP) of fugitive dust at large-scale housing and golf course construction sites. Made recommendations for controlling and minimizing emissions and developed management practices to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines.
Plans and Specifications – Experience in creating construction plans and specifications for dredging of harbors, streams, and rivers. Made plans and specifications for erosion protection devices, and sand nourishment on beaches. Experience in creating as-built and cross-sectional drawings.
Environmental Assessments, Permit and Regulatory Compliance – Completed environmental assessments for numerous projects. Permit and regulatory experience includes Corps of Engineers Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Section 301, Nationwide Permit, and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1989. NPDES General Permit, Section 401 Water Quality Certification, Conservation District Use Permit, Coastal Zone Management, and Shoreline Setback Variance. Developed Water Quality Monitoring programs and Best Management Practices plans.
Coastal and Shoreline Management – Conducted coastal/shoreline surveys and assessments for the purpose of determining proper remedial plans and designs including erosion protection devices, dredging, and sand nourishment on beaches.
