Wesley W. Horner Award, from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Co-author on best paper in Journal of Environmental Engineering in 2000, titled “Modeling Natural Attenuation of Fuels with Bioplume III.”.
1996 Newsmaker Award, presented by the Engineering News-Record, McGraw-Hill Construction Information Group. Cited for achievements that served the industry. As a U.S. EPA scientist has led the effort to take natural attenuation from the lab to the waste cleanup site. The use of naturally occurring microbes in soil to degrade contaminants has already shown promise in cleaning up every-thing from oil spills to munitions waste without huge capital investment. The approach has already saved millions for the U.S. Air Force and is becoming a cost-effective technology for cleanup firms to offer and for regulators and owners to consider.

Wesley W. Horner Award, from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Co-author on best paper in Journal of Environmental Engineering in 2000, titled “Modeling Natural Attenuation of Fuels with Bioplume III.”.
1996 Newsmaker Award, presented by the Engineering News-Record, McGraw-Hill Construction Information Group. Cited for achievements that served the industry. As a U.S. EPA scientist has led the effort to take natural attenuation from the lab to the waste cleanup site. The use of naturally occurring microbes in soil to degrade contaminants has already shown promise in cleaning up every-thing from oil spills to munitions waste without huge capital investment. The approach has already saved millions for the U.S. Air Force and is becoming a cost-effective technology for cleanup firms to offer and for regulators and owners to consider.
