PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Edwards Aquifer

Mr. Neathery has participated in numerous geologic assessments on the Edwards Aquifer Recharge and Transition Zones in San Antonio, Austin and Georgetown. He has mapped over 3,000 acres of land. These assessments included air photo interpretation and field mapping to locate caves, closed depressions, faults, fractures, sinkholes, solution cavities, vuggy zones, and other geologic features. After the features were identified, they were assessed to determine their sensitivity. In the early 1990’s, Mr. Neathery also served on an informal committee with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) along with local geologists to revise the procedures for performing geologic assessments in order to obtain a more consistent assessment of the sensitivity of the features by various geologists. Mr. Neathery was also asked to perform an investigation on the Encino Park Cave, one of the largest caves found in Bexar County.

Solid Waste

Mr. Neathery has prepared geologic and hydrogeologic portions of permit applications (Attachment 11) as well as soil and liner quality control plans (Attachment 12) for Type I municipal landfills sites in Del Rio and San Antonio. In addition to landfill permitting activities, Mr. Neathery has conducted various other studies at different landfill sites. These include soil and liner evaluations (SLERS), in Austin, Kerrville, Lubbock, and San Antonio, clay reserve calculations for landfills in Donna, Kerrville, and San Antonio; detailed hydrogeologic studies in Donna and Raymondville; a detailed resistivity survey of a proposed naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) landfill site in Brackettville; infiltration testing of clay liners in Kerrville; and delineation of abandoned waste cells in Donna. Mr. Neathery has also conducted annual monitoring that included groundwater monitoring and earth resistivity surveys at landfills in San Antonio.

Environmental & Engineering Geology

Mr. Neathery has participated in numerous subsurface contamination assessments. These projects included a hydrogeologic investigation in Quemado, Texas, where the water supply for approximately half of the town was contaminated from a leaking underground storage tank; a vados zone investigation in San Antonio, where contamination levels in the soil were high enough to contribute to two explosions while work crews were excavating utility trenches; and remediation of a site in San Marcos where gasoline traveled a quarter of a mile on top of the ground-water table before discharging into the Blanco River. Mr. Neathery also conducted a subsurface investigation at the VIA Metropolitan Transit terminal in San Antonio, Texas where free product was found.

Mr. Neathery has performed a geophysical survey using electromagnetic conductivity and ground penetrating radar to assess subsurface geologic conditions and locate underground utilities at the VA Hospital in Waco, identify the extent of fill material in a large undeveloped site in San Antonio, and identify the locations of underground storage tanks beneath a high rise building in Austin. He has also conducted field activities for an assessment of the geologic and hydrogeologic conditions of a site for a proposed biomedical research facility in San Antonio. In addition, he has mapped over-blast fractures in the highwalls of a large quarry that was later developed as a large amusement park.

Underground Storage Tanks

Mr. Neathery has conducted, participated in, or been responsible for over 150 site investigations involving leaking underground storage tanks (USTs), pipelines, and other subsurface hydrocarbon releases. These investigations included removal of USTs, assessment of the degree and extent of contamination, and remediation of the contaminated media. Mr. Neathery was the contract and project manager for the City of San Antonio's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program and a project manager for the TNRCC's Petroleum Storage Tank Remediation (PSTR) Fund Region V Contract.
