13 Specific Service Requirements
1.B.1 Envlronmental Assessment and Investigation
a. Perform due diligence assessments (Phase I Environmental Site Assessments in Accordance with
ASTM Standards) of property to be acquired by the City, including recommendations regarding the
potential liability associated with a property.
Walsh has conducted well over 1,000 Phase I Environmental Site
Assessments (Phase I ESAs) and Transaction Screens since 1988. Walsh
has extensive experience in conducting the unique type of site
assessments that the City of Fort Collins and other government agencies
often require. Walsh understands how the City of Fort Collins'
requirements for ESA information may differ from those of typical
commercial real estate transactions for which the ASTM Phase I ESA
(ASTM E-1527) and Transaction Screen (ASTM E-1528) standards were
developed.
For example, city government projects may require acquisitions of
numerous properties for transportation corridors (such as Walsh's Phase I
ESA of more than 20 properties for the Timberline Avenue Extension
conducted under our previous contract period). Corridor projects may
require assessment of the risks adjoining properties pose for construction
on City right-of-ways or utility work. We are leaders in managing
corridor Phase I ESAs at low cost, such as our Phase I ESA on 254
Walsh personnel use field
XRFs, petroleum
and solvent field assay
kits, and GPS/GIS units on
various site assessments.
properties for the I-270 extension over 1-25, which was completed for
$53,000 or about $200 per property. Walsh has completed numerous Phase I ESAs for the City for
Natural Areas expansion and infill purposes, including an assessment of a 23,000 acre portion of the
Soapstone Ranch in northern Larimer County, Colorado. We also have performed Phase I ESAs on
properties that are being donated for open space, and properties that must be acquired for roadways,
bikeways, and other local government projects. Walsh is fully experienced in the unique aspects of these
transactions, the need to protect public entities from environmental liabilities, and the sensitive nature of
many of these transactions to the property owners, neighbors, and other stakeholders.
We have successfully balanced our
government clients' need for timely
Phase I ESA information, and their
desire for cooperative relations with
property owners. We understand that
environmental investigations for
public entities have unique aspects,
and these require knowledge of City
objectives and sensitivity to property
owners' concerns, including
environmental issues, tenant
concerns, financial aspects of the
acquisition, and the affects of any
construction.
Walsh provided rapid-tumaround Phase I and II ESAs and building
inspections during demolition of 14 buildings in Aspen for redevelopment.

Walsh
Environmental Scientists and Engineers. LLC
Beginning with a thorough understanding of the City's project needs and objectives, Walsh can efficiently
identify the "appropriate level" of Phase I ESA for all types of properties and circumstances. Experience,
technical expertise, and willingness to exercise professional judgment, have allowed us to efficiently
achieve the "appropriate level" of assessment, and to sort out the useful and relevant conclusions and
recommendations for government projects.
The minimum standards for Walsh ESAs are ASTM Standard Practices E-1527 and E-1528. In addition
to the ASTM standard search, Walsh project staff are experienced in the review of federal and state
agency files, local agency files, aerial photos, building department design plans, and Sanborn and other
fire insurance maps. We have extensive experience interviewing various local emergency responders,
including local fire and health department officials, as appropriate and applicable.
In our 1000+ Phase I ESAs, we have found evidence of existing or former USTs and ASTs; vats,
buildings, and structures with pipe entrances and vent stacks; staining of soils; stressed vegetation;
storage of wastes; partially buried debris and containers; seeps; pipe outfalls; transformers; sumps; septic
fields; ponds; pits; containment structures; odors; recent ground disturbances; floor drains; fill holes;
outbuildings; and many others. Walsh's Property Assessment
Questionnaire, consistent with ASTM Standard Practices,
assures that interviews with owners and occupants
consistently cover the important questions, and are recorded
accurately.
Walsh has been an innovator in presenting complex ESA
findings, including compilation of findings in databases and
summary tables, depiction of findings in geo-referenced
maps, to assist the City in planning and interpretation and
enhance the value of our findings for future users. We have
extensively applied Geographic Information System (GIS)
and image processing software in ESA work. We are
currently developing real-time, web -based site assessment
data input and management systems for our assessment work
at the University of Colorado's Health Sciences Center in
Denver, which will be relocating from Colorado Boulevard to
the Fitzsimons Campus.
b. Perform Phase H Investigations associated with and in
support of the above property transfer due diligence
assessments.
Walsh has completed extensive site
assessment prior to remediation at the
Sheridan Redevelopment Area, a
brownfields redevelopment along the
South Platte River.
Walsh has completed hundreds of Phase II site investigations on a wide range of active and abandoned
industrial and commercial properties, UST and AST fuel storage sites, landfills, railroad and highway
Rights -of -Ways (ROWs), residential areas, and office and retail complexes. We have also conducted
many Phase II investigations of properties affected by mining and smelting activities, at former military

EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
Mr. Dauzvardis has over 1 l years of experience working in the landscape architecture and restoration
ecology fields. Drawing upon his experience in these two disciplines, Jon concentrates on broad scale
landscape ecology and community planning concerns concurrently with fine scale restoration,
enhancement and creation design of aquatic, wetland, riparian and terrestrial ecosystems. As a restoration
ecologist, Jon specializes in the structure, function, change and sustainable processes and practices of
mined, developing, managed or conserved landscapes that affect the health and longevity of wildlife,
habitat and the human condition. As a landscape architect, Jon plays a major role in the visual quality of
landscapes and the integration of natural resource based recreation and environmental education facilities
into relevant projects.
Mr. Dauzvardis' responsibilities as part of the Walsh Ecological Design Team include site inventories and
critical analyses, providing sound regulatory advice, design of natural/indigenous landform, drainages,
native plant communities, bio-engineering/bio-technical stabilization structures, best management
practices, graphic communications and execution of technical drawings, project management, and finally,
construction oversight of all projects related to his expertise.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
SITE ASSESSMENTS AND REGULATORY ASSISTANCE
Mr. Dauzvardis routinely performs site assessments and jurisdictional wetland determinations to assist
clients in site planning, design, and to avoid the permitting processes, if possible. Protocols established
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service among others are used to
assess habitat elements and screen sites for threatened and endangered plants and animals, wetlands,
migratory birds and other wildlife. Jon stresses habitat impact avoidance and minimization to increase the
site's opportunities to minimize regulatory constraints. Notable projects include:

tion and corrective measures study. The objective was to determine if interim
removal action was needed for any of the operable units. The HHRA
assessment team combined historical data with data derived from additional,
focused sampling to develop a risk -based priority ranking to determine if
interim removal action was needed for any of the operable units. Action
levels were set to identify site areas that might pose imminent health threats.
Dr. Freeman then defended the Phase II HHRA work plan before the EPA
Region 5 project manager and legal staff and, upon agency approval,
completed the HHRA using potential receptor populations identified on the
basis of identified potential land uses. Under his leadership, the team
identified risks posed to future industrial/commercial workers and recreational
users by the site as a whole, as well as by its specific solid waste management
units.
In addition, Dr. Freeman investigated possible inhalation exposure to
petroleum -related constituents released from a free -phase petroleum plume
that had migrated off -site. To address possible exposures to residents,
including school children, conservative box models were used to model data
obtained from surface and downhole flux chamber sampling in a residential
area adjacent to the former refinery. The data were modeled as indoor and
outdoor exposure point concentrations. Results of the risk assessment
(submitted to EPA Region 5 as an interim measure) indicated no excess
indoor or outdoor risk even under worst -case conditions, but did indicate that
possible surface contamination unrelated to the client's free -phase hydrocar-
bon plume could be contributing to residential exposure. Dr. Freeman
explained the HHRA results to stakeholders, including the Citizens' Advisory
Panel, so that community concerns could be addressed.

Environmental Scientists and Engineers. LLC
We are highly experienced at both subsurface soil and ground water sampling, and at conducting surface
soil sampling programs. Walsh has designed and implemented hundreds of ground water sampling and
monitoring programs, and soil -gas surveys. Walsh was a leader in Colorado in the use of on -site analysis
in environmental investigations using field screening techniques. We have conducted numerous drum -
sampling projects to characterize unknown materials, including recent sampling and hazard classification
activities in Gulf Coast States in support of the federal governments Hurricane's Katrina and Rita's
environmental response. Walsh is a recognized leader in design and implementation of indoor air studies.
Walsh's subsurface studies have included large and small-scale soil -gas sampling investigations. For
example, we recently completed a complex program of soil -gas sampling in the downtown portion of a
city impacted by substantial diesel fuel contamination in soil and ground water in North Dakota. In
addition, Walsh has completed soil vapor studies at many leaking UST sites and at sites where chlorinated
solvents were released.
Walsh geologists have completed thousands of boreholes to characterize soil and ground water
contamination. We have extensive experience installing and sampling piezometers and monitoring wells,
including specialized techniques such as dual -phase (soil vapor and ground water) wells, wells for
monitoring more than one distinct, hydraulically isolated zone, well clusters, and telescope well
construction to prevent contaminant migration.
Walsh has completed Phase II site investigation activities involving soil sampling, well installation and
ground water sampling at a Turf Farm being considered for acquisition by the City. Significant petroleum
contamination was discovered on surface soils during the Phase I ESA process. The site was assessed for
petroleum, nitrate, and other potential contaminants. Walsh provided technical support and oversight
services during subsequent removal/remediation activities of contaminated environmental media.
c. Provide, on an as -required basis, integrated services for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of
environmental samples (air, water, soil, biota, and wastes).
Walsh provides comprehensive capabilities to collect and analyze samples from any environmental
medium, and to interpret the significance of the data for the City of Fort Collins. With Walsh's in-house
capabilities for sampling soils, water, biota, wastes, and indoor air, and the capabilities of our staff for
sampling and monitoring ambient air and air emissions, our team can satisfy all of the City's
environmental sampling needs.
Our primary analytical subcontractor, Paragon Analytics, Inc. (Paragon) of Fort Collins, can provide
laboratory analyses of a wide variety of contaminants. Additional laboratory support services can be
provided by additional analytical subcontractors Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) and Severn
Trent Laboratories, Inc. (STL). Paragon and STL are full -service environmental laboratories, with
excellent facilities, instrumentation, capacity, staff qualifications, and quality control. Reservoirs will be
Walsh's primary subcontractor analytical facility for the analysis of asbestos and lead -based paint related
samples.
Quality Control. Walsh's staff includes chemists with many years of experience in EPA methods,
quality assurance and quality control, and can provide data quality reviews, and oversight and review of
subcontracted laboratory data for Fort Collins. Our in-house expertise in laboratory analysis and
environmental chemistry provides support to project managers in specification of method proper methods,
and accurate interpretations of data. Our team has successfully served the City's needs for the past 10
years on this contract. Walsh obtains accurate, representative samples in support of all types of site
assessments and investigations. Walsh is experienced in preparing and following Sampling and Analysis
Plans (SAPs) to provide the right information, and meet the DQOs of its clients' projects.

Richard W. Freeman, Ph.D. (Cont.)
Port Fourchon Petroleum Terminal, Louisiana. For Chevron Research
and Technology Company, Dr. Freeman provided overall direction and QA
for E & E's determination of whether risk -based clean-up levels could be
developed for a petroleum site that would obviate the need for dredging and
sediment disposal in a navigable canal. He developed and defended a
voluntary fast -track HHRA for possible exposure to petroleum constituents.
The assessment addressed scenarios for direct exposure (dermal contact with
sediments and surface water) and indirect exposure (consumption of
recreationally caught fish). The results indicated that current sediment and
surface water conditions did not pose excess human health risk. The only
impact of the produced water releases appeared to be on the benthic
community, which currently was shown to be in a recovery phase. The risk
assessment was accepted without comment under the Louisiana Department
of Environmental Quality's new RECAP guidance for risk -based corrective
action.
In addition, Dr. Freeman is developing environmental correlations between
discrete analyses of PAH concentrations and markers such as TPH and oil and
grease, to assist client in determining remediation levels for an adjacent canal
that was not part of the risk assessment.
Automotive Manufacturing Plant, Bay City, Michigan. For General
Motors Corporation Powertrain Group, Dr. Freeman designed and managed
E & E's baseline HHRA to support an application to the Michigan Depart-
ment of Environmental Quality for continued industrial use of the PCB -
contaminated site. Since many worker subpopulations (five were addressed in
the risk assessment) worked primarily outside the manufacturing building, he
devised a weighting scheme that would not grossly overestimate sitewide risk.
He also developed site -specific cleanup criteria for one portion of the site that
was relatively pristine and could be sectioned off for uses not covered under
the baseline risk assessment.
Asphalt Refinery, Mississippi. He developed an alternative cleanup level
for total petroleum hydrocarbons in soil. The new level was significantly
more cost-effective than the one initially considered, because it was based on
class of petroleum compound and used surrogate toxicity values analogous to
recently proposed health -based TPH cleanup criteria
Refinery Litigation Support, Midwestern US. Dr. Freeman provided

studies for hazardous waste sites; and he was Florida-s representative on the
Federal/State Technical Advisory Committee that advises EPA's Office of
Drinking Water on toxicological issues.
Dr. Freeman was the DHRS representative on the Pesticide Review Council of
the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which advises
the State Commissioner on the public health and environmental implications
of agricultural pesticide use. He also represented DHRS on the Asbestos
Council of the Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security, which
reviewed the problem of asbestos in public buildings and proposed legislation
for exposure levels, abatement contractor training and certification, and
contractor liability issues.
Litigation Support
For law firms involved in litigation, Dr. Freeman has prepared state-of-the-art
toxicological evaluations for situations involving alleged exposure to solvents
including TCE, PERC, benzene, and paints, perchlorate; diox-
ins/dibenzofurans; PCBs; perfluorooctanoic acid and salts; manganese; and
lead. He has prepared evidence -based causation analyses for NHL, leuke-
mias, endometriosis, thyroid cancer, hypothyroidism, and multiple myeloma.
Midway Village, Daly City, California. Dr. Freeman supported the
successful defense of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in a toxic
tort lawsuit concerning the Midway Village site, where a California public
housing project had been built near a former manufactured gas plant. To
address plaintiff self -reported complaints and claims regarding exposure to
PAHs in soil, he grouped residences within the project area by soil PAH
concentration, determined where and for how long each resident had lived
there, then used data from the remedial investigation and public health and
environmental evaluation (prepared earlier by E & E) to qualitatively evaluate
any possible dose -response relationship between PAH exposure and claimed
injuries. Dr. Freeman grouped area residences by soil PAH concentration
(>10 ppm, 1-10 ppm, <10 ppm) and determined from project records where
and for how long each plaintiff had lived within the site. The analysis clearly
demonstrated the lack of dose -response for any of the more than 90 self -
reported complaints. At trial, the suit was dismissed after the plaintiffs'
opening argument.
Air Quality Litigation Support, Houston, Texas. He provided expert
toxicological support to an E & E client's attorney (King & Spalding) during
litigation concerning air quality in the area of a major fuel pipeline fire that
ec,jiop and environment. ine_

Richard W. Freeman, Ph.D. (Cont.)
had occurred during a major Texas flood. Using data available from post -
incident sampling in the incident vicinity and modeled data of air concentra-
tions over the course of the four -day event, he showed that any increased
cancer or noncancer risk was insignificant. He also showed that ambient
exposures in the incident area yielded higher risk estimates than those
attributable to the incident itself. In addition, Dr. Freeman identified major
mischaracterizations in reports filed by plaintiffs' experts regarding the effects
of exposure to benzene, PAHs, and other gasoline/crude oil components.
Medical Monitoring Settlements, Kansas City, Missouri. Since
1997, for a major Kansas City law firm, Dr. Freeman has managed E & E's
provision of scientific and litigation support on issues related to medical
monitoring, carcinogenesis mechanisms, and models used to estimate costs for
treating smoking -related illness.
Investigations of DNA Repair Mechanisms, Kansas City, Missouri.
To support other court cases of the Kansas City law firm, he managed E & E's
compilation and summation of current scientific information concerning DNA
repair mechanisms. He managed a similar data compilation/summation
project regarding the consequences of lung stem cell mutation.
International
Environmental Damage Claims, Kuwait. Dr. Freeman participated in
E & E's evaluation of the environmental and public health impacts of the
1990-1991 Iraqi aggression of Kuwait. He designed a methodology to
determine increased disease rates caused by the eight -month loss of medical
infrastructure that was related to the invasion. He reviewed disease reporting
data compiled by the Kuwait Ministry oh Health and established a critical
level of disease rate increase. For each identified disease/medical condition,
he determined the pre- and postaggression incidence and rate values. The
process resulted in the identification of over 30 conditions to provide a basis
for the loss valuation analysis. The morbidity data were compiled in a
computer database to enable interactive data analysis and graphics prepara-
tion. In addition, Dr. Freeman conducted an initial evaluation of the impact of

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
STREAM & RIVER RESTORATION PROJECTS
GYPSUM CREEK FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT, GYPSUM, COLORADO
Aquatic habitat improvements along Gypsum Creek included both instream and bankside treatments. Instream
treatments served to improve deepwater habitat, create flow separation or concentration zones, increase low
flow sinuosity, provide instream cover, improve adult fish habitat, create nursery areas, and enhance spawning
opportunities. Bankside treatments for aquatic habitat improvements included creation or enhancement of
overhead cover, provision of protective cover and enhancing shading, cooling, and nutrient cycling functions.
Bank protection treatments served to correct localized bank instabilities and reduce bank erosion and the
potential for sediment deposition downstream. Because the Gypsum Creek corridor was in very good
condition initially, the enhancement work was designed following a "don't do more harm than good"
philosophy. Only low intensity, low impact treatments were utilized. Only small, rubber -tired construction
equipment was allowed onsite and only in specified reaches where established microhabitats would not be

Air Sampling and Monitoring. With Walsh's air quality specialist, Dr. Arthur Mizzi, we can provide
comprehensive air sampling and monitoring programs to meet any objectives the City may seek. We
have experience and expertise in ambient air sampling for particulates (PM10), ozone, emissions
sampling and monitoring, characterization of aerosols, and all types sampling and monitoring for
compliance with the Clean Air Act, completion of Air Pollution Emission Notices, and other applications.
Walsh is also a recognized leader in the sampling of indoor air for chemical contaminants, as well as in
characterization of airborne biological hazards such as molds.
Water Sampling and Monitoring. Walsh has extensive experience in both ground water and surface
water sampling. We have conducted hundreds of sampling programs that have characterized the nature
and extent of ground water contamination by the widest variety of contaminants. We have used all types
of drilling techniques and sampling methods to meet project objectives. We are experienced with
standard well logging, video logging, natural gamma, and neutron density logging of our well borings.
We successfully employed innovative, low -volume (no -purge) sampling methods for VOCs at a site in
Golden to improve sample quality and minimize investigation -derived waste. We have used all types of
direct -push and traditional drilling methods to obtain ground water samples. We have conducted surface
water sampling and monitoring programs at a number of waterways along the Front Range.
Soil Sampling. Walsh offers comprehensive expertise in the sampling of both surface and subsurface
soils. For example, we designed and conducted large-scale residential soil sampling programs at
neighborhoods near the Globeville Smelter site in Denver, and around Leadville, Colorado, among others.
In addition, Walsh has completed a surface soil sampling project at City Parks and Natural Areas to assess
potential impacts of storage and use of chromate, copper, arsenate pressure treated lumber. We are
experienced with soil sampling using exploratory borings and test pits. One of Walsh's founders, Jim
Walsh, is a Certified Professional Soil Scientist with 33+ years of professional experience in all aspects of
soil sampling design, soil classification, and the application of geostatistical methods in soil studies.
Walsh has characterized the nature and extent of subsurface soil contamination at hundreds of sites,
including UST and AST sites, sites with chlorinated solvent, pesticide, PCB and other industrial
contaminants, metal, and radionuclide contamination.
Biota Sampling. Walsh frequently samples and analyzes terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Our Ecology
Group comprises 13 staff members in Boulder, including a Certified Wildlife Biologist, a plant ecologist,
restoration ecologists, Professional Wetland Scientists, a fisheries biologist, landscape architects and field
technicians. They provide technical support in biological sampling programs for Ecological Risk
Assessment; threatened or endangered species surveys; small mammal inventories; floristic inventories;
benthic and fish surveys, and others. We maintain the equipment necessary for such sampling, including
small mammal traps, seine nets, petit ponar dredges, kick nets, and stereoscopes.
We have completed a variety of projects involving sampling of biota, including:
■ Stream habitat assessment/ fisheries habitat inventories
■ Ecological risk assessments of mining facilities
■ Baseline investigations for numerous oil and gas projects throughout the world
■ Baseline investigations for numerous Windfarm facilities in the Intermountain West
■ Toxicological investigations of acid mine drainage impacts
■ Risk Assessment of a defense contracting facility in Utah
■ Environmental Impact Assessment for a telecommunications cable landing project in California
• Threatened and Endangered (T&E) species surveys to support ESA Consultation
■ Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
• County and Municipal natural resource inventories

during the soil replacement and planting phases. Mr. Gurnee' also provided follow-up monitoring and
reporting to ensure the successful establishment of the wetland habitat.
RIVER POINT, SHERIDAN, CO
Mr. Gurnee was a member of the team that assessed, permitted and designed the natural and aesthetic
features of this brownfields project. The project included a naturalized water quality swale and riverfront
improvements which complement the aesthetics and ecology of the South Platte River corridor. The
project integrates the design and themes of the commercial/retail development and the Englewood Golf
Course renewal; utilizing natural, "bio-engineering" and "bio-technical" techniques to repair and maintain
channel and stream bank stability, and using native vegetation to enhance and restore habitat. This project
also addresses the interface of proposed restaurants, a regional greenway trail, and the River through
planning and design of nature trails, interpretive nodes and overlooks/access features that will function to
both stabilize banks and help connect people with the River.
THE CLUB AT FLYING HORSE GOLF COURSE, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO
Mr. Gurnee conducted an assessment of wetland habitat, impact avoidance and minimization and Section
404 of the Clean Water Act permitting for a 1500-acre mixed use development and Weiskopf golf course
design being implemented by Neiber Golf. The project also included the design of native prairie roughs,
meandering stream channels and native wetland meadows within the golf course.
UPPER CLARK FORK RIVER BASIN SUPERFUND PROJECT, ANACONDA AND BUTTE, MT
Mr. Gurnee delineated the project, developed an impact assessment, and provided regulatory negotiation
on behalf of Atlantic Richfield Company, including the master planning and design of approximately
900-acres of wetlands and terrestrial habitat required under a Superfund consent decree. This project
creates wetland from massive soil borrow pits and will potentially be the largest inland wetland mitigation
and creation project in the United States.
DEPT. OF ENERGY, PRIVATE MITIGATION BANK, WESTMINSTER, CO
Mr. Gumee provided the project assessment, design, permitting, mitigation banking instrument
negotiation with USACE and USEPA, and construction supervision of a 12-acre wetland mitigation bank
for the Department of Energy in Westminster, CO. It should be noted that this was the first private
mitigation bank negotiated in Colorado, and as such it assisted in setting the precedent for future
negotiations.
WETLAND MITIGATION ASSOCIATED WITH STANLEY LAKE PROTECTION PROJECT
As project manager, he provided assessment, design, permitting, and construction supervision of an 11
acre wetland and wildlife habitat mitigation project in Westminster, Colorado. The project provides
compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the construction of the Stanley Lake Protection
Project.

Sampling of Wastes. Walsh provides waste sampling services to help our clients properly handle and
dispose of materials in containers such as drum, vats, and tanks, according to standard practices such as
ASTM E-300-73 and EPA guidelines. For example, Walsh staff completed abandoned drum sampling
and characterization activities at a City -owned property and provided disposal coordination support and
oversight during subsequent over packing and removal of liquid wastes. At an abandoned warehouse in
Denver, Walsh sampled 97 drums of unknown liquids, and managed the disposal and recycling of both
hazardous and non -hazardous wastes. At the Sheridan Redevelopment Brownfields site, Walsh recently
sampled 163 drums and containers of unknown materials.
Walsh sampled wastes in large diameter, unused sludge digestors for the City of Fort Collins at its
Mulberry Treatment Plant. Because the wooden covers of the sludge digestors were decayed and
considered unsafe, Walsh safety specialists devised means of suspending workers over the large vats
using a crane, cables, and safety harnesses.
Walsh has extensive experience in the proper characterization of waste soil piles. Our staff have sampled
and characterized soils at hundreds of sites for recycling as clean fill, as road base under a Memorandum
of Understanding between CDOT and CDPHE, as solid waste for disposal at local landfills, or for
disposal as special- or hazardous wastes.
d. Design and perform subsurface soil and ground water investigations associated with leaking
underground tanks, release of hazardous substances, or other environmental impacts. These services
are to include the capability of providing drilling and sample collection, and analytical and laboratory
services.
Walsh has completed hundreds of investigations of UST and AST sites over the past 18 years, including
dozens of investigations as a contractor for Colorado's Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program.
Our work for the State Department of Labor and Employment - Oil and Public Safety Section (OPS) has
characterized releases into soil and ground water at sites all around the state. We have provided drilling,
sampling and analytical services to the OPS and to numerous private clients at hundreds of such sites.
We have been leaders in the use of innovative sampling, field screening, and field analysis methods.
Walsh provides comprehensive services for the investigation of releases of all types of hazardous
substances, and other environmental impacts. Walsh provides drilling oversight, sampling, chemical
analysis, health and safety plans, sampling and analysis plans, data collection, permits, and site -specific
safety training. A subsurface study generally includes soil gas sampling and analysis, soil boring
installation, soil sampling and analysis, monitor well installation, ground water sampling and analysis,
data interpretation, and conclusions as to the potential source(s) of contamination.
As needed, the Walsh project manager will meet with the City representative to complete an initial site
evaluation plan. Walsh will review all site assessment documents and other environmental information
prior to development of a sampling and analysis plan (SAP). The SAP will provide the rationale for
sampling and analysis and the selected methodology. It will include description of planned construction
and disposal activities, sampling methods, laboratory analysis methods, Quality Assurance/Quality
Control (QA/QC) and chain of custody procedures, and a site Health and Safety Plan (HASP).
Borehole drilling will be used to sample the subsurface soils and further characterize the extent of
impacted soil and ground water. Boreholes provide samples for lithologic, geochemical and geotechnical
analyses, and serve to identify locations for monitor well installation. A Walsh geologist will provide on -
site supervision of the drilling crew, and will ensure proper sample collection.
e. Advise the City in matters associated with contaminant transport, hydrogeology, geology,
environmental chemistry, and related disciplines needed to assess the potential environmental exposure

Environmental ScTcntists and Engineers. H.0
Walsh's professional geologists, hydrogeologists, geochemists, organic chemists, and industrial hygienists
work together to fully characterize contaminant transport and other issues related to potential
environmental impacts from releases of hazardous substances. These services are often provided in
relation to litigation, where Walsh conducts modeling and contaminant transport studies to determine
responsibilities for environmental contamination. For over 7 years, Walsh was the primary environmental
consultant to ASARCO for the California Gulch CERCLA site in Leadville; this project involved
extensive contaminant fate and transport studies.
Our staff has modeled contaminant pathways in soil, soil vapor, ground water, and surface water. We
have employed flow models, and two- and three-dimensional models for projects at sites including
Colorado manufacturing and asphalt -testing facilities, California oilfields, Nebraska gasoline terminals,
and Kentucky coal slurry spills.
f. Advise the City on matters associated with
Superfund, state mandated cleanups, underground
storage tank programs, voluntary cleanup program,
and other investigative type programs. Prepare Spill
Prevention and train employees on SPCC plan
procedures.
The environmental scientists and regulatory
specialists at Walsh assist our clients in complying
with local, state, and federal environmental
regulations. Topics have included the full range of
environmental regulations, including CERCLA and
RCRA issues, UST regulations, waste management,
OSHA and other safety programs, and numerous Walsh performed strategic project oversight and health
other issues. We have also assisted Colorado clients and safety services on behalf of the City during the
with the state's Voluntary Cleanup and Poudre River Removal Action by remediation
Redevelopment Act (VCRA) program, designing and contractors.
completing voluntary cleanups at a number of sites.
Walsh has recently completed voluntary clean-up (VCUP) application preparation/Phase II site
investigation activities at a Former Municipal Landfill resulting in a no further action (NFA)
determination being approved by CDPHE representatives. Findings of the Phase II site investigation have
likely saved the City several hundred thousand dollars in supplemental assessment and remediation costs
at the site. We also have experience under the EPA's Brownfields Program, helping the City of Fort
Collins obtain a $250,000 grant, and providing Brownfields site assessment services to Fort Collins,
Denver, Aurora, Louisville, and Lakewood.
Because the majority of our work is performed in Colorado, Walsh has worked closely with the
regulatory agencies, such as CDPHE and OPS, who oversee many of the environmental issues that the
City is likely to encounter. As a result, we have an in-depth understanding of their requirements and
review processes. Walsh has obtained CDPHE approval for dozens of corrective actions, corrective
measures plans, interim corrective measures plans, disposal plans, and material management plans.
Walsh has conducted a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan seminar for the City.
In addition, Walsh has developed and updated SPCC Plans for the City's Fleet Services facility and at
various electrical substation facilities operated by the Utility Department.

Carl E. Mach, Ph.D. (Cont.)
Statewide Hazardous Waste Investigation/Remedial Design
Program, Oregon. Dr. Mach has worked on numerous sites under E & E's
program for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The sites
include McCormick & Baxter Creosoting Company on the Willamette River,
the Nu -Way Oil Company site near the Columbia Slough in Portland, the
Portland Harbor Superfund site, and the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal
Facility near Hermiston. For these and other projects, he had a key role in
designing and implementing the risk investigations; preparing reports; and
skillfully presenting complex and sensitive issues at meetings with regulatory
agencies, natural resource trustees, the public, and other stakeholders.
Columbia Slough, Portland, Oregon. For the City of Portland Bureau of
Environmental Services (BES), Dr. Mach conducted ecological risk
evaluations concerning sediment contamination in the Columbia Slough, a
large suburban wetland system. The project included the collection and
analysis of fish and plant samples to determine the extent of contaminant
uptake and storage, as well as the performance of toxicity bioassays to
determine contaminant bioavailability at selected high -priority sites. Dr. Mach
designed and implemented field investigations, prepared ecological risk
assessments and other deliverables, coordinated with regulatory agencies, and
helped BES develop remedial approaches to improve the ecological condition
of the Columbia Slough by limiting pollutant input. Finally, he helped
prepare the sampling and analysis plan implemented by BES staff to monitor
sediment and water quality within a constructed 26-acre wetland being used
for stormwater treatment.
Oeser Wood -Treating Facility, Bellingham, Washington. For EPA
Region 10, he evaluated the ecological risks resulting from releases of PCP,
dioxins/furans, and PAHs to a stream ecosystem. The work included
bioaccumulation testing to evaluate uptake to wildlife prey, sediment toxicity
testing to evaluate impacts on benthic life, and food -chain modeling to assess
wildlife risks.
International
Environmental Damage Claims, Kuwait. Dr. Mach provides expert
consultation on the ecological impacts of oil contamination in Kuwait, in
support of E & E's project to assist the State of Kuwait in evaluating,
quantifying, and claiming compensation for the environmental damage caused
by the 1990-1991 Gulf War.

and shorebirds. He designed and implemented field investigations to evaluate
the biological uptake of metals and fluoride in aquatic and terrestrial food
chains and was a principal author of the baseline ecological risk assessments.
The work included the collection of water, sediment, invertebrate, fish,
vegetation, and small mammal samples for analysis of key chemicals of
concern and development of site -specific biological uptake factors. The site -
specific data from the aquatic and terrestrial studies helped to significantly
reduce potential uncertainties in the quantitative risk assessment. Dr. Mach's
work was performed in cooperation with the Shoshone -Bannock Tribe, whose
reservation (adjacent to the site) was potentially threatened by the identified
contaminants.
Additional ARCS Sites, Idaho and Ohio. For the ARCS 9/10 program,
he developed guidelines for and conducted ecological risk assessments at
Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in central Idaho.
Under the Region 5 ARCS program, to support the screening ecological risk
evaluation for the True Temper Sports site in Geneva, Ohio, he performed
screening to identify contaminants of potential concern in soil and sediment,
evaluated fate and transport mechanisms, and interpreted the ecological
significance of site contamination.
Statewide Programs for Alaska DEC, Alaska. Since 1996, under
E & E's statewide contamination assessment and water quality contracts with
the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (Alaska DEC), Dr.
Mach has been a member of the E & E team that reviews ecological risk
assessments prepared by other contractors for various sites statewide,
including coastal sites in southeast Alaska and forested and tundra sites in the
state's interior. He is assisting the agency at the Red Dog Mine (one of the
world's largest, currently operating lead and zinc mines), where ore
concentrate has contaminated extensive areas of freshwater, marine, and
terrestrial habitat. The reviews helped ensure that the assessments were
scientifically sound and that the conclusions drawn were appropriate and
adequately protective of state resources. Dr. Mach also develops ecological
risk assessment guidance documents that are used statewide for Alaska's
Contaminated Sites Remediation Program.
Fort Devens Military Reservation, Leominster, Massachusetts. Dr.
Mach supported remedial investigation/feasibility studies for several sites as a
team member for E & E's multitask hazardous waste site investigation
program for the United States Army Environmental Center.

Miami River Aquatic Toxicity Study, Miami, Florida. In 1996, for an
E & E client, Dr. Mach evaluated the possible impacts of discharges of
ammonia -contaminated groundwater on the sensitive natural resources of
southern Florida. He investigated water quality, including levels of ammonia,
both upstream and downstream from the client facility, compared the
ammonia levels with federal water quality criteria for the protection of aquatic
life, and examined possible ecosystem effects of site -related ammonia releases
on the Miami River.
Railroad Acquisitions and Mergers. For the Federal Surface
Transportation Board, Dr. Mach evaluated ecological risk as part of E & E's
review of the EIS for acquisition of the Conrail railroad system by CSX and
Norfolk Southern in the 23 states east of the Mississippi River. In support of
the Union Pacific/Southern Pacific railroad merger, he evaluated ecological
risk as part of the review of preliminary mitigation plans for the Truckee
River Corridor near Reno, Nevada. The ecological risk evaluation was
particularly important, since the river is the water source for both the City of
Reno and Pyramid Lake, which supports the federally listed endangered Quiui
fish.
Lake Trace Metal Studies, Wisconsin. At the University of Minnesota
at Minneapolis, Dr. Mach designed, implemented, and interpreted field studies
on the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals in an experimentally acidified
Wisconsin lake. He was the coauthor of several professional publications and
presented the research results at professional symposia. In addition to his
research, he instructed and supervised laboratory technicians.
Aquatic Toxicity Evaluations, Minnesota. As a junior scientist at the
University of Minnesota at Duluth, he designed and conducted laboratory
experiments to compare the results of multispecies, community -level aquatic
toxicity tests. He conducted statistical analyses of experimental data and
prepared project progress reports. During earlier work as a teaching assistant
at the university, he instructed student laboratory sessions in general biology,
botany, and limnology. As a science abstractor with EPA's Environmental
Research Laboratory in Duluth, Minnesota, he critically reviewed and rated
publications concerning the toxicity of chemicals to aquatic organisms, for
inclusion in EPA's Aquatic Information Retrieval (AQUIRE) database.
Computer Skills. Dr. Mach is experienced in the use of a variety of
spreadsheet programs, word-processing programs, graphics packages,
statistical packages, and water quality models for IBM-compatible personal
computers.

g. Advise the City on issues associated with the use and release of petroleum fuels, chlorinated solvents,
PCBs, metals and other constituents that may represent a threat to human health and the environment.
Pollution Prevention. We can assist the city in evaluating environmental and safety concerns related to
using hazardous materials in various operations, including vehicle maintenance, physical plants, and the
wastewater treatment plant. Walsh staff can identify potential alternatives, and when ongoing waste
streams are unavoidable, Walsh can evaluate the situation and make suggestions to minimize waste
generation or increase recycling and re -use. We have evaluated and redesigned processes at municipal
and industrial wastewater treatment plants to increase efficiencies and reduce waste generation. In
addition to the services provided to the City of Fort Collins, Walsh has provided consulting services for
hazardous and toxic material use and release for the Cities of Arvada, Denver, Loveland and many others,
the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority, the Department of Energy - Rocky Flats Plant; the US Army Corps
of Engineers, Rocky Mountain Arsenal; CDOT; OPS, and Unocal.
Response to Releases. Through our emergency response contracts that we have held or are currently
holding with the City of Boulder, Boulder County, City of Loveland, and several biotechnology
companies, we often responded to releases of hazardous materials. These have included spills/releases of
pesticides, gasoline, sewage, lubricating oil, solvents, cleaning chemicals, asbestos, biohazards, and many
others. We have conducted numerous uncontrolled substance releases and drum -sampling projects to
characterize unknown materials, including recent sampling and hazard classification activities in Gulf
Coast States in support of the federal governments Hurricane's Katrina and Rita's environmental
response. We rapidly determine the nature and extent of the spill, and implement control and cleanup
measures. We provide state-of-the-art sampling programs to identify and quantify hazardous constituents.
While we understand that the City has a separate contract for emergency response, Walsh is able to
provide backup response capabilities if required.
Disposal of Wastes. Our staff is able to characterize, manifest, pack and arrange for transportation and
disposal of solid, special or hazardous wastes. Disposal has ranged from small quantities of packaged
laboratory waste to thousands of tons of contaminated soil. Walsh routinely manages waste disposal from
remediation projects. Major waste types have included petroleum, RCRA hazardous, TSCA, ACM, and
PCBs. We assist the client in all waste disposal procedures and in finding appropriate and cost-effective
disposal or treatment options. Walsh recycles waste as commercial products whenever economically
feasible, thereby saving costs and limiting client liability. Walsh has provided the City sampling and
hazardous waste disposal coordination support for lead wastes at the Firing Range facility on a continuous
basis for the last six years.
h. Perform Asbestos & Pb-based paint inspections for demolition, renovation, and on -going
management of asbestos -containing materials. Advise the City in matters associated with asbestos -
containment soils.
Experience. Walsh is Colorado's leading asbestos/lead/hazardous materials inspection, design and
management firm. We have conducted asbestos/LBP work for the cities of Fort Collins, Longmont,

182 Remedlal Technology Selection and Implementation
a. Evaluate the impact of environmental releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products on
soil and in groundwater.
During any remediation project, the first step is to evaluate the available data and fill gaps, if necessary.
As detailed in Section I.B.I of this proposal, Walsh is an expert at assessing the environmental impact of
hazardous substances and petroleum products in soils and ground water. Our expertise includes
determination of the nature of the contamination, estimated volume of contaminated material, mobility,
persistence, toxicity and degradability of contaminants, current and potential exposure pathways, extent
and degree of contamination and relation to water resources, potential and actual receptor populations,
and potential health effects. We will utilize this expertise to gather the additional data required by our
engineers during the remedial design phase.
If a risk -based remedial action is contemplated, we are fully capable of conducting the required human
health or ecological risk assessments. Walsh routinely conducts risk assessments as an integral part of
our assessment and remediation projects. We are able to provide Risk -Based Corrective Action (RBCA)
Plans according to ASTM standards, and employ ASTM RBCA software. Risk evaluations projects have
included evaluation potential effects on the community; potential impacts to ground water, drinking
water, and streams and rivers; appropriate cleanup levels for anticipated land usage; potential air
pollution; and on selected projects, impacts to ecological receptors, and standards for non -regulated
contaminants.
b. Determine the technologies that would be applicable to mitigate the concerns caused by release of
hazardous substances or petroleum products.
For each unique site and circumstance, Walsh evaluates both the technical and economic feasibility of
potentially viable remedial technologies, identifies the most cost-
effective alternatives, and considers current and future liabilities,
as well as schedule requirements. We have experience with all
the following technologies for remediation of petroleum products
and hazardous substances:
■ Pump -and -treat remediation of contaminated ground water
■ Sparging/vapor extraction of soils and ground water
■ Monitored natural attenuation of soils and ground water
■ In -situ bioremediation of soils and ground water
■ Ex -situ bioremediation of contaminated soil
■ Vacuum removal of contaminated sludge
■ Soil washing
■ Product skimming from ground and surface water
■ Thermal desorption of contaminated soils
■ Fixation of lead in soil
■ Treatment wetlands for contaminated surface and ground
water
■ Building decontamination and demolition
■ Excavation, transport, and disposal of contaminated soils
At a former pesticide warehouse in
Northeastern Colorado, Walsh excavated
and disposed of thousands of cubic yards of
soil contaminated with petroleum, solvents,
radionuclides, heavy metals, "special waste,"
and other hazardous wastes.
When needed, our engineers conduct pilot testing or feasibility studies to further refine our
recommendations for the most appropriate technologies to use at a specific site. Walsh scientists have
conducted feasibility studies for hazardous waste remediation for clients such as the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management (several sites), State of Colorado (four CERCLA sites), EPA Region VIII (Clear Creek

At the former Naval Oil Shale Reserve #3 at Anvil Points near Rifle, Colorado, Walsh conducted the Site
Investigation and remedial design activities for an Engineering Evaluation/Cost analysis (EE/CA) under
subcontract to the U.S. DOI Bureau of Land Management. Mr. Spencer was the site investigation
manager on the project and has managed a variety of site investigation activities including geophysics,
drilling, trenching, surface water sampling, and a mine adit hazard evaluation.
TABLE MOUNTAIN RESEARCH CENTER- VOLUNTARY CLEANUP PLAN
Mr. Spencer served as the consultant project manager and principal author for Teck Cominco Limited
(Teck) to perform a Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCUP) at the Table Mountain Research Center
(TMRC) in Golden, Colorado. The VCUP includes remediation of trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated
ground water by injecting chemical oxidants in the source areas and downgradient wells. Oxidants
including potassium and sodium permanganate were injected under multiple technologies including
gravity feed, pressure injection, and hydro -fracturing depending upon hydrogeology at each well.
Contaminant concentrations have been reduced over 95% in source areas. The site is undergoing
remediation as part of a settlement between the Colorado School of Mines Research Institute (CSMRI),
the property owner, the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), and Teck, a former tenant whose operations
are alleged to have caused TCE contamination of the site. The VCUP was approved by the CDPHE and

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER.
As Program Manager for Walsh's service contract with the City and County of Denver, Mr. Spencer
served as Project Manager on a wide variety of projects. Key projects include:
• Maintenance Facility Contingency Plan. Mr. Spencer served as program manager for a
Contingency Plan (CP) prepared for the City of Denver maintenance facility. The Roslyn Street
Facility includes five buildings, the Rocky Mountain Fire Training Academy offices and training
grounds, an asphalt batch plant, and a hazardous waste accumulation area. The facility provides
maintenance for City and County of Denver equipment, including police and fire vehicles. In
addition, vehicle fueling, fire training, and traffic support operations are conducted at the faculty.
The facility uses and stores hazardous materials in the various buildings and the hazardous waste
storage area. Walsh prepared the CP in compliance with the Resource Conservation and
Recycling Act (RCRA), which requires that all large quantity generators of hazardous waste
address the procedures to be followed if there is a release of hazardous waste or hazardous
constituents. The CP includes agreements with emergency providers, management approval of
the CP, and the content requirements of a contingency plan as set out in RCRA. Procedures to be
followed are provided in the event of spills, fires, explosions and natural disasters. Individual
facility operations are described in detail with each building at the Roslyn Site addressed
separately. The contingency plan was designed to minimize hazards to human health and the
environment from fires, explosions, or any release of hazardous waste constituents to air, soils,
surface waters, or ground water.
Contaminated Materials Management Plan. Mr. Spencer prepared a materials management plan
for redevelopment of a large urban industrial parcel for the City of Denver. The scope of work
included sampling and analysis of soils excavated from approximately two city blocks. The
purpose of the investigation was to determine if the soils were contaminated with industrial
chemicals or RCRA regulated heavy metals and determine the waste classification for disposal or
recycling. Laboratory analyses were compared with appropriate regulatory and guidance
documents to classify waste and provide clean-up standards. Material management options were
provided including treatment, institutional controls, or offsite disposal at an approved facility.
Phase 1 and Phase H Environmental Site Assessment, Annex. Mr. Spencer was project manager
for environmental assessment prior to re -construction and expansion of a large office complex for
the City and County of Denver. The scope of work included an ATSM Phase I ESA, asbestos and
lead -based building inspection, and a Phase II subsurface investigation. The Phase II including
sampling and analysis of soils and groundwater to determine classification of excavated materials.
Ground water quality was assessed to determine treatment requirements prior to de -watering
discharge under a NPDES permit. A geophysical survey was performed using ground -
penetrating radar to map subsurface features such as tanks or foundations. The investigation was
completed on a rapid turnaround basis, allowing the project to proceed with no delay due to
environmental concerns.
SITE INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION OF A WAREHOUSE CONTAINING HAZARDOUS WASTE
Mr. Spencer managed this project where WALSH characterized the contents of 97 drums containing
unknown substances found in a warehouse purchased by a state department of transportation for highway
improvements. The contents of each container were analyzed for volatile and semi -volatile organic
compounds as well as Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous characteristics that
included the eight regulated Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure metals. Analytical results were
used to determine the RCRA status (solid or hazardous waste) of the drums and formulate a disposal plan
to ensure regulatory compliance and limit the client's potential future liability for the disposed wastes.
Following drum disposal, soil borings were drilled and monitor wells installed at this site to determine the

impact that improper chemical storage, handling, or disposal may have had upon soil or ground water
quality.
SITE INVESTIGATIONS AND REMEDIAL ACTION, DOE ROCKY FLATS PLANT
Mr. Spencer managed investigative and remediation services on ten separate Operable Units at the DOE
Rocky Flats Plant under various subcontracts. Under the RI/FS program, over 2,000 soil gas samples and
shallow soil were collected and analyzed. RI/FS investigations are conducted under the terms of the
interagency agreement between U.S. DOE, U.S. EPA, and the Colorado Department of Health. The
purpose of soil gas surveys is to provide screening level data and initial definition of subsurface
contaminant plumes associated with past disposal practices and accidental releases. Surveys have been
conducted within operating and closed landfills, evaporation ponds, and drum storage/disposal sites. In
addition to radionuclides, contaminants of concern comprise a wide range of volatile organic compounds
including chlorinated solvents, hydrocarbons and various degradation byproducts.
• Soil gas surveys have proven to be the most economic method of acquiring large quantities of
subsurface data with short turnaround times. The surveys have been used to refine drilling and
monitor well locations and to acquire preliminary data for conceptual design of vapor extraction
remediation systems. WALSH'S system, while portable, attains much lower detection limits and
superior analyte identification over the field grade GCs used by most contractors.
■ For the site ecological risk assessment, a large-scale survey of soil invertebrates was conducted in
the buffer zone surrounding the plant. The purpose of the study was to determine the potential
migration and impact of radionuclides on the microbiotic community surrounding the plant.
■ Under Waste Management and Remediation, Mr. Spencer managed the Accelerated Sludge
Removal Project (ASRP) at Rocky Flats. The Solar Evaporation Ponds contained mixed
hazardous/radioactive liquid process wastes from industrial operations. Because of the potential
environmental hazard from leaching into ground water, DOE committed to emptying the ponds to
meet regulatory deadlines. After several unsuccessful attempts to treat and dispose of the material
by others, WALSH was contracted to empty the final two ponds and transfer the material to an
on -site interim storage facility. High volume air vacuum tanker trucks were employed to empty
the ponds of all liquids and sludge. WALSH designed and constructed a specially modified all
terrain tractor to slurry the solidified salt sludges. The system was designed and built at a fraction
of the cost of the robotics systems proposed by other consultants. The project was completed
ahead of schedule, which saved the client from potential fines totaling hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
■ Under the Remediation Feasibility Program, Mr. Spencer managed the Phase I and Phase II Soil
Vacuum Pilot Projects Accelerated Sludge Removal Project (ASAP) at Rocky Flats. The Solar
Evaporation Ponds contained mixed hazardous/radioactive liquid process wastes from industrial
operations. Because of the potential environmental hazard from leaching into ground water, DOE
committed to emptying the ponds to meet regulatory
REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION, ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL SUPERFUND SITE
He served as the site manager for the comprehensive water quality/quantity monitoring program (Task 4)
for the U.S. Army remedial investigation (RI) of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal from 1985 through 1988.
The RI concerned a combined pesticide and chemical ordnance manufacturing facility. This program
involved a combined network of over 1,200 monitor wells and surface water stations. Mr. Spencer was
responsible for developing and implementing technical plans, supervising operations, overseeing quality
control audits, and compiling data. The program was designed to establish a comprehensive database for
use in litigation concerning an area of hydrologic contamination.

d. Prepare necessary reports and submittals, both for the City and any other relevant regulatory or
public agency.
Reports we regularly submit for regulatory approval include Site Investigations (Sis), Material
Management Plans, Remedial or Corrective Action Plans, Closure Plans, Asbestos —Contaminated Soils
Work Plans, and VCUP Plans. We also regularly obtain permits and approvals for remedial action from
state and local agencies. This includes obtaining approval of cleanup goals for complex projects from the
CDPHE. Permits we have obtained include construction dewatering, land application, and surface water
discharge permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and state
equivalent programs; air pollutant emission notices (APEN) under the Clean Air Act; monitoring well
permitting with the State Engineer's office; and leaking storage tank reimbursement applications with the
Department of Labor and Employment — Division of Oil and Public Safety. We have completed a
comprehensive Use Attainability Analysis (UAA) for the U.S. Air Force at F.E. Warren AFB in
Cheyenne that addresses water quality in streams impacted by the base.
Our use of image -processing, graphical presentation of contaminant data, the presentation of site findings
in tabular and database format, and the use of color graphics in our remediation plans have been
acknowledged for their innovation and value and have been praised by CDPHE reviewers for their clear
presentation of complex information. Our focus is on value to the client, by effectively conveying the
findings and objectives of the work to readers. We also strive to create a complete, accurate and
accessible archive of information for our client's use, long after the project is complete.
e. Excavate and contain hazardous and non -hazardous contaminated materials.
Walsh subcontractors can excavate and contain petroleum and solvent spills or releases, chemical
hazards, asbestos, lead, and other types of hazardous materials. Walsh has excavated and handled both
hazardous and non -hazardous contamination at numerous sites, from small-scale removals of containers,
and drum -sized quantities of contaminated soils, up to large-scale removals involving many rail cars and
truckloads. We have performed large-scale removals of PCB and dioxin -contaminated soils, soils with
biohazards, solvents, and industrial chemicals. We have also performed numerous emergency -response
containments and removals. During our four-year Emergency Response contracts with both the City and
County of Boulder, we responded to dozens of emergencies in the Boulder area, which included
containment of gasoline, pesticides, sewage, lubricating oils, pool chemicals, and other contaminated
waste materials. We have also provided environmental oversight during excavation of former controlled,
uncontrolled, and medical landfills. This has involved segregation, containment, and disposal of
hazardous and non -hazardous materials.
Walsh field personnel are equipped with portable instruments for measuring such hazards as explosive
gases, organic vapors, radioactivity, respirable dust and other threats. Field measurements of soil, water
and air samples often permit on -site determination of handling methods, and our know-how has reduced
the cost of materials handling. Walsh scientists provide support for applications of innovative field
measurement technologies including immunoassays, colorimetric methods, and others. We maintain spill
response and containment equipment. Walsh has active, as -needed contracts with specialized cleanup
contractors for additional emergency response support including vacuum trucks, large booms and
skimmers, etc.
f. Collect and/or treat contaminated water.

■ For the U.S. Forest Service, Walsh assessed and provided remediation designs for the collection and
treatment of groundwater impacted by acids used for solution mining at a copper mine near Cuba,
New Mexico
■ For the City of Sioux City, Walsh conducted extensive ground water treatment following removal of
100 fuel tanks
■ In Nebraska, we used active bioremediation to treat oil that was seeping into a large detention pond in
a petroleum refining/storage facility
• In Colombia, we worked with Occidental Petroleum to improve treatment of produced water that was
being discharged to the surface during oil production activities
■ For CDOT, Walsh installed and operated a packed -tower air stripping system to remove
pentachlorophenol from surface water accumulating at a construction excavation site
Other major water treatment programs have been conducted for Amoco, Arvada Urban Renewal
Authority, the CDLE-OPS, and CDOT. Our senior engineer has more than 25 years experience working
with the EPA to determine waste minimization procedures and guidelines for a variety of industries.
g. Provide post -cleanup site assessment, following appropriate site closure activities.
Walsh has written hundreds of project closure reports, including a number for CERCLA sites that have
been submitted for agency review and have been approved. On "clean" closures (i.e. in which
contaminant levels have been reduced to below regulatory levels), Walsh has prepared post -closure
reports when required, and has successfully completed many quarterly ground water monitoring programs
as part of closure activities. We manage and maintain remediation systems as long as required to obtain
regulatory approval for closure.
On closures where hazardous or contaminated materials remain, such as in on -site landfills, we conduct
the long-term monitoring required by the CDPHE. We are also adept at creating institutional control
programs that allow hazardous materials to remain in place with strict guidelines as to their handling. For
example, we have created institutional controls for TCE-contaminated ground water under apartment
buildings and single family homes in Denver, for hundreds of asbestos- and lead -containing buildings,
and for pesticides under buildings and parking lots at the Mesa County Airport.
1.B.3 Eco%gica/Assessment and Permitting
a. Design and conduct assessments of the impact of various programs... on ecological receptors such as
riverine and wetland environment and terrestrial habitats.
Walsh's Ecological Restoration and Ecological Services Groups have performed assessment services for
hundreds of projects throughout the U.S., averaging over 40 assessment projects per year. Our thirteen -
person team comprises seasoned professionals with backgrounds in wildlife biology, wetland ecology,
riparian ecology, botany, environmental planning, environmental law, landscape architecture, water
resource management, civil engineering, restoration design, construction cost estimation and construction
management.
Typical assessment projects include EAs, Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), wetland delineation
and functional analyses, floodplain delineation and modeling, T&E species surveys and habitat
characterization, stream and river surveys, floristic inventories, and weed management surveys. Recent
examples include:
Walsh is currently completing the revision to the time -sensitive Roan Plateau Resource Management
Plan Amendment for the BLM, addressing all ecological resources.

Environmental Site Assessment and Closure under Voluntary Cleanup and
Brownfields Programs, City of Fort Collins
Walsh helped the City win an EPA Brownfields Grant of $250,000 for assessment in the Poudre River
Corridor. Walsh performed a large-scale multi -property (133 parcels) modified Phase I ESA of the
corridor. Walsh completed extensive Phase II site investigation work under the Brownfields rant, and
has worked with the City to resolve contamination issues
prior to redevelopment. Issues in the corridor have included:
former rail lines and sidings; passenger and freight depots;
Harmony & Ranchway mills; a concrete batch plant, storage
yards, a light and power plant; a sugar plant; a pickle plant; a
city dump; the Poudre Valley gas plant; and numerous light
industry, commercial and residential locations.}
Walsh has prepared an Application under Colorado's VCRA
program for a No Action Determination for the former City
landfill along the banks of the Poudre River in the Downtown
Corridor. The VCUP application concisely summarized
historic site investigation data generated by a multitude of
environmental consultants. This NAD request was recently
approved by CDPHE representatives.

groundwater contamination, the former Poudre Valley Gas
Plant Site, and completed an extensive Phase II sampling program. Our work identified an ongoing
release of coal tar liquids to the Poudre River, and lead to extensive involvement of EPA in evaluating the
concerns limiting future development in the Corridor. In addition, a recently completed Phase II site
investigation has documented that a regional chlorinated solvent ground water plume is not being caused
by former landfill activities but is related to an unidentified off -site source. Walsh provided continuous,
comprehensive technical support to the City through the multi -year completion of an approximately $17
million remedial action at the site by the responsible parties. The resolution of this major contamination
issue will allow the City to proceed with an estimated $7 million investment in a new community center,
and other revitalization projects.
Walsh also assisted the City by providing recommendations on potential environmental liabilities
involved with potential public acquisition of private property, and with a variety of public meetings for
the project. In addition, we produced and maintained a public web site for the City that describes the
environmental issues within, and proposed development of, the river corridor during principal site
investigation work.
We have assisted the City with Public Outreach, with printed materials, web -based information, and
presentations at public meetings. We have provided Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs), Sampling
and Analysis Plans (SAPs), Health and Safety Plans (HASPS) and numerous reports to Fort Collins under
this program. Our Phase II Field Sampling Plans have been accepted by EPA Brownfields staff, and have
been successfully implemented.
Walsh assisted the City with the river restoration aspects of the Cache La Poudre River cleanup project
acting as a liaison throughout the project, from the initial negotiation of restoration requirements, through
the construction process, and the negotiation of maintenance and monitoring requirements. During the
design development phase, specific tasks included the review and editing of design plans and

specifications, and attendance and recommendations during design development and coordination
meetings. During this phase Walsh provided specialized expertise in river restoration design,
bioengineered bank stabilization measures, instream habitat enhancement, and riparian corridor
restoration. Walsh assisted the City with oversight of the restoration and landscape contractors,
recommendations for specific construction methods, and assistance with logistics.
Walsh engineers are currently developing designs and specifications for the vapor intrusion protection
system for the new Northside Community Center building. Walsh is also preparing Sampling and
Analysis Plans for indoor air monitoring at the new building. This work is being done under the approved
NAD with the State's Voluntary Cleanup Program. The work will assure that public health and safety are
protected and the new structure fully complies with the Reasonable Steps and Institutional Controls
required by the CERCLA removal action at this site.

Inspections, Abatement/Demolition Plans, Oversight, and Remediation of
Contaminated Soil for Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority and Other Clients
At the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, Walsh has provided environmental consulting services
for site and roadway development over the course of several years. Our tasks have included:
■ Assessment and oversight of abatement and demolition of 113 buildings and associated utilities
such as steam tunnels, vaults, and direct buried piping; and
■ Remediation of soils contaminated with diesel free product.
The 578-acre Fitzsimons site is undergoing a $4.3-billion renovation and transformation into a square
mile dedicated to in -patient care, education, basic science research and bioscience research and
development.
Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Tasks. Walsh has provided asbestos, lead -based paint and
hazardous materials building inspections; demolition and abatement design; and demolition and
abatement oversight. These were completed on a fast -track approach, using multiple Walsh inspection
teams. We also provided oversight of many remediation and demolition contractors for the following
entities at Fitzsimons:
■ Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority — 41
Buildings
■ City of Aurora — 14 Buildings
■ Xcel Energy Company — 4 Buildings
■ State of Colorado — 8 Buildings
■ University of Colorado Health Sciences Center —
46 Buildings
Inspections were conducted in accordance with EPA,
CDPHE and OSHA requirements. The inspections were
following regulatory guidance for demolition projects.
We also inspected painted components for lead -based
paint. Walsh inventoried regulated materials in each
building that were considered universal waste, hazardous
waste or other regulated material.
Walsh conducted asbestos and lead
inspections, prepared remediation design, and
provided abatement and demolition oversight
for 113 buildings at Fitzsimons.
Inspection of interior spaces included destructive investigation necessary to identify hidden and concealed
materials such as piping behind walls or inside chases. Destructive investigation was crucial in
identifying asbestos -containing linoleum located under multiple layers of non -asbestos flooring.
Inspection of exterior spaces included inspection of exterior stucco systems. As part of the exterior
stucco inspection, Walsh was able to conclusively implement a system for inspection and abatement of
asbestos -containing "patching material" installed over cracks as part of historical repair activities. With
the use of the on -site laboratory, Walsh was able to determine the extent of the patching material on a
real-time basis, saving time and money. This system saved millions of dollars, because other consultants
had misinterpreted the data and classified the entire exterior stucco system as containing asbestos.
Inspection, abatement design, and abatement of crawlspaces have been conducted using techniques
targeted to remediation of contaminated soils. This has ensured proper removal of contaminated soils,
while avoiding unnecessary time and expense of soil remediation in crawlspace areas without
contamination. Walsh's extensive experience with crawlspace and asbestos/soil contamination issues has
yielded design specifications that ensure efficient yet effective removal, including use of vacuum
Page B-12

technology, coupled with measurement systems to ensure and document that asbestos contamination has
been removed in accordance with regulatory standards.
As part of site redevelopment, removal of the extensive underground utilities, including water, electrical,
gas, sewer and steam lines, including vaults and tunnels, have been inspected and remediated prior to
demolition.
During the course of site excavation activities at Fitzsimons, several areas have been identified as having
asbestos -containing debris mixed with soil -- the result of historical demolition of structures prior to
regulation of asbestos. Acting as liaison between building owners and CDPHE, Walsh has been
instrumental in developing standardized soil remediation flow charts and protocols that provide consistent
and cost-effective methodology for addressing asbestos contamination in subsurface soils. Walsh's
experience at Buckley Air Force Base, Lowry, and other asbestos/soil contamination projects provided
valuable experience in this area. Walsh was also instrumental in cost recovery efforts by providing site
characterization information, technical review, and cost estimating.

Walsh handles many projects that require regulatory assistance and ultimately, permit approvals. Once
ecological constraints are identified and delineated during the ecological assessment phase, we typically
hold a strategy meeting with the client. During the strategy meeting, Walsh provides recommendations
regarding avoidance and minimization of impacts, potential design modifications, and regulatory
strategies which help to make projects more cost- and time -effective. More complex projects may also
require a pre -application meeting with the regulatory agencies to confirm strategies.
We have developed excellent, long-term relationships with the federal, state and local regulatory
communities in Colorado. This experience and insight allows us to guide our clients through the
regulatory process in the most expeditious manner.
Additionally, Walsh maintains a database of grant funding opportunities for both private and public
restoration, habitat and recreational resource improvement projects. We have assisted municipal and
other clients in preparing applications and receiving federal, state and local grant funding.
Our regulatory and permitting services for ecological projects include:
■ Avoidance, minimization and alternatives analyses (strategy development)
■ Pre -application meetings with federal, state and local regulatory agencies
■ Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 404 and 401 Permits, violation resolution and mitigation banking

properties. More than 90 boreholes and trenches were
undertaken, and hundreds of waste, soil, and
groundwater samples were collected and analyzed.
Building and Property Inspections. Walsh conducted
asbestos, lead -based paint, and hazardous materials
assessments of 35 buildings and their contents, as well
as 136 drums and containers of chemicals and other
equipment, materials, and debris located on the
properties.

other documents. The VCUP was approved by the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) on April 18, 2006. The intent of the
VCUP was to provide a clear path to implementing a remedy that supports redevelopment. Additionally,
it helped assure the investors and insurance brokers that the work was approved by the State. Following
the completion of the VCUP, Walsh, on behalf of the General Contractor, wrote a Contractor's Plan of
Operation. The purpose of the this Plan was to secure a Comfort Letter from CDPHE stating that not
only would the work be done in accordance with the VCUP group, but also in accordance with the Solid
Waste regulations. This was keenly important due to assuage the State's concerns that the landfill could
be destabilized due to Site activities. The CPO included the Design Analysis Report for the Water
Quality Swale that provided the design justification for running the WQS alignment across the landfill
cover.
Remediation and Other Engineering Designs. During
excavation of landfill materials, a variety of measures are
being taken to minimize nuisance odors to local residents.
This includes limiting the area of landfill excavation, and

Walsh provided
environmental consulting
services for Szymanski -Ray
and Obermeyer
Redevelopment Corporation
for the redevelopment of a
city block in Aspen
containing 14 commercial
and residential structures.
Walsh provided a significant
level of coordination and
communication with the

buildings, Walsh conducted
a Phase I ESA to identify potential issues on the property.
Asbestos/Lead/Hazardous Materials Inspection and Oversight. As tenants vacated each building,
Walsh provided fast -track completion of inspection by conducting destructive investigations to ensure
hidden and/or concealed materials were discovered and addressed.
Inspections were done under the protocol
described in project description #1 (above). In
accordance with EPA and CDPHE regulations,
materials determined to be RACM were
removed prior to building demolition. Walsh
provided an abatement design document for the
removal of all RACMs and other regulated
materials. Walsh also provided abatement
oversight during the project, providing
inspection and air monitoring for regulatory
and contract compliance. Communication,
tracking and scheduling with the abatement
contractor, demolition contractor, general
contractor and owner under the fast -track
approach was also part of the abatement
oversight function. Advanced regulatory
notification and scheduling allowed the
abatement contractor to commence building
preparation within hours after the tenants
vacated a building, ensuring the buildings were
on -schedule for demolition.
The hazardous materials inspection not only evaluated
those regulated materials within the building structures
themselves (e.g. mercury vapor lamps, thermostats,
etc.), but also materials left inside the buildings by
occupants, such as those shown here. This included
drums of chemicals, tires, and many other items that had
to be disposed of with special handling.

Walsh's inspections identified vermiculite loose fill insulation material in the hollow cells of cement
masonry units used to construct the exterior and interior walls of several large warehouse buildings. Due
to ongoing EPA vermiculite cleanup actions at Libby Montana, Walsh conducted a compliance review
with EPA, CDPHE and OSHA requirements since regulation and policies regarding vermiculite are in
flux. Walsh also reviewed state-of-the-art analytical procedures including the "Cincinnati Method"
currently under review by EPA as potential methodology for analysis of vermiculite insulation. This
effort provided the owner and contractors with confidence and knowledge to demolish the buildings
containing the vermiculite insulation in a safe, yet cost-effective manner.
The structures were inspected using a field portable XRF for the presence of lead -based paint for purposes
of hazard communication to the demolition contractor, and to identify those structures subject to
hazardous waste determination requiring supplement TCLP testing and analysis. Walsh conducted a
"hazardous building component" inventory for each structure to identify typical building components that
potentially contain hazardous materials, and that may require special handling, disposal and/or disposition
of these materials. The removal, handling and disposal of hazardous materials were included in the
abatement design. Additional hazardous material inventory was required as tenants vacated buildings, to
ensure proper disposition of regulated/hazardous materials left by tenants (paints, chemicals, tires, etc.).
The following materials were addressed by
the building inspection:
■ Sand oil interceptor trench
■ Computer equipment (lead, mercury)
■ Cooling/refrigeration equipment
(CFCs)
■ Fluorescent lamps (mercury)
■ Light ballasts (PCB -containing)
■ Mechanical equipment (fluids)
■ Mercury gauges/thermometers
■ Mercury thermostats
■ Mercury vapor lamps
■ Rechargeable batteries
■ Storage tank/vessel (fluids)
■ Transformers (PCB -containing)
■ Stored chemicals and paints
■ Smoke detectors
• Computer equipment
■ Batteries
■ Propane tanks
■ Tires
The Phase II ESA identified lead and other metals in soils
from a former assay office and mine tailings dumps. Walsh
treated 10,000 cubic yards of soils, and disposed of the
most contaminated portion in a landfill (after ensuring that
the landfill acceptance criteria were met). The clean portion
was used as road base at a nearby road construction
project.
Phase II ESA and Remediation of Contaminated Soils. During and after the demolition phase, Walsh
conducted a Phase II ESA that determined the presence of lead and other heavy metals in soils beneath
the buildings. These came from a former mineral assay office on the property, as well as mine tailings
that had been disposed of on the property. Walsh characterized and segregated the tailings, and treated
over 10,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils with lime to stabilize the metals at a level below the 1 ppm
detection limit. Following stabilization, we ran TCLP tests to ensure that the soils met the acceptance
criteria of the landfill. This also allowed some of the material (that was cleanest) to be put to beneficial
re -use, most of which was used during construction of a nearby roadway as road base. By doing this,
significant disposal fees were saved.

...(fork with the City to ... perform ... human health and ecological risk assessments.
Walsh has the experience and expertise to manage any human and ecological risk assessment projects the
City may require. Walsh has successfully provided human health risk assessment on some of the most
high -profile contamination issues in Colorado. For example, we provided human health risk assessment
of the indoor air impacts from a chlorinated solvent ground water plume in Denver and Glendale,
Colorado for CDOT. This risk assessment was the pioneering work on the risks of chlorinated solvents in
indoor air from contaminated ground water. The risk assessment was approved by the CDPHE's RCRA
Program, and formed the basis for remedial actions at this and other sites around the state and nation.
We have also used health risk assessment to assist clients with evaluation of hazards presented by
asbestos contamination in soils.
Walsh has demonstrated our ability to provide high quality risk assessment services to its clients using the
expertise of our parent company, E&E, Inc., and using subcontracted risk assessment professionals.

Open Space, Trails, and Parks Master Plan for the City of Thornton: Walsh provided ecological
services in conjunction with a city-wide management plan that included identification and evaluation of
important wildlife, vegetation, and aquatic resources and recommendations for future acquisition and
management.
Wetlands Permitting and Threatened/Endaneered Species Support for Jefferson County: Walsh
provided support to the Jefferson County Open Space Department in conjunction with planned
development of visitor facilities at three open space parcels. Facilities included parking lots, picnic
shelters, restrooms, trails, and trailhead signage associated with passive recreational use of the Flying J
Ranch, Mount Galbraith, and Beaver Brook parcels.
Resource Inventory, City and County of Broomfield: Walsh is currently participating in design of the
Section 30 Recreation Center, which has included issues related to prairie dogs and biotreatment of
stormwater runoff. Walsh has also conducted a resource inventory and is developing long-term use and
management scenarios for The Field and Brunner Reservoir in the City of Broomfield. Issues addressed
included conversion of cropland to native grassland, as well as the preservation and enhancement of an
existing wetland complex.
Open Space and Trails Prairie Doe Management Policy, City and County of Broomfield: Walsh
recently completed a prairie dog management policy, developed in concert with City staff and the Open
Space and Trails Advisory Committee, to address prairie dog control, relocation, or preservation on
public and private lands within Broomfield.
Ecological Evaluation, City of Longmont Parks and Recreation: Walsh evaluated ecological
conditions of the Sandstone Ranch open space parcel and helped prepare a long-term management plan
that identified areas to be preserved, areas to be enhanced, and areas to be restored. Walsh developed
design specifications for the open space and ballfields portions of the site, including trail alignments.
Prairie Dog Mapping Survey for the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks Department
Walsh recently completed a mapping survey of black -tailed prairie dog colonies for the City of Boulder.
The purpose of the survey was to obtain accurate colony size, location, and ecological condition data, as
well as information concerning surrounding land uses and existing barriers or constraints to colony
expansion. Methods used in the study were designed to be easily repeated for future tracking of colony
size and status, using a GPS receiver unit for on the ground mapping and GIS data analysis.
Threatened or Endaneered Species Clearance and Habitat Enhancement Desien Centennial Bike
Path - Proiect for the City of Boulder Transportation Department: Walsh conducted T&E surveys
(with emphasis on Preble's meadow jumping mouse, Ute ladies' -tresses orchid, and Colorado butterfly
plant) for a bike path project located along 1-kilometer multi -use trail along a major canal and riparian
corridor. Although T&E species were recognized as unlikely to occur, obtaining formal clearance from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was a City requirement. For the same project, Walsh designed,
provided construction for, and has conducted monitoring of a habitat enhancement project on the canal.
City of Louisville Open Space Department - Ecological Services: Walsh participated in an inventory of
ecological resources on city -owned open space land. The project resulted in development of a
management plan that made recommendations for future uses of the parcels and nearby lands that would
balance the need for transportation corridors and passive recreational (e.g., trail) uses where appropriate
while preserving or enhancing areas of special ecological value. The latter included the Coal Creek
riparian corridor, some areas of semi -intact native grassland, and areas to be used by the City for
relocation of prairie dogs.

in soils. We reviewed the Baseline Risk Assessment and Relative Bioavailability Study prepared by
EPA. This included verifying the risk model results and reviewing input parameters to determine if the
BRA provided a reasonable estimate of actual risk posed by the site.
Defense Department Contractor Indoor Air Investigation and Human Health Risk Assessment: At a
defense manufacturer's plant in Littleton, a ground water plume containing TCA and DCE extends over
300 yards. When solvents were discovered in the ground water in surrounding residential areas, the
CDPHE directed the owner to determine whether vapors might be impacting indoor air quality. For the
Human Health Risk Assessment, we developed a list of compounds of toxicological significance and
evaluated risks and exposure pathways for very low concentrations of a variety of solvents. We
developed an air sampling program and sampled 50 homes on a quarterly basis.
Human Health Exposure/Risk Assessment for Heavy Metals Utah: At the Sharon Steel site in
Midvale, Utah, Walsh/E&E prepared a third -party exposure/risk assessment to determine the need for
removal action at an old smelter and milling site located south of Salt Lake City.
Ecological Risk Assessment, Mojave National Preserve, California: For the National Park Service, Dr.
Mach (of Walsh/E&E) oversaw the ecological risk assessment for a lanthanide mining site where decades
of tailings disposal had resulted in contamination of part of the Mojave National Preserve, threatening
critical habitat for many desert wildlife species. We reviewed work plans; data evaluation reports; and
ecological risk assessment deliverables prepared by other consultants.
f.C.7 Air -Related Projects
Litigation Support for Diesel Fuel Release, Mandan, North Dakota: At a spill site in North Dakota,
Walsh investigated the potential for diesel -related contaminants in groundwater to have migrated through
soil vapor into indoor air. The site was characterized by a LNAPL (light non -aqueous phase liquid) pool
estimated to contain 3 to 5 million gallons of diesel fuel.
Air Quality Consulting for Power Plant: For an electric utility company in Washington State, Walsh is
currently evaluating the air emissions impacts for the conversion of a coal fired power plant to new,
cleaner burning technology. Walsh is calculating the emissions reductions that will occur, and evaluating
options for modifying or appending existing air emissions permits.
Air Emissions Permitting for New Cement Plant: For a Peruvian cement company that is opening a
new limestone quarry and adjacent cement plant in northern Arizona, Walsh is currently evaluating
emissions that will emanate from the plant and preparing air quality permit documents to submit to the
State of Arizona.
Air Emissions Evaluations for BLM: For the BLM, Walsh evaluated air emissions (including fugitive
dust from vehicle traffic on unpaved roads and emissions from gas wells and pipelines) that would result
from a revised land use management plan for the Roan Plateau area west of Rifle, Colorado. Five
different land use management scenarios were evaluated, and the potential emissions for each scenario
were calculated and compared to evaluate impacts to air quality in the region.

systems for buildings in Denver which had vapor intrusion from TCE, DCE, and methane. For the City
of Fort Collins, Mr. Hudson developed and led an EPA -hosted workshop on Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure plans. Prior to joining Walsh, Mr. Hudson was on the environmental engineering staff
of a major oil company where he directed a production department's air quality affairs; ensured
compliance with local, state, and federal regulations; and conducted field inspections; site assessments;
environmental audits and training.
For the Colorado Department of Labor — Division of Oil and Public Safety, he has been senior engineer
on two UST remediation sites in Brush (Brady Oil and Majestic Roofing). He also participated in the
design of remediation systems for soil and groundwater contamination at the Colorado State Patrol
maintenance garage in Denver, and on the widening of Highway 287 in Broomfield.
He recently conducted technical reviews of five CERCLA engineering evaluations prepared for mine sites
in Nevada and Arizona. Mr. Hudson also performed engineering oversight on an RI/FS for groundwater
remediation of a mine in New Mexico, and completed a CERCLA engineering evaluation for the Anvil
Points Facility near Rifle, Colorado. He was senior engineer on the demolition design for 113 buildings
at the Fitzsimons campus in Aurora.
James Cowart, PE: Senior Environmental and Civil Engineer, Boulder
Mr. Cowart has 32 years of experience as an environmental engineer, project manager, and expert
witness. He has experience in water, wastewater, water resources, solid waste, air pollution, hazardous
waste, environmental assessments and impact statements, and assessment and remediation of soils,

EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
Ms. Ash is a Professional Engineer in Colorado with 13 years of experience in water resource engineering
and ecological restoration in the inter -mountain west and other regions of the country. She specializes in
stream corridor restoration with an emphasis on natural sustainability and habitat improvement. Ms. Ash
has worked on a broad range of projects from river restoration, including stable channel design,
streambed and bank stabilization, bioengineering treatments, instream structures, and aquatic, wetland,
and riparian habitat improvement, to wetland mitigation design, surface water control, erosion and
sedimentation control, mine site remediation, and water feature development. Project components have
included site evaluations, impact assessments, grading and planting plans, hydrologic and hydraulic
analyses (including HEC programs), geomorphic analyses, water budgets, water distribution systems,
volume estimation using AutoCAD Land Desktop software, construction oversight, construction cost
estimation, and monitoring and maintenance plans.
Ms. Ash has extensive construction support and fieldwork experience on engineering and ecological
restoration projects. Construction support services include site layout, survey checks, onsite guidance for
design plan implementation, environmental compliance assistance, troubleshooting and field
modifications, general operations support, and as -built surveys. Fieldwork expertise includes preliminary
assessments and jurisdictional delineations of wetlands and waters of the U.S. and existing conditions
assessments for stream and wetland projects, including cross -sectional and thalweg surveys and reference
reach and site feature mapping using GPS, auto level, and total station.
Ms. Ash also has extensive experience on wetland permitting and mitigation projects in Colorado and
Florida. She has performed wetland mitigation monitoring for Section 404 permit compliance to assess
vegetative survivability and composition, undesirable plant species invasion, wildlife utilization, and soil
and hydrologic conditions. Her work has included impact assessments and design of replacement wetland
habitats to meet local and Federal permit requirements.

Paee 3
study methodology utilized the United States Geological Survey (USGS) PHABSIM suite of models,
capable of developing habitat indices for the above resources and being integrated with proposed
hydrology downstream of the reservoirs in order to assess the effects of different project operations to the
target resources.
CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT AT INACTIVE MINE SITE, JAMESTOWN, COLORADO
Ms. Ash designed a channel realignment and surface water control plan in support of a mine site
remediation for an 11-acre inactive fluorspar mine located in the foothills of Boulder County, in the Town
of Jamestown, Colorado. The project was conducted as a Voluntary Cleanup Project (VCUP) under the
State's Voluntary Cleanup and Redevelopment Act (VCRA). Goals of the remediation were to reduce
surface and groundwater interaction with contaminated materials to improve water quality in downstream
receiving streams and to reduce onsite safety hazards and liability. Remedial activities consisted of
surficial waste rock removal across the site, formal closure of onsite adits and shafts, subsidence pit fill
and mounding, realignment of an intermittent tributary, surface water runoff management, and site -wide
revegetation. Ms. Ash designed the realigned channel to imitate the function and appearance of the
natural channel's step -pool configuration. Small, closely spaced rock drop structures were specified
along the channel for energy dissipation and to create flow variability. While the channel was designed to
withstand flows in excess of the 100-year storm, the surface treatment for the channel bed utilized soil
and rock gradations found in the natural channel. The bed material will be mobilized in storm events and
can be naturally scoured to create localized pools, imitating functions occurring in the reaches above and
below the diversion channel. Low flow notches in the drop structures increase sinuosity and encourage
low flow concentration to prevent overly wide, shallow flow, which is a common constraint to aquatic
habitat. Ms. Ash also designed the surface water control plan for the mine site, which provides safe
conveyance of runoff flows and prevents detrimental rilling. Additionally, the controls effectively
separated clean runoff from potentially impacted water, optimizing the site for future treatment options.
WASTE LOAD ALLOCATION ASSESSMENT FOR INACTIVE MINE SITE, JAMESTOWN, COLORADO
For this project, she conducted preliminary sreamflow estimations in support of waste load allocation
assessments within the drainage system below an inactive mine site. Streamflow calculations included
approximation of discharge -frequency relationships for low flows (i.e., acute and chronic low flows) for
known points of concern throughout the watershed. Discharge information was used to preliminarily
estimate allowable water quality conditions in downstream receiving streams. The assessments are
designed to be repeatable and refined as better data are collected from numerous proposed monitoring
stations.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGN FOR MINE SITE REMEDIATION, FAIRFIELD, UTAH
Ms. Ash designed a three -channel system for surface water control at a Utah mine site. The channels
drain small basins, however, the design flows are in excess of the 100-year flood event — and often in
excess of the 500-year event — such that adequate protection is provided to the tailings repository. The
design included protection for tributary drainages entering the remediation site from several surrounding
canyons. A series of check dams were included in the design to provide grade control, an important
insurance measure to the adjacent repository, and to reduce flow velocities and scour potential. More
natural and less expensive grass -lined channels were specified in lower flow and lower risk areas. A
naturalized vehicle crossing was designed for one of the grass -lined channels, using a Geoweb porous
pavement system. In addition to a more aesthetic look, the Geoweb system is more functional as it avoids
the impacts associated with typical, impermeable paving.
LEFT HAND CANYON RESTORATION, BOULDER COUNTY, COLORADO
Ms. Ash conducted a hydrologic analysis and channel network design for a high elevation meadow,
located within a heavily used Off -Highway Vehicle (OHV) area in Left Hand Canyon. The meadow had
been severely impacted over the years resulting in loss of vegetation, increased erosion, compacted soils,
and destabilization of a small tributary of Left Hand Creek. Restoration activities reestablished the
upland meadow habitat, repaired denuded "hillclimbs", improved surface water runoff conveyance, and
helped protect the incised tributary. The hydrologic analysis provided a scientific basis for site drainage

performed sound surveys at various locations, and performed air -monitoring studies using personal and
ambient air monitors. These tests have measured airborne lead, dust, sulfuric acid, radon, mold, VOCs,
asbestos and other agents. He also has performed exhaust gas measurements at manufacturing facilities.
VOLUNTARY CLEANUP
Mr. Baltzer has cleaned up abandoned mines, spill sites, and a salvage yard under Colorado's Voluntary
Cleanup Program (VCUP). These voluntary cleanup plans defined remediation that was cost-effective,
thorough, and approved by the State and EPA. He and Walsh Environmental were awarded a Certificate
of Appreciation from the US Forest Service for performing a successful voluntary cleanup of a mine near
Independence Pass, Colorado, enabling a land exchange that was "recognized by the Chief of the Forest
Service as being the best example of a land exchange for Fiscal Year 2004".
PERMITTING
Mr. Baltzer has prepared environmental permits for storm water discharge, dewatering, demolition,
surface mining, mine reclamation, air emissions, well installations, and landfill operations. He has
worked with most Colorado and Federal regulatory agencies to obtain a variety of environmental permits
and has developed close working relationships with many regulators.
UNDERGROUND FUEL STORAGE TANKS
Mr. Baltzer has managed all aspects of above -ground and underground fuel storage tank removal,
characterization, planning, remediation, reporting, and closure for dozens of leaking tank facilities. Work
conforms to the Colorado Department of Labor, Oil and Public Safety Section's criteria for assessing,
remediating, and closing sites. He has successfully managed the reimbursement of funds expended by
clients from the Oil and Public Safety reimbursement fund. He is certified to perform this work in
Colorado.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
Other projects Mr. Baltzer has performed involve the application of environmental regulations, geologic

d. Design site revegetation and restoration projects
Walsh staff have been designing and building stream, river, wetland, riparian and wildlife habitat projects
throughout the U.S. for over 22 years, including project for the City of Fort Collins. In the past eleven
years, our staff have designed and implemented projects in the Poudre, Arkansas, Blue, Colorado, Eagle,
Roaring Fork, San Miguel, South Platte and Yampa River basins in Colorado; the Snake River basin in
Wyoming; the Clark Fork and Boulder River basins in Montana; the Gila River basin in Arizona; and the
Missouri River basin in Nebraska. Our projects have ranged from basic enhancement and restoration
planting plans to complex, excavation/grading/planting creation projects.
We approach revegetation and restoration projects utilizing a natural and sustainable design approach.
Our designers are also available to assist in the implementation of revegetation and restoration projects.
Walsh manages the construction of both our own restoration/mitigation design plans (e.g., in a "turn -key"
process), as well as those prepared by other professionals. All of our design staff have the hands-on
construction and implementation knowledge to provide greater practical experience than is typically
offered by consulting design firms. Additionally, Walsh teams with a native plant nursery to supply
appropriate native plants for our restoration design projects at a discounted cost.
Recent revegetation/restoration projects include:
■ Cache la Poudre river restoration design and construction assistance for the City of Fort Collins
• Grant funding support, assessment and design services to the Eagle River Watershed Council for the
Edwards Eagle River Restoration Project
■ Design and implementation of revegetation plans for 32 miles of stream banks and adjacent riparian
habitat in Kentucky
■ Design of 900 acres of wetlands and wildife habitat at a mining Superfund site in Anaconda, Montana
e. Assessment of Threatened & Endangered Species
Walsh has worked on a wide variety of T&E and other special status species issues. For example, we
worked with the Cities of Broomfield and Thornton to create prairie dog management plans and planning
guidance. We also wrote a wildlife management plan for the City of Longmont that emphasized special
status species such as prairie dogs. We have also done numerous projects that involve species that may
affect projects in and around the City of Fort Collins, including the Preble's meadow jumping mouse,
burrowing owl, Ute ladies'- tresses orchid, and Colorado butterfly plant. We routinely conduct habitat
identification and delineation, presence surveys, Section 7 consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), as well as project mitigation design and implementation and habitat restoration. Some
of our projects have also included development of long-term site maintenance plans, including ongoing
habitat enhancement and weed management.
Recent projects involving T&E species include:
■ NEPA compliance surveys for T&E and sensitive plant species on Western Slope BLM properties
■ Surveys for T&E plant species at the Henderson and Climax Mines
■ Surveys for T&E plant species on Boulder County Open Space
■ Surveys for T&E plant species for the City of Colorado Springs
• Vegetation surveys and management plans, including noxious weeds and T&E species surveys, for
National Renewable Energy Laboratory sites in Boulder and Jefferson Counties
• Intensive trapping surveys, as well as vegetation assessment and analysis, of Preble's meadow

NOISE PROJECTS
NOISE SURVEY AND ABATEMENT, SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
For the USEPA, Region 4, Mr. Cowart managed an Environmental Impact Statement which fo-
cused on potential noise impacts from expansion of a sewage treatment plant. Both on -and off -
site noise monitoring was conducted over a 72 hour period. It was determined that the major high
decibel noise source was compressors powering the high pressure sludge treatment unit. A con-
ceptual design was prepared which provided for a separate insulated enclosure for the compres-
sors, in order to reduce noise levels to acceptable levels at the property boundary.
NOISE SURVEY, IMPACT OF NEARBY ROADWAY ON PLANETARIUM, WEST PALM BEACH,
FLORIDA
For the West Palm Beach planetarium, Mr. Cowart was project manager for a survey to determine
if noise from a nearby highway was sufficient to create vibration in the planetarium telescopes.
Noise, light and vibration measurements were taken during nighttime hours. It was concluded that
light pollution was the major impact on celestial viewing, and that noise and vibration were not
an issue.
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER PROJECTS
PRECIPITATION OF HEAVY METALS, COPPER MINE SITE, CUBA, NEW MEXICO
For the USDA Forest Service, Mr. Cowart conducted a treatability study and prepared a concep-
tual design for the removal of heavy metals, such as copper, from acidic groundwater at the for-
mer Nacimiento Mine site in Cuba, New Mexico. The acidic groundwater was titrated with vari-
ous bases in order to determine optimum precipitation conditions. Polishing treatment was evalu-
ated using an immobilized ligand to preferentially adsorb metals of concern. A conceptual design
and capital and annual cost estimate was prepared for a 105 gpm groundwater extraction and
treatment system, with discharge to either groundwater or surface water.
DEVELOPMENT OF NPDES GUIDELINES, FOR THE U.S. EPA, 1975-1985
For the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Mr. Cowart directed over 75 man-years of work
during a 10-year period in order to establish wastewater treatment effluent guidelines and stan-
dards for industries discharging into surface waters or publicly -owned treatment works. The in-
dustries addressed were those of pesticide chemicals, fruits and vegetables, edible oils, malt bev-
erages, wines, soft drinks, distilled spirits, sugar cane processing, fish processing, hydrolyzed
vegetable protein, and pectin. For each industry, the scope of work included surveys of the indus-
try, evaluation of process operations and waste management, plant visits, wastewater sampling
and analysis, literature reviews, evaluation of wastewater treatment alternatives, conceptual de-
sign of wastewater treatment systems, and cost estimates for treatment. Wastewater treatment
units which were evaluated and incorporated into designs included activated carbon and resin ab-
sorption; steam stripping; chemical oxidation by hydrolysis; ion exchange; ultrafiltration; metals
precipitation; oil/water separation including dissolved air flotation; activated sludge, aerated la-
goons, and rotating biological contractors; sand filtration; anaerobic digestion; wet air oxidation

diminution claims brought by residents whose property was adjacent to the
facility.
Four UST Sites, Alabama. Dr. Freeman directed E & E evaluations of site
cleanup adequacy on behalf of the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management. Using data on petroleum constituents in soil and groundwater,
his team quantitatively compared site conditions with default conditions, then
calculated appropriate site -specific screening criteria for each of the four sites.
It was determined that the site -specific criteria had been met at two sites and
that institutional controls had satisfied requirements for another site.
New Bedford Harbor Site, Massachusetts. Dr. Freeman cowrote a
hazard evaluation and reviewed the risk assessment regarding environmental
exposure to PCBs. He determined allowable daily PCB intake values for
systemic toxicological endpoints based on occupational exposures, critically
evaluated animal carcinogenicity studies concerning PCB mixtures, and
determined a cancer potency factor of 60% chlorine PCB mixtures using a
state-of-the-art approach for animal/human data extrapolation.
PCB Cleanup Evaluations, West Virginia and Great Lakes. He
evaluated PCB cleanup criteria proposed by EPA Region 3 for a chemical
plant in West Virginia and met with agency and client representatives to
negotiate the cleanup levels. In 1994, he Freeman prepared critical comments
on the derivation and use of EPA's PCB potency slope factor in the Great
Lakes Initiative. In 1992 and 1996, he prepared critical comments concerning
draft toxicant profiles of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) for PCB mixtures.
Manufacturing Site, Michigan. Dr. Freeman conducted a risk assessment
for a Fortune 500 company. Following state guidelines concerning the
restricted use of industrial sites, the risk assessment entailed evaluation of
multiple operable units, environmental media, and receptor populations.
Drug Risk Assessment. He evaluated the potential risks of the cream
formulation in a widely used antitrichonomial application. He derived a
potency slope factor for the drug, identified and evaluated the strengths and
weaknesses of animal and epidemiological data, and completed a risk
assessment regarding the drug's anticipated use.
Incinerator Ash Disposal Sites, Florida. In 2005, he evaluated the
utility of the IEUBK and the newly announced AALM biokinetic lead
exposure models in the causal analysis of alleged lead overexposure. His

Richard W. Freeman, Ph.D. (Cont.)
work demonstrated that, outside background exposure or regulatory "safe"
exposure levels, the biokinetic models tend to increasingly over -predict blood
lead levels in children. He further demonstrated that extrapolation of blood
lead levels back in time using these biokinetic models —both in the sense of
alleged overt lead toxicity and the more subtle (but increasingly controversial)
neurological developmental effects —is unreliable. Dr. Freeman presented his
findings at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology. He also found
that EPA's newly announced AAALM model predicts blood lead level (even
from background exposure) that would indicate excess risk for children.
Relational Risk Database for Soil Cleanup, Florida. Dr. Freeman also
has developed relational database software for determining soil cleanup levels
at sites in Florida; assessed risks from exposure to groundwater containing
chlorinated organics; critically evaluated animal carcinogenicity data for 1,1-
dichloroethylene (],I-DCE); and demonstrated that the use of negative
carcinogenicity data was inappropriate to determine a cancer potency factor.
For one site, he also modeled risks of potential occupational and residential
exposure to TCE. For an acid pit site in a suburban community, he assessed
potential health effects of exposure on the basis of exposure risk, time of
residence, and proximity to the waste site; then compared all know health
effects in the population with the known adverse effects of the chemicals of
concern.
Locomotive Refueling Sites, Mississippi. He applied a potency slope
factor specific for diesel fuel to develop health -based soil cleanup levels. For
these sites, Dr. Freeman also assessed potential health risks of dustbome
pesticides, performed a comparative risk analysis, modeled potential
exposures based on prevalent weather patterns, and calculated the lifetime
exposure risk.
Statewide Toxicological Evaluation, Florida. Dr. Freeman also
worked for four years with the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilita-
tive Services (DHRS). For one year (1988-1989), he was the director for
toxicology and hazard assessment. For three years (1985-1988), he provided
epidemic surveillance and toxicological investigation, primarily supporting
state officials in the determination of safe exposure levels for chemical
contaminants.
As lead DHRS investigator on a three-year cooperative agreement with
ATSDR, he completed HHRAs for National Priorities List hazardous waste
sites in Florida. He also was a member of the DHRS/ATSDR pilot study
group that evaluated grant and cooperative agreements for health effect

were inaccessible by equipment.
STREAM AND FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION AT COAL MINING FACILITY, KENTUCKY
Member of technical design team tasked with assessment and restoration of 26 miles of stream corridor
following the accidental release of 250 million gallons of coal slurry into two separate drainages in
eastern Kentucky. Several local drainages, unaffected by the release, were employed as reference reaches
to guide channel rehabilitation and habitat improvement design. Ms. Ash conducted multiple hydraulic
analyses using U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS software. Analyses included determination of
bankf ill discharge using field indicators of bankfull stage, quantification of predicted improvements to
shear stress, stream power, and velocity as a result of proposed restoration activities, verification of
floodwater surface elevations, and shear stress -limited evaluation of bioengineered bank treatments. Ms.
Ash also conducted a geomorphic analysis using regime equations and hydraulic geometry relationships
to determine stable channel characteristics for specific stream types. In addition to the channel work,
comprehensive riparian corridor restoration was a major component of the restoration project. Ms. Ash
provided estimated flow depths for the low flow (or sustaining flow) using the HEC-RAS models to help
guide plant zonation for the revegetation efforts.
CACHE LA POUDRE RIVER REMOVAL ACTION, FORT COLLINS, CO
Mr. Gurned led negotiations regarding riverine, riparian and wetland regulatory and restoration standards
on behalf of the City of Fort Collins
ROARING FORK GOLF & FISHING CLUB, BASALT, CO
Mr. Gumed provided the assessment, design, permitting and construction supervision of a native trout
stream (1 mile) with associated wetland complexes (3 acres). The trout stream was created as an amenity
and functional fly-fishing challenge for this golf/fishing club (Jack Nicklaus designed course); and the
associated wetland and riparian habitat were created to naturalize the stream and provide compensatory
mitigation for impacts associated with the development of the club facilities.
TOBACCO ISLAND PROJECT, KANSAS CITY, MO
Mr. Gurne6 prepared an Environmental Impact Statement for the Army Corps of Engineers, Tobacco
Island Project - a portion of the Missouri River Bank Stabilization and Navigation, Fish and Wildlife
Mitigation Project.
MASTER PLANNING THE SAN MIGUEL RIVER CORRIDOR RESTORATION PLAN
Mr. Gurnee was lead planner of the San Miguel River Corridor Restoration Plan and assisted the Town of
Telluride in applying for and winning approximately $500,000 in Natural Resource Damage Assessment
Fund money from the State of Colorado. The money, along with other funding, was utilized for final
design and construction of the project.
COPPER MOUNTAIN RESORT
Mr. Gurned provided design, permitting, and construction of one of the highest altitude stream restoration
and wetland mitigation project in Colorado (approximately 11,500 feet above sea level), atop Union Peak
at Copper Mountain Resort.

Environmental Liability Audits. These audits typically focus on owner/operator liabilities and
regulatory compliance concerns that could reasonably impact on a decision to acquire, lease, or provide
financing for a particular facility or parcel of real property.
Process/Operational Compliance Audits. These audits typically do not involve a merger or acquisition,
but rather focus on environmental issues associated with the continued operation of a facility. For these
audits, regulatory compliance concerns typically become the primary focus, with owner/operator liability
issue dealt with as appropriate.
Management and Systems Audits. These audits tend to focus on the adequacy of the organizational
structure of a particular client's operations. The audit evaluates the resources and commitments made
available to achieve environmental compliance, and the level of awareness and training that exists to
ensure that responsible personnel have the requisite skill and capability to effectively address
environmental issues.
Despite the various forms of audit programs, there are common elements that are essential if each
program is to be successful. The audit scope and objectives must be defined as early in the project as
possible. The regulatory programs to be included in the audit must be identified. These programs may
include hazardous waste (RCRA), air emissions (CAA), wastewater and stormwater (CWA), community
right -to -know (EPCRA), worker health and safety (OSHA, MSHA), and others. We do this to ensure that
pre -audit questionnaires are properly developed and that final reports meet client objectives.
The sequence of site -specific audit activities must be determined as quickly as possible, because time
constraints and audit objectives can vary widely. Depending on site complexity and client objectives, any
or all of three audit phases can be conducted:
■ Phase I: Preliminary identification of problem areas that could pose liability to existing or future
owners. This phase typically involves a literature/site file search, interviews, agency contact, and
a brief site walk -over visit. No sampling normally is involved in Phase 1 audit activities.
• Phase II: Further detailed investigation as needed to verify/delineate the extent and severity of the
problem and to identify potential remedial/mitigative measures and their cost. This typically
involves some form of environmental sampling activity.
■ Phase III: Assistance in remedial planning/implementation, if required. Obviously, this site -
specific step can become very complex and can extend well beyond the general "audit" goal of
problem inventory and preliminary identification of potential solutions.
Walsh also has the capabilities and experience to conduct a full range of occupational health and safety
audits and evaluations. We evaluate potential threats to worker or building occupant health and safety
and provide recommendations for mitigation and training to avoid threats in the future. Our services

Christine Galli LaBerge, PE
Ms. LaBerge served as the lead engineer for the feasibility study prepared for the Captain Jack mine site.
The site was listed on the National Priority List (NPL) in 2003 and contains several abandoned mine
portals and waste piles. Acid mine drainage from an onsite portal was discharging metals -laden water
directly into Left Hand Creek and the risk to onsite residents was significantly elevated. Ms. LaBerge
presented the findings at public meetings and worked directly with the Colorado Department of Public
Health and the Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop remedial action
objectives and suitable alternatives.
BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT MANNING CANYON ADDITIONAL AREAS REMOVAL SITE
INVESTIGATION AND ENGINEERING DESIGN
Ms. LaBerge served as project manager and lead project engineer in the performance of a removal site
investigation (RSI) report and a full engineering design for the Manning Canyon Additional Areas located
in Mercur Mining District, Utah. The project involved the removal of approximately 36,000 cubic yards
of lead and arsenic contaminated mine waste and placement of the material into an engineered repository.
Careful consideration was required of areas with cultural significance in and around the areas in which
contaminated material was present. In addition, the project involved opening an existing repository and
adding additional waste material into a designed expansion area. Site grading posed a large challenge due

former military base. Walsh has also performed risk assessments for Alliant TechSystems (where a
human health risk assessment formed the basis for closure of a chlorinated solvent site in Denver) and
CDOT.
Walsh/E&E risk assessors use a step-by-step methodology to compute realistic risks to human health or
the environment in a cost-effective manner. The goals of these analyses are to:
■ Identify and analyze relevant health and environmental issues
■ Determine exposure probability and exposure consequences
■ Compute the risk to human health and/or the environment on the realistic basis of likely exposure
levels and likely consequences
■ Identify parameters affecting that can be addressed by control procedures or remedial activity
■ Establish practical cleanup goals as a part of a project -wide consideration of the costs and benefits of
risk mitigation, including the risk of remedy
For the BLM, Walsh used a risk -based approach to evaluate remedial alternatives at the Saginaw Hill
Mining District in Tucson, Arizona. There, metals -impacted soils and mine tailings are in an area
currently occupied by and adjacent to rural housing and schools on the edge of Tucson.
Walsh also recently conducted a screening level human health risk assessment for an oil company
operating oilfields in the country of Yemen. The potential for areas of petroleum -contaminated soils to
impact the health of workers and residents was evaluated, for both the dermal contact and
groundwater/drinking water pathways.
1.B.7 Alr Pennilting, Monitoring, Modeling and Compliance
Dr. Arthur Mizzi of Walsh will be responsible for the air quality issues of this project. Dr. Mizzi is a
Certified Consulting Meteorologist and an environmental attorney whose expertise includes air quality
compliance counseling, applied atmospheric modeling, model development, air quality assessments, and
permitting under PSD and non -attainment NSR programs.
a. Develop and prepare air permits.
Various City departments operate various facilities and/or equipment that are potential sources of air
pollution that may be subject to regulatory requirements enforced by the Colorado Air Pollution Control
Division (APCD). These potential sources include: emergency power generators; storage and dispensing
of gasoline and other motor fuels; degreasing, painting, and other solvent use; storage, handling, and
processing of rock and similar materials; and wastewater treatment operations.
The Colorado APCD requires permits for certain new and modified air emission sources and the tracking
of air emissions through the Air Pollution Emission Notice (APEN) program. In general, APENs are
required for both new and existing emission sources unless specifically exempted under APCD
regulations. However, APCD rules exempt a large number of smaller emission units and many City
operations are expected to be covered under these exemptions.
Walsh will assist the City in identifying how permit requirements impact City operations, assist the City
in obtaining any required permits, and assist the City in complying with the terms and conditions of any
such permits.
b. Perform air monitoring, record keeping, and reporting. Prepare routine and special reports of air
quality data.
This task addresses ongoing compliance for existing City operations. City -owned facilities and/or
equipment may be required to monitor and track compliance with permit conditions and other regulatory

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
CAPTAIN .LACK SUPERFUND SITE
Mr. Spencer is currently the Remedial Investigation (RI) project manager at the Captain Jack Mill (CJM)
Superfund Site, in Boulder County, Colorado. The site was listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) on
September 29, 2003. The purpose of the RI is to determine the nature and extent of contamination
associated with former mining and milling operations, and to develop remedial alternatives that can be
evaluated to support a Record of Decision (ROD). The investigation comprises a broad -based, multi-
media sampling program including surface and ground water, soils, mine waste and biota. All work is
under approval by CDPHE and EPA and subject to stakeholder review by Left Hand Watershed
Oversight Group and Boulder County Health in addition to the public.
The CJM Superfund site is located near Ward, Colorado, within the Left Hand Creek Watershed. In the
1980s, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discovered fisheries and wetlands impacts in the
Watershed. These impacts were suspected to be associated with discharges of metal -contaminated water
from the major abandoned mining and milling areas, including the CJM site (Left Hand Watershed 2004).
Subsequent evaluations by the Left Hand Watershed Task Force and Boulder County Health Department
(BCHD) identified potential risks to the Watershed by abandoned mines, and concluded that a systematic
study of the entire Watershed was needed.

implementation of remedial action. Key projects completed under the BOA included assessment and
closure of underground storage tanks, assessment and remediation of lead contaminated soils to allow
construction of new facilities and conceptual design for decommissioning and decontamination of
laboratory facilities in a leased building.
SITE EVALUATION, MINING/SMELTING AREAS, PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO
Mr. Spencer was the project manager for the hazardous waste site evaluation incorporated into the
Environmental Impact Statement for State Highway 82 Reconstruction in Pitkin County, Colorado under
contract to the Colorado Department of Transportation. WALSH evaluated the potential impact of
highway construction through former mining/smelting areas with high concentrations of heavy metals on
ground and surface waters.
HAZARD RANKING SYSTEM EVALUATION, EL PORTAL BARITE MINE, U.S. FOREST SERVICE
Mr. Spencer was the principal hydrogeologist for a hazard ranking system (HRS) site investigation on the
El Portal Barite Mine, Sierra National Forest. This allowed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to rank the site according to the HRS for uncontrolled hazardous substance releases. Tasks
included mapping the site geology/hydrogeology and surveying the surrounding land use and populations.
Water quality was assessed in surface and ground waters. Contaminant pathways and population (human
and wildlife) exposures were delineated. Remedial actions were determined and implemented based on
the HRS ranking.
LANDFILL SITE ASSESSMENTS, U.S. FOREST SERVICE
Mr. Spencer was the principal investigator for two landfill site assessments conducted for the U.S. Forest
Service in California. The landfills included possible pesticide/herbicide disposal sites. The project
entailed planning for sampling and analysis to meet regulatory requirements, implementation of the field
investigation, interpretation of results, and evaluation of remedial alternatives.
PETROLEUM RELEASE INVESTIGATION, GAS PLANT, NEBRASKA
For a large petroleum hydrocarbon release investigation, Mr. Spencer was project manager at a gas plant
in western Nebraska. This project included design and installation of a network of over 20 monitor wells.
Aquifer pumping tests were completed and analyzed and a model generated to predict plume behavior.
A recovery system of pumping wells was designed to contain a one -mile long plume. Contaminated
water was treated through use of a spray irrigation system designed to eliminate volatile organic
compounds. Permission was also received to utilize contaminated water as part of a secondary recovery
system in the adjoining oil/gas field.
SITE INVESTIGATION, U.S. AIR FORCE PLANT
During a site investigation conducted by the U.S. Air Force Plant 78 at Brigham City, Utah, Mr. Spencer
was principal hydrologic investigator. This was a surface water/sediment geochemical investigation
conducted under the Installation Restoration Program. Waters and sediments were collected and analyzed
in an effort to determine the impact of rocket manufacturing and testing to area surface waters.
UST PROGRAM, SAFEWAY STORES INC
Mr. Spencer managed assessment and remediation services of the fueling system for this regional
warehouse distribution center. The project included tank testing, closure and assessment of 18
underground fuel tanks. Remediation services included removal, replacement and upgrades of all existing
fuel storage systems. The site was under investigation by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
the Environment (CDPHE) for non-compliance with state and federal ground water standards. A
monitoring system was designed, installed and operated to assess ground water and soil vapors in
compliance with regulatory requirements. Cleanup was performed on thousands of cubic yards of
contaminated soils and other contaminated material was allowed to remain in place after risk assessment
demonstrated no adverse impact was occurring. A supplemental investigation discovered that a ground

For construction sites owned by the City, Walsh has performed reviews of sampling plans, workplans, and
corrective action plans relating to on -site residual petroleum contamination. Walsh has been proactive in
advising City personnel on a variety of pending regulations prior to being put into effect, including new
Phase I ESA standards and ACS regulations.
Advising the City on Proper Waste Disposal. Walsh advised the City on disposal of wastes from
abandoned sludge digestors at the Mulberry Treatment Plant, abandoned wastes at Parks and Natural Areas
facilities, drummed wastes at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, disposal of routine lead waste from Police
Firing Range operations and as part of a lead reduction operation at the range, street sweeping wastes, and
storm debris. Walsh routinely provides recommendations in technical reports of required and available
disposal options for wastes. Walsh has coordinated investigation derived waste (IDW) characterization and
disposal activities on all Phase 11 site investigation projects completed for the City.
Advising the City on Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention. Walsh analyzed and evaluated wastes
produced by parts washers at City facilities, and recommended the technology which had the least adverse
effect on the environment. Walsh also provided a comprehensive SPCC plan training program. Wastes
from selected City properties have been managed through Larimer County's Business Hazardous Waste
Assistance and Education Program (BHAPE) to reduce overall disposal costs, and to promote re -use and/or
recycling.
Voluntary Cleanup and Brownfields. Walsh has prepared a VCUP application for a No Action
Determination (NAD) for the Former Municipal Landfill located along the banks of the Cache La Poudre
River in the Downtown Corridor. This NAD request has been approved by CDPHE representatives.
Walsh has also reviewed a VC UP application related to the Timberline Road Widening project and provided
comments and recommendations to City staff. Walsh also performed oversight on a voluntary cleanup at
Block 33 for the City. Walsh performed a preliminary assessment of the Downtown River Corridor, and
assisted the City in obtaining a $250,000 grant from the U.S. EPA for assessment services. Walsh
performed Phase I ESA and Phase It site investigations under this grant.
Remediation and UST Closure Services. Walsh provided services for removal and closure of hydraulic
lifts and waste oil tanks, monitor well installation, and ground water monitoring at the Fleet Services
facility. Walsh performed oversight services during contaminated soil remediation work at the Bartran
property and a site located near Timnath, Colorado.
Ecological Assessment and Permitting. Walsh assisted the City with the river restoration aspects of the
Cache La Poudre River cleanup project by providing staff to act as a liaison throughout the project, from
the initial negotiation of restoration requirements through the construction process and the negotiation of
maintenance and monitoring requirements. Walsh has been retained by the City to prepare an Ecological
Characterization Study for the proposed watercraft course adjacent to the old Power Plant. The study will
be prepared in coordination with City staff and pursuant to the City of Fort Collins, Division 3.4
Environmental, Natural Area, Recreational and Cultural Resource Protection Standards. Walsh also
provided wetland assessment and permitting services to the City at the SouthRidge golf course site.
Waste Inspection and Analysis. Walsh staff completed abandoned drum sampling and characterization
activities at the Hazaleus property and provided disposal coordination support and oversight during
subsequent over packing and removal of liquid wastes. For the Parks Department, Walsh characterized
numerous containers of abandoned wastes and made recommendations for disposal. For the Streets
Department, Walsh analyzed sweeping debris generated by street cleaners, identified potential regulatory
issues surrounding such waste, and made recommendations for disposal. In addition, Walsh provided
sampling, analysis, and interpretation for parts washer residue at the Transfort and Fleet Services facilities.

River Point at Sheridan Brownfield Redevelopment, Sheridan, Colorado
Walsh is currently partnering with
developer Miller Weingarten to
complete environmental tasks for the
construction of River Point at Sheridan,
a $150MM, 130-acre retail center in
the south Denver metropolitan area.
This brownfield redevelopment site is
situated on two historic landfills
including the Arapco Landfill and
Herbertson's Pay Dump. Primary
environmental hazards include high
concentrations of landfill gasses that
migrate through the waste and along
existing utility corridors. Additional
concerns include soil and groundwater
contamination from both on -site and
upgradient sources. Thirty five
buildings were present on 55 properties
at the site. The redevelopment also
includes the Platte River, and part of
the Englewood municipal golf course.
Regulatory Negotiations and
Approvals. This highly complex
project required extensive and creative
negotiations between the developer, the
City of Sheridan, the State regulatory
authority (Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment), the
Tri-County Health Department, and
others. From the onset of the project, it
was known that full removal of the
landfill waste would drive the
developer from the table. Though
estimates varied, full removal of the
waste would be in excess of $100
The Sheridan Redevelopment Area, a complex site, has remediation
of both industrial properties and former landfills that were under the
Englewood Golf Course. Numerous boreholes and trenches were
excavated during the Phase II ESA, as shown by colored dots on
this aerial photograph of pre-existing conditions.
Million. As a result, strategic removal of the waste was proposed; five feet of waste was removed from
the parking lots, while all of the waste was removed from beneath some buildings and none of the waste
was removed from beneath others. Specifically, the remedial alternative was tailored to the construction
requirements. However, one characteristic is the same for all buildings — an active vapor mitigation
system. Walsh developed state-of-the-art vapor mitigation design criteria to help guide the construction
of the vapor mitigation systems. Walsh worked in concert with the regulatory agencies and the owner to
come up with remedies that are protective of human health and the environment, as well as support
redevelopment of a very complex site.

requirements, as well as periodically provide monitoring and compliance reports to APCD. Walsh can
assist the City in identifying applicable monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; and in
complying with these requirements as necessary.
The City also operates certain air monitoring equipment and periodically undertakes special studies and
analyses of the collected air quality data to obtain a better understanding of air quality emissions affecting
the City and its residents. Walsh can analyze and interpret these data, track long-term changes in air
quality conditions, and recommend and/or implement additional air monitoring to benefit the City's air
quality management program.
Walsh can also address visibility and haze issues and greenhouse gases in special reports, including
possible support from the trained emissions auditors of E&E.
c. Advise the City on implications of pending or proposed federal, state, regional, or local air quality
laws, regulations, ordinances, and standards.
Air quality rules and regulations are constantly changing. Upcoming regulations that may impact City
operations include new standards governing maximum achievable control technology (MACT) and
updates to new source permitting regulations. Walsh is constantly tracking these changes on behalf of our
other clients and will provide similar assistance to the City of Fort Collins on this contract.
Walsh can assist the City in commenting on APCD's permit actions for industrial sources impacting the
City. All new and modified APCD permits are subject to a 30-day public comment period and the City
may offer comments on these permits in cases where there is concern over the impact of these emissions
on City residents. Walsh can assist the City review and provide comment on APCD permit actions
(except in cases where we represent the permit applicant).
d. Advise and assist in the development or review of risk management plans for responding to the
accidental release of regulated substances.
-and-
e. Prepare air hazard assessment regarding release scenarios, zones of impact, identification of
impacted receptors.
Subtasks d and e have been combined into a single discussion because they both involve activities to
comply with Clean Air Act Section 112(r) Risk Management Plans (RMPs). Section 112(r) requires
preparation and implementation of RMPs to address the storage and accidental release of hazardous
substances. Included with the RMP is a requirement to address the potential hazards of an accidental
release through dispersion modeling. Existing City facilities subject to the 112(r) regulations should
already have prepared and implemented an RMP.
Walsh can assist the City in compliance with 112(r) regulations including revising existing RMPs and
hazard assessment modeling and preparing new RMPs in cases where the City adds new storage of
regulated chemicals.
In addition, many existing facilities within the City of Fort Collins may have prepared RMPs for their
own operations. The City of Fort Collins may be interested in reviewing and assessing any RMPs at local
facilities for the purpose of identifying hazardous chemicals on -site, potential release scenarios, and
hazard zones. This information may be needed by the City to better prepare the Police Department and
other personnel involved with emergency response. Walsh can review and compile data from existing
RMPs and ensure that all hazard modeling was prepared on a consistent basis.

Creek. As part of the redevelopment, the Platte River channel and the confluence area are being
stabilized to minimize erosion into landfill areas and the golf course. In addition, restoration of the
channel area is being undertaken to improve wildlife ha
designs for armoring and stabilizing the river
channel, and reclamation/planting plans to enhance
the natural habitat areas of the golf course. An
innovative part of the design is the creation of an
engineered swale to convey stormwater and minimize
sediment runoff into the Platte River to improve
water quality. Walsh also designed nature trails and
other amenities.
Walsh conducted assessments and evaluations of
wetlands, Threatened and Endangered Species, and
migratory birds. Walsh also worked with the
developer to obtain a grant from the Colorado
Governor's office for streambank stabilization.

development will be over undisturbed landfill
materials, methane gas will be present in soils at low concentrations. The developers were concerned that
trees, shrubs, and grasses planted during landscaping would die from exposure to the methane. Plans had
been drawn up for planting trees and shrubs in methane -free buried concrete "bathtubs". Recognizing the
potential costs, Walsh botanists evaluated a variety of plants for methane tolerance, and created a planting
plan that included methane -resistant plant taxa. This negated the requirement for special planting areas,
saving about $1.5MM in engineering costs.
Construction Monitoring and Oversight. The first phase of the project requires removing a substantial
amount of this waste to provide a sound subsurface for constructing roads, utilities and buildings. While
it is likely the contents are mostly municipal solid waste, there is the potential some hazardous waste,
storage tanks and contaminants may be encountered during the excavation process. In accordance with
the agreements with the CDPHE Walsh is providing inspectors at the points of excavation. Each
inspector is a certified asbestos inspector and trained in taking opacity readings. Additionally, some
inspectors are certified by the State for odor monitoring. The goal is to minimize the potential for
hazardous waste inadvertently being loaded into trucks and delivered to the landfill. Walsh has worked
closely with the State and with the disposal facility to protect against the delivery of drums, asbestos,
transformers, pressure vessels or any other kind of "special" or hazardous waste. At the completion of the
project, Walsh will certify that the excavation activities were completed in accordance with the State
regulations. This provides risk management to the owner and also serves to initiate specific insurance
policies.

Carl E. Mach, Ph.D. (Cont.)
United States. On behalf of Onondaga County, Dr. Mach managed E & E
reviews of site investigation/risk assessment documents prepared by
consultants to potentially responsible parties (PRPs), in order to identify any
deficiencies. The objective was to ensure that inappropriate analyses and
conclusions are quickly identified, so that adverse ecological impacts caused
by industrial waste releases are not attributed to the County, which operates a
municipal wastewater treatment plant on the lake. In addition, during the
feasibility study, Dr. Mach helped the County evaluate the application of risk -
based cleanup standards to ensure that the proposed remedial actions were
scientifically defensible and protective of County -owned resources.
Mojave National Preserve, California. For the National Park Service
(NPS), Dr. Mach oversaw the ecological risk assessment for a lanthanide
mining site where decades of careless tailing disposal had contaminated part
of the Preserve, threatening critical habitat for many desert wildlife species.
He helped define the scope and overall design of the ecological and human
health risk assessments and ensured that the work products were scientifically
sound, that conclusions are appropriate, and that the implemented interim
remedial actions would protect the Preserve's natural resources.
Petroleum -Contaminated Sites, Nationwide. Since 1998, for Chevron,
Dr. Mach has evaluated the ecological risks associated with petroleum
contamination in terrestrial, aquatic, and estuarine systems at various sites in
the United States. He has designed and implemented investigations to
evaluate the biological uptake of petroleum constituents; prepared screening -
level and baseline ecological risk assessments; designed ecological -
monitoring plans; and developed risk -based remedial approaches for
petroleum -contaminated sites.
Voluntary Remediation Program Support, Indiana. For the Indiana
Department of Environmental Management, Dr. Mach reviews ecological risk
assessments prepared by principal responsible parties for contaminated
aquatic and terrestrial sites statewide. He critically evaluates the assessments
to ensure that they are scientifically sound and that the conclusions drawn are
appropriate and will adequately protect natural resources under the State's
Risk Integrated System of Closure.

and facilitated the Boulder County 1041 Environmental Review process to allow for the construction of a
wastewater treatment facility in Eldorado Springs.
CITY OF LONGMONT
Dr. Meaney provided wildlife expertise on two projects for the City of Longmont: Spring and Lykins
Gulch Channel Improvements and Clover Basin Pipeline project. The projects addressed Threatened and
Endangered Species issues. She provided a Wildlife Impact Report, and conducted winter raptor surveys
and Preble's meadow jumping mouse presence/absence surveys.
COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
Dr. Meaney assessed impacts of potential highway projects on Canada lynx. The data served as an input
for a habitat evaluation test. Additionally, she provided an evaluation of historical Canada lynx densities
in Colorado.
For another project, a number of Biological Assessments relating to Preble's meadow jumping mice were
prepared for the Colorado Department of Transportation and Federal Highways Administration. Dr.
Meaney facilitated an expert panel, with colleague Dr. Mark Bakeman, to assess impacts, threats, and
potential mitigation for major 1-25 construction work in Preble's meadow jumping mouse habitat. The
results were incorporated in the Environmental Assessment.
CLOVER BASIN PIPELINE, CITY OF LONGMONT
Dr. Meaney coordinated the 1041 Review Process, including Wildlife Impact Reports for Clover Basin
Pipeline (for City of Longmont, Boulder County, Colorado) and Irwin -Thomas Mine (for Rocky
Mountain Consultants, Boulder County). At conclusion, both projects met Boulder County Land Use
Code.
CALIFORNIA GULCH, LEADVILLE, COLORADO
Dr. Meaney evaluated the contamination loads of small mammals at the Superfind site that had engaged
in historic mining. The project required small -mammal live trapping and tissue collection.
ROCKY FLATS PLANT, GOLDEN, COLORADO
Dr. Meaney conducted ecological monitoring on small mammal populations at this nuclear production
facility. She worked on ecological risk assessments and EISs for the site.
COLORADO SPRINGS
In coordination with the City of Colorado Springs Utilities, Dr. Meaney developed a "block exclusion"
for Preble's meadow jumping mouse along Cottonwood Creek in Colorado Springs, allowing the
Colorado Department of Transportation to replace bridges over I-25 during the active season.
PRAIRIE DOG RELOCATION PROJECT
Dr. Meaney coordinated a successful prairie dog relocation project outside Colorado Springs, for the
Colorado Department of Transportation, to allow for a road widening project.
PREBLE'S MEADOW JUMPING MOUSE
Dr. Meaney conducted extensive trapping and numerous formal Section 7 consultations with Biological
Assessments on Preble's meadow jumping mouse for CDOT, the Town of Parker, Boulder County, and
others. She conducted and published peer -reviewed research on their population numbers in Boulder
County.

Walsh has completed a number of high profile
asbestos and lead projects in Denver, including
ST/UST/LUST Closure and Site Characterizations Currigan Hall (shown), McNichols Sports Arena, the
Denver Coliseum, Denver Auditorium, and others.
for State of Colorado under Master Contract: Walsh
has been a prime contractor to the Colorado
Department of Labor and Employment - Division of Oil and Public Safety, for the EPA Leaking
Underground Storage Tank Trust program for the past 15 years (OPS consultant number 135). Walsh has
had multiple task awards under the contract since 1988 with an average of approximately $400,000-
$500,000 in tasks completed per year. Walsh has assessed 90 tank sites, monitored about 70 sites,
removed USTs from 6 sites, and designed 5 active remediation systems, all of which included plans and
specifications, construction oversight, and O&M tasks.
Burlington Mine Remediation and Reclamation under VCRA Jamestown CO: At an abandoned
fluorite mine near Jamestown, Colorado, Walsh plugged collapse features, closing adits and shafts,
relocating a stream, and built and reclaimed a mine waste rock repository. This 13-acre facility contained
over 10,000 feet of underground tunnels, adits and shafts. Acid mine drainage was discharging into Little
James Creek, which is used for drinking water by downstream communities. We submitted a voluntary
cleanup plan to the Colorado CDPHE. A major part of this project involved diversion of the existing
ephemeral stream around the mine workings to
minimize the amount of surface water that comes into
contact with the waste rock. The reclamation
included plugging the subsidence pits, blocking the
alluvial and surface flow of the captured stream and
permanently diverting it around the underground
workings, consolidating the mine waste piles into a
repository, and revegetating the entire site.
Inspections/Oversight and Phase I and II ESAs for
Demolition of 14 Buildings - Obermeyer
Redevelopment Project: Walsh provided
environmental consulting services for Szymanski -
Ray and Obermeyer Redevelopment Corporation for
the redevelopment of a city block in Aspen
containing 14 commercial and residential structures.
Walsh provided a significant level of coordination
and communication with the owner and the 28
separate tenants that vacated the buildings during the
project.
At the Obermeyer Place Redevelopment project in Aspen,
Walsh's Phase II ESA identified lead and other metals in
soils from a former assay office and mine tailings dumps.
Walsh treated 10,000 cubic yards of soils, and disposed of
the most contaminated portion in a landfill (after ensuring
that the landfill acceptance criteria were met). The clean
portion was used as road base at a nearby road construction
project.
Fort Collins Env Services 2007 vN Page 28

expertise in river restoration design, bioengineered bank stabilization measures, instream habitat
enhancement, and riparian corridor restoration. During the construction phase, Walsh assisted the City
with oversight of the restoration and landscape contractors, recommendations for specific construction
methods, and assistance with logistics. We provided construction oversight during all phases of the
project. Walsh was also requested to provide negotiation, design review, and construction oversight
assistance for the North Weld County Water District (NWCWD) Water Line Crossing Area.
Ecological Characterization Study for Watercraft Course on the Poudre River: Walsh has been
retained by the City of Fort Collins to prepare an Ecological Characterization Study for the proposed
watercraft course adjacent to the old Power Plant. The Ecological Characterization Study will address
wildlife use of the area, wetlands in the area, prominent views from or across the site, inventory of native
trees, identification of wildlife movement corridors, and other features.
Edwards Eagle River Restoration Project: Walsh is currently providing grant funding support,
assessment and design services to the Eagle River Watershed Council for the Edwards Eagle River
Restoration Project. The Project site is roughly 1.5 miles long covering an area of 168 acres in the heart
of the Edwards community. Restoration, enhancement and protection is proposed on both north and
south banks, in the stream channel, as well as within the floodplain. In addition to direct river
improvements, the project will reduce current land use impacts throughout the corridor, improving bank
conditions and water quality for the river.
City of Longmont Wildlife Management Plan: For the City of Longmont, Walsh completed the
development of a Citywide Wildlife Management Plan for the Parks and Open Space Division of the
Department of Community Development. The plan addressed management requirements of "regulatory"
species, "biodiversity" species, and "problem" wildlife. The plan also presented a method for prioritizing
future land acquisition and management specifically to preserve wildlife and made recommendations for
strengthening and broadening the City's existing land development code.
Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs), Jefferson County Colorado: Walsh is developing
CWPPs for nine fire protection districts in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) portions of Jefferson
County. Jefferson County's WUI is characterized with steep slopes, overgrown mixed -conifer forests,
oak and mountain mahogany stands, and grass fields. Wildfire risks and hazards were identified through
community and fuel assessments, interviews with fire officials, community officials, and a questionnaire
mailed to residents. Public meetings were convened to discuss wildfire risks, wildfire hazards, and
mitigation opportunities. We assessed fire protection district wildfire preparedness, training, and needs.
Buckley Air Force Base Wildland Fire Management Plan Colorado: Walsh developed a Draft
Wildland Fire Management Plan for Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado. The Plan considered existing
conditions, wildland fire history, values at risk, wildland fire fighting resources and training, and
environmental conditions and fire effects to develop practices for pre -suppression actions, fire
suppression actions, post -fire actions, and fire management areas. We also described the procedures
needed to introduce prescribed fire as a shortgrass prairie and fuels management tool.

Ecological Services for the City of Loveland, Larimer County: Walsh has supported the Larimer
County Fairground Renovation Project for the City of Loveland. Walsh ecologists consulted with the US
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concerning the potential occurrence of Preble's meadow jumping
mouse on the site. This resulted in an accepted site disqualification report for this species. Walsh is also
supporting the required 404 permitting for the project. This has included a wetland delineation of the site,
consultation with project designers, and submission of a permit verification to the Army Corps of
Engineers (COE).
f.C.4 Voluntary Cleanup
Voluntary Cleanup and Brownfields Programs for the City of Fort Collins: Walsh has prepared an
Application under Colorado's VCRA program for a No Action Determination (NAD) for the Former
Municipal Landfill along the banks of the Cache La Poudre River in the Downtown Corridor. The VCUP
application concisely summarized historic site investigation data generated by a multitude of
environmental consultants. This NAD request was recently approved by CDPHE representatives. Work
completed under an EPA Brownfields grant has helped the City of Fort Collins redevelop the
underutilized downtown river corridor. Walsh performed a large-scale multi -property (133 parcels)
modified Phase I ESA of the corridor. Walsh completed extensive Phase II site investigation work under
the Brownfields grant and under separate work order contracts, and has worked with the City to resolve
contamination issues prior to redevelopment. A recent Phase II site investigation has documented that a
regional chlorinated solvent ground water plume is not being caused by former landfill activities but is
related to an unidentified off -site source. Walsh has provided recommendations on potential environmental
liabilities involved with potential public acquisition of private property, and with a variety of public
meetings for the project. We have also produced and maintained a public web site for the City during
principal investigative activities.
*A detailed description of this project can be found in Appendix B.

2.A.2 Additional Similar and Related Environmental Services
In addition to the seven service areas listed in the RFP, our team is capable of providing an array of other
services that may be useful to the City. Some of these are listed below.
Laboratory Packaging of Chemicals and
Methamphetamine Laboratory Evaluations
Walsh's staff of industrial hygienists and environmental
scientists have extensive experience with lab packing and
identification/disposal of laboratory chemicals and waste.
This may be relevant should the City require assistance in
cleaning up methamphetamine laboratories.
Our approach to laboratory packaging ensures efficient,
safe disposal of chemicals in accordance with all relevant
and applicable regulation. Our team of industrial
hygienists initially segregate chemicals into known and
unknown substances; known chemicals are then divided
by chemical compatibility and packaged for transport
under federal Department of Transportation and RCRA
regulations. Unknown substances are immediately
analyzed and characterized. Once the nature of each
substance is established, they are packaged based on
chemical compatibility and under DOT/RCRA
regulations. Chemicals are disposed of at an appropriate waste disposal facility
We are adept at disposing of all manner of
hazardous materials. Here, a Walsh technician is
disposing of hazardous material for transport as
part of EPA's Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in
Louisiana.
Typical projects include:
NuTech Manufacturing Corporation. Walsh provided waste management services to a chemical
manufacturer in Denver under a RCRA notice of violation issued by CDPHE for illegal storage of
hazardous waste. Our team sampled, analyzed, and disposed of 50 unlabeled drums.
Chemical Manufacturing Facility. For the termination of all operations of Western Wellchems, Inc., an
EPA Small Quantity Generator, Walsh audited the plant, inventoried all laboratory chemicals and
samples, designed a disposal plan that included compositing of 2,000 containers of chemicals, arranged
for transport and disposal of the organic chemicals to a fuels incinerator, arranged for "lab packing" of
materials destined for a hazardous waste incinerator, and provided documentation to protect the client or
its assigns from future environmental liability.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory. For the Department of Energy at the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory, Walsh consulted on the demolition and removal of a former laboratory that was
possibly contaminated with hazardous and radioactive wastes. Walsh designed the decommissioning and
decontamination, including a contamination screening and identification program to determine whether
waste lab equipment or building materials were hazardous or radioactive wastes, and presented remedial
alternatives and cost estimates.

affected residents; developed fact sheets; and work with homeowners associations, the EPA, clients, and
other affected parties.
Site Restoration Services
For remediation or clean-up projects, Walsh generally specifies that the construction contractor conduct
site restoration activities. This may include regrading, pavement patching and repair, repaving, and the
installation of sod or grass seed. For installed remediation systems at site closure, Walsh contracts for the
removal of facilities, buildings and utility disconnects. Walsh personnel will perform abandonment of
wells and salvage associated equipment. Walsh has performed this service for almost every UST
removal, overexcavation, and remediation system site where trenching or excavation is performed.
In sensitive environments, such as wetlands or areas with ecological importance, Walsh has an
experienced, qualified site restoration team in-house that includes a wetlands scientist, landscape
architect, and wildlife biologists. Walsh has completed numerous wetlands restoration projects,
engineered wetlands and is thoroughly familiar with site regrading and revegetation. Examples of Walsh

3. Proposal Section Three: Fees and Costs
IA General Labor and Direct Costs
Walsh is aware of the importance of cost control to the City, and we are experienced in cost -control
measures for similar general environmental service contracts. Walsh is offering the services of its
Program Manager, Dr. Hal Stuber, at a rate of $115.00/hour, a substantial reduction from both his
standard rate ($150.00/hr) and competitive rates for comparable qualifications and expertise. This cost
savings on Dr. Stuber's hourly rate continues a commitment Walsh made in 1996 to provide a reduction
on our Program Manager's rate for the City of Fort Collins. We were able to maintain the same reduced
rate, with only minimal incremental raises, during the last 5 years of our work for the City.
Walsh is also offering to provide mobilization of Walsh personnel and equipment from Boulder to Fort
Collins at no charge to the City. This is also a continuation of an offer we made to the City for our work
under the General Environmental Services Contract from 1997 to the present. Consistent with our
commitment to provide timely and efficient service to the City, Walsh opened an office in Fort Collins in
June of 2001.
We believe these proposed staff and travel cost control measures are consistent with our commitment to
provide the City with the best possible technical expertise at the lowest cost. Although the most
important cost savings on environmental projects result from innovative solutions and knowledgeable,
expert consulting, these cost -saving measures can help the City meet its budgetary goals. Walsh believes
these measures will be especially useful to the City on the numerous, smaller -scale projects which we
anticipate under the Environmental Services Contract. The following sections detail our personnel and
significant other direct costs.

Price Disclaimer
Pricing is provided as reference information only. Per sample costs will be affected by matrix type, activity levels, sample numbers, tests, QC criteria,
deliverables, period of performance, TAT, or other project specific requirements. Please note that disposal charges and sample minimums may affect
total costs.
Paragon must be contacted and authorization must be provided prior to any sample shipments. Final per sample costs and any additional applicable fees
(Rush TAT surcharges, Small Batch surcharges, Reporting surcharges, Matrix surcharges, etc.) will be negotiated with the client prior to shipments.
Sample Minimums
Please note that Paragon has instituted a small batch surcharge policy. Batch sizes of less than three samples will incur the greater of a
$250 minimum, or a 3x multiplier per test per matrix QC charge, due to method QC requirements for blanks, MS/MSDs and LCS/LCSDs.
This surcharge is determined on a case by case basis and can be waived except in expedited turnaround time cases.
Sampling Kits and Shipping
Costs include complete sampling kits shipped via second -day economy to your location. Sample kits must be ordered not less than 5 business days prior
to delivery to avoid shipping charges being billed to your account. These kits include sample containers and preservatives, chain of custody documents,
labels, coolers and packing material. Unreturned coolers and bottles may be billed at cost plus handling charges unless approved in advance.
Client bears financial responsibility for shipping samples to the laboratory.

For method 5035, Paragon will freeze samples thereby allowing a 14 day hold time to be utilized. Unit costs do not include EnCore@ samplers.
Re -preps or re -analyses performed for radiological procedures due to matrix interferences will incur a difficult matrix surcharge of 50%. Client will be
contacted prior to initiation of re -work that would fall under the difficult matrix surcharge.
Radium 226/228 by gamma spec is method constrained to a 30 day turnaround time to allow for —99% ingrowth of the Radon-222 and Pb/Bi-214
daughters used for the determination.
When Ra-226 is requested to be reported by GFP method 903.0: At the discretion of the laboratory, the samples may be counted prior to the requested
decay period (typically 14 or 21 days). If the results are less than the requested MDC, they will be reported with an appropriate narrative comment,
without further qualification.
Handlinu of Radioactive Samples
Paragon understands that no radioactivity above background is anticipated.
Potentially radioactive samples will require an additional day of turnaround time for screening. Prescreening data provided by the client must be
approved by the lab prior to sample acceptance.
Our radioactive license allows Paragon to accept up to 10 mCi Alpha, IOmCi Beta, 50 mCi H3 and 1 mCi source material.
Samples will incur a 25% Health and Safety surcharge for: alpha >1nCi/l or 0.5 nCi/g, beta/gamma > 2 nCi/l or 1 nCi/g, or tritium > 100 nCi/l or 1nCi/g.
Samples with activities exceeding 1000pCi/G or L gamma will be quoted on a case by case basis.
Sample Disposal
Samples and process wastes will be disposed of gratis unless: they are both radioactive and contain TSCA or RCRA wastes, contain high level waste as
defined in 1 OCFR60.2 or contain enriched uranium in excess of 2000 pCi/g. Samples and wastes in those classifications will be returned to the client at

ZI Walsh
vironmental Scientists and Engineers. LLC
Walsh's program manager for Fort Collins, Hal Stuber, has a doctorate in environmental chemistry, 25
years of professional experience, and is one of the founders of Walsh. He has served as Program
Manager under the City's General Environmental Services Contract since 1997.
As part of our commitment to a long-term relationship with the City, Walsh has provided Dr. Stuber's
professional services to the City at rates that are discounted from his normal rates, and we offer to
continue that practice in the future. Walsh estimates that these discounted rates have saved the City more
than $30,000 in the last five-year term of our contract (2002-2007) with Fort Collins.
Another advantage Walsh offers to Fort Collins is our understanding and ability to address the unique
kinds of environmental problems that municipal governments often require. For example, many firms
perform Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. However,
Walsh offers extensive experience and knowledge in "appropriate
level" of investigation for corridor studies or acquisitions, or for
assessments for street widening, temporary and permanent
easements, strip acquisitions for bikeways, or assessments prior to
utility installations, etc. Walsh understands the unique
requirements and concerns of a city, resulting from city's roles as
both owner and acquirer of properties that are subject to liability
and regulation, and its many roles in planning, development, and
construction.
Walsh has demonstrated that it can provide outstanding technical
services, and perform pioneering work in environmental
assessment and remediation. Examples include Walsh's
pioneering work in the discovery, characterization, assessment of
health risk, and remediation of indoor air impacts arising from
ground water contamination. Our work on indoor air at the
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Headquarters
site in the Denver metropolitan area is recognized as the first
major project of its kind. The scientific and engineering expertise
we gained on that project has helped the City identify and address
the potential concerns for the City's new Northside Community
Center.
For the City of Louisville, Walsh is conducting
Phase I and I I ESAs for the redevelopment of
land adjacent to the proposed FasTracks
commuter rail station. This project is being
funded by an EPA Brownfields Grant.
We are up-to-date on regulatory developments that could affect the City. For example, we worked
extensively on behalf of the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority (FRA) to collaborate with CDPHE to
create protocols for investigating and remediating asbestos in soils at the Fitzsimons site. These protocols
were subsequently adopted by CDPHE into new state-wide regulations governing the handling of
asbestos in soils.
Part of our ability to stay at the leading edge of environmental and regulatory developments derives from
our work on important projects. Dr. Hal Stuber is also Program Manager for Walsh's contract to provide
Environmental Services for the Regional Transportation District's (RTDs) FasTracks Program. RTD's
FasTracks Program is a $4.5 billion program to construct and operate 9 rapid transit corridors, including
119 miles of light and commuter rail transit, scheduled for completion in 2016-17. This project will
require efficient, state-of-the-art site assessment, remedial action, and data management efforts over an
extended period. Walsh believes our ongoing experience in this major public project will be of
significant benefit to the City of Fort Collins.

Environmental Scientists and Engineers. LLC
We view it as our responsibility to go beyond mere completion of assigned tasks, and to guide and assist
the City and its staff in diverse multidisciplinary projects, and to insure coordination and success.
One example of the capabilities, commitment and continuity that Walsh offers to the City is our record of
working with the City staff on the Aztlan Site. In the 1990s, Walsh helped the City win an EPA
Brownfields Grant of $250,000 for assessment in the Poudre River Corridor. While working under that
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant in September, 2002, Walsh staff members discovered and
characterized coal tar releases to the Poudre River. Following that discovery, Walsh provided continuous,
comprehensive technical support to the City through the multi -year process of helping to identify the
source and responsible parties, and the review, evaluation, planning, construction, regulatory agency
relations, and monitoring of an approximately $17 million remedial action completed on City property by
the responsible parties.
An example of a different kind of
commitment to the City of Fort Collins is
Walsh's support of the Poudre Landmarks
Foundation efforts to restore and present to
the public the historic Romero House, the
first adobe house in Fort Collins. In 2002,
Walsh was approached by Margit
Hentschel of the City's Natural Resources
Department, who inquired if we could
assist the Poudre Landmarks Foundation
efforts. When Walsh learned that the City
had no funds to offer, we offered to provide
asbestos and lead paint inspections services
(pro-bono) on this worthy project. Walsh
is proud to have been a part of this effort,
and that the historic Romero House is now
accessible to the public.
About Walsh. Walsh is a
multidisciplinary environmental services
firm founded (1979) and headquartered in
Colorado. Walsh offers expertise in all
phases of environmental site assessments,
contaminant investigations, remedial
design and construction, ecological
assessment and restoration, air quality
investigations and permitting, human and
ecological risk assessment, auditing,
modeling and compliance.

KEY PROJECTS
EXPERT WITNESS PROJECTS
GRADING AND DRAINAGE ISSUES FOR PARKING LOT DISPUTE, STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO
Provided expert opinion and testimony on grading and drainage issues related to a dispute over water
damage to a parking lot. Based on document review and site visits, testimony covered potential sources
of water to the site, historic drainage patterns and disturbances, and continuous flow vs. stormwater runoff
events.
STREAM RESTORATION & CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
LEACH CREEK STREAM CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT, GRAND .JUNCTION, COLORADO
Ms. Ash designed stream corridor enhancements for a channelized section of Leach Creek.
Enhancements were designed to restore natural channel form and function, improve the aquatic
environment, and provide mitigation for jurisdictional impacts permitted under the Nationwide Permit
program. Proposed enhancements included channel realignment to improve sinuosity, creation of
appropriate channel geometry including bank layback and low overflow benches, bank protection
treatments, and restoration of native vegetation for riparian habitat. The restoration of bankfull sinuosity
allowed the channel to perform natural functions of local scour and deposition, dissipating energy in the
appropriate manner for low gradient fluvial systems. The low overflow benches provided greater flood
attenuation, groundwater recharge, nutrient replenishment, and they substantially improved the natural
aesthetic for the corridor. The native revegetation restored the corridor's overhead cover functions,
providing shading and cooling, as well as a detritus source for the system. The restored root matrix
helped stabilize eroding channel banks. The project also included coordination for mitigation
compensation on another project located nearby.
GYPSUM CREEK FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT, GYPSUM, COLORADO
Aquatic habitat improvements along Gypsum Creek included both instream and bankside treatments. Instream
treatments served to improve deepwater habitat, create flow separation or concentration zones, increase low
flow sinuosity, provide instream cover, improve adult fish habitat, create nursery areas, and enhance spawning
opportunities. Bankside treatments for aquatic habitat improvements included creation or enhancement of
overhead cover, provision of protective cover and enhancing shading, cooling, and nutrient cycling functions.
Bank protection treatments served to correct localized bank instabilities and reduce bank erosion and the
potential for sediment deposition downstream. Because the Gypsum Creek corridor was in very good
condition initially, the enhancement work was designed following a "don't do more harm than good"
philosophy. Only low intensity, low impact treatments were utilized. Only small, rubber -tired construction
equipment was allowed onsite and only in specified reaches where established microhabitats would not be
affected. Equipment was not allowed to "drive" the channel. Work was conducted by hand in all areas that
were inaccessible by equipment.
INSTREAM HABITAT STUDY FOR THE NORTH FORK, BOSS, AND O'HAVER IFIM ANALYSES,
SAN ISABEL NATIONAL FOREST
Ms. Ash conducted an instream flow study to analyze different flow management scenarios for rainbow,
cutthroat, brook, and brown trout habitat and riparian vegetation in streams affected by storage of water in
North Fork, Boss, and O'Haver Lakes. The study was in support of United States Forest Service (USFS),
San Isabel National Forest evaluation of potential changes in aquatic habitat below North Fork, Boss, and
O'Haver Reservoirs resulting from hydrologic operations at each dam. The evaluation was conducted as a
component of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressing re -permitting of each reservoir. The

improvements to help prevent the reformation of rills and other erosive features after the restoration work.
The analysis also determined the maximum acreage that could be returned to natural drainage patterns
without threatening the stability of the receiving tributary below. Ms. Ash provided design details,
developed site maps, performed earthwork calculations, conducted calculations for channel sizing and
instream structure design, provided materials quantifications, and provided assistance for technical notes
and construction oversight.
HYDRAULIC CAPACITY ANALYSIS FOR JURISDICTION DETERMINATION AT CARTER LAKE
Conducted hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for the drainage located below a proposed reservoir to
evaluate overland flow connection for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdiction
determination. She helped USACE develop quantitative approach and scientific basis for field
application of current regulations regarding "isolated waters of the U.S."
STREAM AND FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION AT COAL MINING FACILITY, KENTUCKY
Member of technical design team tasked with assessment and restoration of 26 miles of stream corridor
following the accidental release of 250 million gallons of coal slurry into two separate drainages in
eastern Kentucky. Several local drainages, unaffected by the release, were employed as reference reaches
to guide channel rehabilitation and habitat improvement design. Ms. Ash conducted multiple hydraulic
analyses using U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS software. Analyses included determination of
bankfull discharge using field indicators of bankfull stage, quantification of predicted improvements to
shear stress, stream power, and velocity as a result of proposed restoration activities, verification of
floodwater surface elevations, and shear stress -limited evaluation of bioengineered bank treatments. Ms.
Ash also conducted a geomorphic analysis using regime equations and hydraulic geometry relationships
to determine stable channel characteristics for specific stream types. In addition to the channel work,
comprehensive riparian corridor restoration was a major component of the restoration project. Ms. Ash
provided estimated flow depths for the low flow (or sustaining flow) using the HEC-RAS models to help
guide plant zonation for the revegetation efforts.
STREAM CHANNEL CREATION TO SUPPORT WETLAND MITIGATION, COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
Conducted water budget calculations and performed hydrologic analyses using Soil Conservation Service
TR-55 methods for a 2.5-acre streamside wetland area and the meandering stream channel that supports
it. Natural channel design imitated natural prairie drainages and included a mild gradient, a high level of
sinuosity, a wide floodplain, and vegetated channel bottoms. Ms. Ash developed stable channel
conditions using regime relationships for geomorphic characteristics. Meander geometry formulas were
used to establish the channel's geomorphology, including meander wavelength, amplitude, and radius of
curvature.
MOUNTAIN STREAM CORRIDOR RESTORATION, TELLURIDE, COLORADO
Managed river corridor restoration project from field assessments through design and construction.
Technical design team completed design with components including re-establishment of stable channel
slope and geometry, channel realignment to natural sinuous plan form, low flow concentration and
creation of deepwater pools and riffles for aquatic habitat, reduction of runoff -induced situation,
improvement of bridge hydraulics, management of the upstream sediment supply, wetland creation, and
revegetation of the riparian corridor. Ms. Ash provided construction oversight for the project with
support services including site layout, survey checks, onsite guidance for design plan implementation,
environmental compliance assistance, field modifications, and general operations support.
CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS AT CITY NATURAL AREA, DENVER, COLORADO
Member of technical design team and construction supervisor for channel stabilization and habitat
improvement project through a City of Denver natural area. Design components utilized combinations of
traditional and bioengineering techniques to enhance habitat value while accommodating high -risk
conditions in the urban setting and included drop structures for slope reduction, low flow and flood
channels, bank stabilization, shortgrass prairie restoration. Ms. Ash obtained the Section 404 permit for
the project and designed a wetland mitigation area as compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts.
Julie E. Ash, P.E.
Ms. Ash also provided construction oversight for the project. Construction support services included cost
estimating, site layout, survey checks, onsite guidance for design plan implementation, and environmental
compliance assistance, and troubleshooting and field modifications.
RIVER CORRIDOR RESTORATION AT PRIVATE RANCH, KREMMLING, COLORADO
Designed and supervised construction of a project on a private ranch to restore a historic side channel of
the Colorado River, which had been dammed into three elongated, stagnant ponds. Design components
included creation of deepwater pools and riffles for aquatic habitat, a fish nursery area, wetland creation,
and development of a riparian corridor. Ms. Ash performed hydraulic calculations to predict backwater
conditions and determine instream structure spacing. Ms. Ash also provided construction oversight for
the project, including site layout and survey checks.
WETLAND MITIGATION & SHORELINE STABILIZATION PROJECTS
CREATION OF WETLAND SWALE, COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
Completed the design and construction drawings for creation of an approximately 2-acre wetland
mitigation project. Project components included creation of low earthen check structures to retain water
delivered from an existing storm water system. The check structures route water to a small pond at the
lower end of the wetland. Spreader ditches, along with shallow excavation within the swale, maximized
the wetted area within the Swale. Habitat diversity was promoted by clustering native tree and shrub
species in drier areas and planting a mix of native herbaceous species in wetter zones.
SHORELINE STABILIZATION AT REMNANT GRAVEL POND, BOULDER COUNTY, COLORADO
Developed a shoreline stabilization plan for the wave -battered eastern shoreline of a gravel pond with habitat
enhancement features for shallow and deepwater fish habitat in the pond. Design included a variety of
protective "bank logs" with innovative placement to create a more natural, undulating shoreline. The
naturalized shoreline provided aesthetic improvement and encouraged development of more diverse
microhabitats, such as small pocket pools and localized shade zones. Willow installations restored the
stabilizing root mass that previously protected the shoreline. Protection of the new shoreline vegetation was
accomplished by submerged breakwater structures to avoid the use of riprap.
WETLAND REMEDIATIONAT FISH HATCHERY, TOPONAS, COLORADO
Developed the wetland remediation design and construction drawings for the upper and lower meadow
mitigation areas. Components of the remediation included creation of a three -cell system with water
distribution achieved by multiple rock cascade outlets and spreader ditches for the upper meadow and a
distribution ditch with intermittent timber drop structures with v-notch outlets for the lower meadow.
Native seed and plantings restored wet meadow conditions in the upper meadow and installation of native
woody species improved diversity in the lower meadow.
ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION CENTER AT RECREATION PARK, FLORIDA
Designed a tropical hardwood hammock, herbaceous littoral marsh, and artificial reef to be used as part of an
ecological education center with outdoor classroom at a recreation park in South Florida.

Mr. Baltzer has 27 years of professional experience including 10 as a soil geologist and Quaternary
tectonics specialist investigating earthquake hazards to major structures, and 17 as an environmental
consultant. He has performed environmental and geologic investigations on hundreds of sites, has
prepared written reports for most of these, and has delivered presentations on several dozen projects. Mr
Baltzer manages the Western Colorado branch office of Walsh Environmental, ensuring that work
produced in that office meets the high standards set by the corporate office. He also teaches various
environmental courses for the Mesa State College Environmental Restoration Program.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS
Mr. Baltzer has produced or assisted with over 1,000 ESAs on industrial, multi -family, retail, warehouse,
vacant, and other properties. These ESAs, which follow the American Standards for Testing and
Materials guideline, have revealed hidden contamination of various types. He performed level two site
assessments and accurately quantified environmental contamination. He has prepared and implemented
dozens of cleanup plans for contaminated sites.
HAZARDOUS AND SPECIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
Mr. Baltzer arranges and ensures proper remediation, handling, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Waste
removal projects have included wastes of unknown origin and content, and the treatment of hazardous
wastes to render them non -hazardous.
ASBESTOS PROJECTS
Mr. Baltzer has performed hundreds of asbestos inspections of structures strictly following state and
AHERA protocols. He has managed all types of asbestos -containing materials, focusing on identifying
hazards, yet eliminating some suspect materials from abatement. Mr. Baltzer has worked with CDPHE to
minimize abatement costs, and made recommendations for handling asbestos -containing materials
resulting in substantial cost savings for his clients. He has prepared and implemented asbestos -
contaminated soil removal projects.

Condition Class 1, 2, or 3, respectively. Community and structure hazards were determined using the
NFPA 1144 procedure. Fire history and ignition rate potential defined wildfire risks. Proposed fuel
projects included weed abatement within communities, strategically placed fuel breaks within 1-3 miles
around communities, and managing FRCC 3 fuels to class FRCC 1. Non -fuel mitigation needs include
strategically located water sources, public outreach, and improving the firefighting capabilities of the
Rangeland Fire Protection Associations. Public meetings were convened to provide educational materials,
present information on the need for the CWPP, discuss the findings of the analysis, and proposed
hazardous fuels and non -fuel mitigation projects. PowerPoint presentations and wall maps were used to
present wildfire risk and hazard findings and proposed mitigation projects.
Dr. Barker participated in developing CWPPs for nine communities in the Kenai Peninsula Borough,
Alaska. These projects required the identification of wildfire hazards and risk to communities, which were
identified through fuels and structure surveys, and studying maps of fire regime condition class, fire
history, and ignition risk potential. Hazardous fuel projects were prescribed based on community hazard
and proximity of FRCC 3 fuels and ignitions risk potential. Non -fuel digitization priorities were defined
through interviews with fire and county officials. PowerPoint presentation and maps were prepared for
community meetings to discuss wildfire hazards, risks, and mitigation opportunities.
WILDLAND —URBAN INTERFACE COMMUNITY -AT -RISK WILDFIRE RISK ASSESSMENT
Dr. Barker was project manager and technical lead to teams conducting wildfire community -at -risk WUI
projects to assess the risk of wildfire and develop mitigation plans to reduce its risk. Clients included
Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Fire Safe Council, Tennessee Division of Forestry, Boise, Teton,
and Power Counties, ID, and Eagle County, CO. This work required interacting with local, state and
federal agencies to plan and coordinate project activities. Dr. Barker managed the fieldwork and
community outreach efforts of teams conducting the wildfire hazard assessments. Fieldwork included
fuel and structure inventories, community outreach and education, community profiling, and report
preparation. Dr. Baker developed fire hazard assessments and mitigation plans for over 50 communities
in Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, Nevada, and Tennessee, and four counties in Idaho and Colorado. He
participated in over 100 public meetings to educate communities on the risk of wildfire and actions that
they could take to reduce its risk. Additionally, he worked with communities and fire management
agencies to improve communication and coordination.
For the BLM Oregon Vale District, Dr. Barker directed an effort to assess wildland fire risk for nine
communities and define appropriate mitigation practices to reduce its risk in Malheur, Baker, and
Wallowa Counties. Two field teams were simultaneously conducting the fuel and structures surveys to
complete the field work within a 3-month period. The assessment areas around each community were
approximately 150 square miles. Mitigation projects were defined based on field observation and
interviews with agency staff, public officials, and private landowners. Two public meetings per
community were convened to discuss fire risks and hazards, and potential mitigation projects. Detailed
maps and reports that documented landscape and structure level of risk, potential mitigation projects, fire
condition class, roads, surface water, and values at risk were produced.
Dr. Barker has also served as range scientist and fire ecologist on the BLM's Roan Plateau Resource
Management Plan Addendum and Environmental Impact Statement.
For the BLM Upper and Lower Snake River Districts, Dr. Barker directed a large effort to assess wildland
fire risk for 17 communities and define appropriate mitigation practices to reduce its risk. Four field
teams were simultaneously conducting the fuels structure and community profile surveys to complete the
field work within a 3-month period. Many assessment areas were over 100-miles square. Mitigation
projects were defined based on field observation and interviews with agency staff, public officials, and
private landowners. Two public meetings per community were convened to discuss fire risks and hazards,
and potential mitigation projects. Detailed maps and reports that documented landscape and structure

level of risk, potential mitigation projects, fire condition class, roads, surface water, and values at risk
were produced.
WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT PLANNING
Dr. Barker is the technical lead for completing a wildland fire management plan for Buckley Air Force
Base. The assessment required meetings with key staff, such as the Base Fire Marshall, Natural and
Cultural Resources Manager, and Public Affairs Office. Some of the issues developed in the plan
included existing conditions, firefighter training and equipment needs, wildland fire history, wildland fire
effects, fuels, prescribed fire and smoke plume management, pre -fire planning and management, fire
suppression actions, and post -fire actions. The plan meets the requirements of the newly promulgated Air
Force wildland fire management regulations.
NEPA ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
Dr. Baker participated in an interdisciplinary team to complete an extensive and complex Environmental
Assessment for Arizona BLM to revise current resource management plans and fire management plans to
be compliant with the National Fire Management Plan (Arizona Statewide Land use Plan Amendment for
Fire, Fuels, and Air Quality Management). He served as the resource lead for vegetation and fuels, range
ecology and grazing, fire ecology and management, land use, and invasive weeds. He developed
extensive descriptions of natural vegetation, wildland fuels, and invasive weeds. He also identified fire
history, fire condition class, desired future condition, and appropriate fuels management practices for the
vegetation classes. He described potential impacts of wildland fire on livestock grazing, land use, and
invasive weed management. He coordinated the vegetation and fuels information with other resource
leads.
Dr. Barker is participating on the interdisciplinary team that is revising the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) Hollister Field Office 1984 Resource Management Plan (RMP). Dr. Barker is responsible for
wildland fire management in this effort. Wildland fire management is a critical component of the revision
because wildfire occurrence is frequent and prescribed fire is used to reduce hazardous fuels, improve
wildlife habitat, and manage noxious and invasive weeds. The planning area was divided into eight fire
management zones (FMZ) based on terrain, fuels, and management needs. Historic fire patterns, recent
fire history, current management goals and practices were described for each FMZ. The EIS analysis
considered four management alternatives with regard to wildland fire management, non -fire fuels
management, livestock grazing and rangeland resources, special management areas, vegetation
management, and post -fire rehabilitation and monitoring.
Dr. Barker is also participating on an interdisciplinary team that is developing a Resource Management
Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for BLM Colorado, Canyons of the Ancients Monument. Dr.
Barker is responsible for wildland fuels and fire management, rangeland resources and grazing,
vegetation, and noxious weeds in this effort. The planning area is divided into four vegetation types.
Vegetation, noxious weeds, livestock grazing, fire history, fuels management, and rangeland use were
described for each type. The associated EIS analysis will consider four management alternatives with
regard to wildland fire management, non -fire fuels management, livestock grazing and rangeland
resources, special management areas, vegetation management, and post -fire rehabilitation and monitoring.
Dr. Barker participated on an interdisciplinary team to complete a comprehensive Environmental
Assessment on forage allocation and grazing management for the BLM Jarbidge Field Office, Idaho
(Permit Renewal and Vegetation Allocation Environmental Assessment). He served as the resource lead
for vegetation, range ecology and grazing, wildland fire, and invasive weeds evaluations. He identified
and described current vegetation types on 19 grazing allotments. He reviewed allotment management
plans to make recommendations to BLM on the method used to calculate livestock animal unit months
and forage allocation. He also evaluated and compared forage allocation and grazing management based
on current practices and compared them with two other management options, including the desired future
condition. After identifying noxious and invasive weeds, he projected population impacts of various
Jerry Barker
management options. Additionally, he evaluated fire history and potential future impacts on grazing
management options.
Dr. Barker also recently completed an EA for expansion of the Colowyo coal mine in Meeker, Colorado.
ECOLOGICAL INDICATOR DEVELOPMENT FOR RESOURCE CHARACTERIZATION AND MONITORING
Dr. Barker led an interdisciplinary team that evaluated approximately 100 riparian forest stands in
western Oregon to develop indicators for resource characterization, vegetation structure and function, and
woody debris loading for long-term monitoring. He provided project specifications on the
implementation and evaluation of survey methods and protocols, data acquisition, and statistical data
analysis. He developed and evaluated indicator metrics and indices of ecological condition of riparian
forests using conceptual models, new and existing data, and computerized statistical analytical programs.
He then convened a workshop of regional riparian scientists to discuss the successes and problems of
several acceptable protocols for monitoring riparian forests, identified common metrics among the
different approaches, and proposed a new monitoring approach that could be widely used.
Dr. Barker was team lead of an effort that characterized the historical vegetation of watersheds and
riparian corridors in eastern Oregon. He used General Land Office survey records, journals, pictures,
potential natural vegetation maps, and bird habitat characteristics to describe forest, grassland, and
riparian vegetation structure and composition ca. 1885. This information was used to describe pristine
attributes for categorizing current watershed and riparian conditions.
Dr. Barker developed a method to judge ecological site condition and indicators of grazing intensity for
the central coast rangelands of Somalia, East Africa. Gradients of grazing intensity were used to identify
vegetation structure and composition, and soil surface indicators of low-, moderate-, and high -intensity
livestock grazing. Ecological site condition classes were described based on vegetation and soil
conditions of high -use and low -use areas. The ecological site indicators and classes were then tested for
applicability throughout the region and ease of use by Somali range managers.
Dr. Barker developed ecological indicators of visitor impact on scenic view areas and campgrounds at
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. Low- and high -use areas were identified based on park ranger
perception of use for a given scenic view area or campground. Vegetation and soil -surface attributes were
evaluated to characterize difference among low -use, high -use, and no -use areas. Vegetation attributes
consisted of plant cover, density, frequency, and observable tissue damage. The soil attributes measured
were soil bulk density, soil infiltration rate, overland water flow, and sediment production. Subsequently,
ecological indicators were defined that could be used to assess the degree of impact from visitor use.
AIR POLLUTION EFFECTS ON ECOSYSTEMS
He led a team that assessed the potential effects of alternative motor fuel combustion products on
vegetation. Literature reviews were used to identify combustion products from fuel additives, such as
methanol and MTBE, at various mixtures with gasoline and 100% methanol. Formaldehyde was found to
be a common pollutant at high concentrations in most fuel mixtures. Four plant species were exposed to
various concentrations of formaldehyde -contaminated fog in greenhouses over a several week period.
Analytical models were employed to evaluate potential vegetation exposure in the South Coast Air Basin
of California given various assumptions of methanol and MTBE fuel use by vehicles.
Dr. Barker convened a workshop of internationally renowned biodiversity and air pollution scientists to
assess the potential effects of air pollution on biodiversity and solicited the Electrical Power Research
Institute and US Fish and Wildlife Service to co-sponsor the workshop. He chaired the interdisciplinary
workshop and served as lead editor for the subsequent book based on the proceedings.

In Colorado, Walsh has served as consultant for the State's Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)
Trust for 18 years, and has over 18 years of continuous service to CDOT as a provider of comprehensive
environmental services. Other major government clients in Colorado include the cities of Grand Junction,
Longmont, Boulder (Department of Public Works; Office of Human Resources; Department of
Community Design, Planning; and Development, and the Department of Recreation), Arvada, Aurora,
Broomfield, Commerce City, Colorado Springs, Denver, Littleton, Loveland, Louisville, Westminster,
and the Town of Erie. Other Colorado clients include the Colorado Departments of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE), Labor and Employment - Oil and Public Safety Section (OPS), Corrections
(CDOC), and the Regional Transportation District (RTD), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
(NREL), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Rocky Flats Site. Our clients also include a wide
variety of manufacturing, oil, chemical, mining, real estate, banking, law, agricultural, and other
businesses.
Walsh has developed very positive relationships with
Colorado regulatory agencies over the past 22 years. We
are highly experienced with the CDPHE's Hazardous
Materials and Waste Management Division, Division of
Solid Waste, Water Quality Division, the Colorado Water
Quality Control Commission, and the UST and AST
regulators at the OPS. We have presented, negotiated,
and received approval from Colorado regulators for site
assessment approaches and conclusions, waste
management and disposal plans, Corrective Action Plans
(CAPS), and remediations at hundreds of sites in
Colorado. Through this experience with Colorado and
federal regulatory requirements and processes, Walsh can
expedite resolution of Fort Collins' environmental issues.
Here, Walsh provides a tour of the Burlington mine
remediation project to CDPHE personnel. This
project won the 2006 Colorado Hard Rock Mine
Reclamation Award presented by the Colorado
Mining Association.
Our successful record with regulatory agencies is reflected in our extensive, multi -year interactions with
both U.S. EPA Region VIII personnel, including both EPA Brownfields and EPA CERCLA program
staff, and with State of Colorado Voluntary Cleanup Program personnel on various aspects of the City's
complex Aztlan Site. EPA Region VIII staff respected Walsh technical conclusions on complex matters
such as the "fingerprint" identification of coal tar releases at the site, among many others. State staff have
reviewed and accepted our conclusions on the source of chlorinated solvents within the former landfill,
and engineering design of systems to prevent vapor intrusion at the new Community Center, and monitor
indoor air, among others.
Walsh personnel in Colorado include over 60 environmental scientists and engineers and support staff.
Our multidisciplinary, full -service approach has always been to provide state-of-the-art professional
service, not only in investigative methods, technical expertise, and solutions, but also in data handling,
graphical presentation, and image processing to optimize the value of our findings to our clients. Walsh's
technical capabilities and those of its subcontractors, and Walsh's facilities provide comprehensive
coverage of Fort Collins' requirements and the RFP's Scope of Services.
Another example of how Walsh's expertise may benefit the City results from our recent selection as the
firm to provide approximately $2.6 million of asbestos and lead paint assessment services for the
University of Colorado Health Sciences Center site in Denver, Colorado. Walsh has developed
innovative on -site data entry, data management, and management systems for that project, which are

ECOLOGICAL REHABILITATION AND REVEGETATION
Dr. Barker participated on a Utah State University research team responsible for developing methods for
rehabilitating spent oil shale and other disturbed sites on the Utah Oils Shale Lease Tract UA and UB.
Areas for rehabilitation were contoured similarly as the surrounding terrain. Water harvesting and soil
trenches were interspersed throughout the spent shale to develop sites for plant establishment. Seeds and
container -grown seedlings of native plants were planted into the soil trenches. An analogous approach
was used for areas where only the soil had been disturbed. His responsibilities in the multi -year study
were to identify appropriate plant establishment techniques, collect plant seeds and materials for
propagation, evaluate plant soil -water use, and measure plant performance.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
RCRA/HAZARDOUS WASTE PROJECTS
RCRA INDOOR AIR QUALITY, ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS RCRA SITE, LITTLETON, COLORADO
Mr. Cowart was Project Manager from 1999-2004 for an indoor air quality assessment of chlorin-
ated solvents at this former Honeywell electronics assembly facility. This site was regulated un-
der a Consent Order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII. Plans were
developed and implemented for soil gas and indoor air sampling at on -site commercial and at 49
off -site residential locations. Community relations meetings were held to explain the purpose and
findings of studies. Based on evaluations of groundwater, soil gas and indoor air data, the
USEPA concluded that the human health impacts at the site were "under control' and indoor air
monitoring was discontinued.
RCRA INDOOR AIR QUALITY, COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DENVER,
COLORADO
Mr. Cowart was Program Manager from 1997-2001 for an indoor air -quality related hazardous
waste investigation and remediation at the CDOT Headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Leaking
underground storage tanks on -site contaminated groundwater with solvents, which in turn led to
air quality impacts inside roughly 100 apartment buildings and single family residences above the
groundwater plume. For this project, Mr. Cowart directed a RCRA Facilities Investigation, an
Immediate Response Action consisting of soil vapor extraction at 30 structures, a Baseline Risk
Assessment which established Preliminary Remediation Goals, and a Corrective Measures Plan
