Experience Summary

Mr. Wise has 48 years of experience as a professional geologist in uranium exploration and production, and environmental remediation and consulting related experience. His experience includes exploration and production of South Texas roll-front uranium deposits via the in situ remediation (ISR) technique and extensive experience in assessing and remediating UST and RCRA facilities, and performing Risk Reduction Environmental Site Assessments involving the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP) for various federal, state, and private sector clients. Mr. Wise has been involved with the development of work and remediation plans (soil removal, pump and treat, dual-phase extraction, carbon filtering, containment trenches, etc.), corrective actions plans, sampling procedures, site assessments, hydrogeologic studies, and project management for industrial clients, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and the Department of Defense. Also experienced in site remediation, RCRA Part B applications, deep well disposal, and pipeline permit applications. He has written numerous proposals and reports, and interfaced, at client request, with officials of the states of Texas, Illinois, Missouri, South Carolina, and New York.
