REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE

       HYDROGRAPHY & LIMNOLOGY

Field Manager / Technical Manager, Bathymetric / Sub-Bottom Surveys, Phosphorus Flux and Sediment Evaluation, New York City DEP Reservoirs, Catskill / Delaware Watersheds, New York (Ashokan, Schoharie, Cannonsville, Pepacton, Neversink, Rondout and West Branch Reservoirs). 

The goals of this project were to evaluate post-construction sedimentation rates and the role of sediments in reservoir nutrient dynamics.  To determine sedimentation, high-precision bathymetric and acoustic sub-bottom surveys of seven large (total area of 1,025 km2) water supply reservoirs in the Catskill/Delaware watersheds of central New York State were conducted.   To evaluate sediment/water column nutrient dynamics, approximately 1,000 surficial sediment samples were collected and analyzed for pertinent physical and chemical parameters.  Nearly 300 intact sediment cores were collected for microcosm-scale evaluation of sediment oxygen consumption rates and phosphorus release.  The project demonstrated that brief periods of anoxia were unlikely to result in P release, and suggested that manipulation of hypolimnetic volume could be a useful water quality management tool.

Mr. Wright was the lead technical expert and field manager of a field staff that varied between four to six people depending upon short-term workload requirements.  Mr. Wright was responsible for performing and overseeing day-to-day operations having to do with state-of-the science on board data acquisition for the bathymetric survey and sub-bottom sediment profiling, collection of sediment grab samples for nutrient analyses and collection of undisturbed sediment cores and incubation of the cores in a field laboratory for measurement of phosphorus release P-release and sediment oxygen demand.  Mr. Wright performed all of the hydrographical/geophysical data reduction, analysis and presentation for the project.

Hydrographer / Oceanographic Technician, NOAA Soft-Bottom Trawl Impact Study.

In June 2001, CR Environmental, Inc. began conducting research on fishing gear-induced habitat impacts to soft bottom habitats in Massachusetts Bay off Scituate, Massachusetts.  Mr. Wright was responsible for acquisition and interpretation of side-scan sonar data, bathymetric mapping, collection of benthic biological samples, and developing and maintaining a GIS database for the project.  To date, much of the research on fishing gear-induced habitat impacts focuses on long-term cumulative changes to gravel bottom or rocky substrate communities in areas open to or closed to fishing activity. Because little is known of the historical distribution and density of fishing activity in the open area, it is difficult to quantify the impact of fishing per unit of effort. Using local fishermen’s knowledge, open soft bottom areas subject to low and high intensities of trawling and at similar depths were characterized before and after repetitive passes of smooth bottom net trawl fishing gear. Areas were surveyed for benthic infauna, epifauna, sediment surface characteristics, water column parameters, and fish.  Fish stomach contents and invertebrates were tallied after each of six repetitive trawls. Four southeastern Massachusetts fishing vessels and six or more fishermen participated in much of the data collection and preliminary processing with oversight and training from technical experts.  Marine biologists and oceanographic technicians will analyze the data with input from the fishermen and a final report will be prepared. Such information could improve predictive capabilities in fisheries management for soft bottom habitats, and allow managers to better determine how much fishing can be sustained there and the effectiveness of rotating versus permanent area closures.


Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, Colorado River/Hoover Dam Bathymetric Surveys
Under contract to Ladd Construction, Inc., CR was charged with conducting pre- and post-construction bathymetric surveys of a reach of the Colorado River immediately downstream of the Hoover Dam, beneath the alignment of the new Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge which spans the Black Canyon between Arizona and Nevada.  The goal of the surveys, conducted in 2005 and 2006, was to model the volume of material
deposited in the river during blasting of the canyon walls for construction of anchoring structures.  Project challenges included navigation to the Site from a launching point about 14 miles downstream, overcoming positioning uncertainty associated with work deep in the Canyon, and acquisition of reliable soundings in the highly irregular currents and variable depths below the Hoover Dam.  Mr. Wright designed and executed a precision single-beam bathymetric survey which met the Project's needs and presented volume calculations which documented the relatively small volume of construction-related debris deposition.  All work was approved by Project Engineers, the U.S. FHA and the BLM.
 

Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, NOAA/NMFS Essential Fish Habitat Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveys.  2004. The objectives of this project were to locate areas known by the fishing industry to support high fish productivity and then evaluate the physical and biological attributes of these sites to gain some insight as to why the areas might be considered essential fish habitat.  Two sites were chosen based on the recommendations of fishermen and geophysical characteristics.  These sites were surveyed using swath bathymetry, towed side scan sonar, sub-bottom profiling sonar, and CR's video sled.  Mr. Wright was responsible for survey design, data acquisition & processing, and integration of all data into a coherent GIS database. 

Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, Lower Fox River Side Scan Sonar Archaeological Survey, De Pere, Wisconsin.  2006.  Under contract to Shaw Environmental, Inc., CR & Mr. Wright performed a pre-dredge side scan sonar survey of a very shallow Operable Unit in the Lower Fox River.  Although water depths rarely exceeded two feet, an unconventional deployment of the towfish allowed reliable target identification and substrate characterization to about 10m range.

Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveys Supporting the East River Tide-Energy Project Between 2005 and 2006, Mr. Wright has led CR teams conducting bathymetric, side scan sonar and sub-bottom sonar surveys of the East River, NYC in support of the siting and installation of generation turbines for the initial pilot demonstration phase of this project.  Other work is currently scheduled for expansion of the survey area in 2007.

Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, "The Lake" at Central Park, NYC Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveys.  As part of the New York City Central Park Conservancy's effort to restore The Lake, Mr. Wright lead a CR team which mapped the water depth and sediment thickness of this shallow urban pond.

Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, Quinnipiac River Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveys.  Under contract to URS, Inc., Mr. Wright led a survey team charged with measuring scour beneath an I-95 overpass in support of bridge design efforts, locating sub-sediment utilities, and exploration of the sub-surface along a proposed large utility alignment.  Detailed bathymetric maps, side scan sonar mosaics and maps of magnetic anomalies were provided to project engineers shortly after completion of the field work.

Field Manager / Senior Hydrographer, Connecticut River Bathymetric Surveys.

Mr. Wright directed the acquisition and processing of high precision bathymetric data for a 100-mile reach of the Connecticut River.  This CR survey effort was conducted under an ENSR contract for FEMA.  Over 350 transects were surveyed along reaches of the Connecticut River between White River Junction, Vermont and the Massachusetts border.  

Lead Hydrographer, Geophysical Surveys of the Delaware River, Bordentown, New Jersey.   In support of a feasibility study for construction of a large scale power plant on the bank of the Delaware River, CR Environmental conducted bathymetric, side scan sonar, acoustic sub-bottom, and magnetic surveys of the Bordentown and Whitehall Reaches for ENSR International, Inc.  Mr. Wright was responsible for directing acquisition, processing and presentation of all geophysical data. 

Project Limnologist / Hydrographer, Lake Quinsigamond and Flint Pond Drawdown Feasibility Evaluation.     As an integral facet of an evaluation of potential management techniques for nuisance aquatic vegetation control, Mr. Wright conducted surveys of aquatic vegetation, bathymetry, and sediment thickness.  The surveys allowed calculation of exposed bottom areas and potentially impacted vegetation for several drawdown scenarios.  The surveys also allowed estimation of the rate of dispersion of nuisance species through comparisons with earlier studies.

Jamaica Bay Bottom Mapping and Remote Benthic Habitat Characterization - Little Bay, Norton Basin, Grass Hassock Channel and Raunt Channel, Jamaica Bay, New York.  CR Environmental performed multibeam bathymetry, side-scan sonar, video sled trawls and RoxANN acoustic bottom surveys for two target basins and two "reference" basins in Jamaica Bay, New York.  Mr. Wright was responsible for interpretation and presentation of the majority of remote sensing data.  CR provided digital and hard-copy versions of all deliverables, including over 25 scaled survey maps and side-scan mosaics depicting dominant habitat types, bathymetry and underwater structures such as ship wrecks.  CR also provided project scientists with accurate hypsographic/volume calculations for each of the target basins and AutoCADD and ArcView GIS versions of survey data.  The surveys were conducted aboard R/V Cyprinodon.

Consulting Field Hydrographer / Geophysicist, New Bedford Harbor/Acushnet River Bathymetric/Sub-bottom Surveys and Vibracore Sediment Sampling.  Working as a sub-contractor for CR Environmental, Mr. Wright provided on-site supervision of bathymetric and sub-bottom survey operations of this Superfund Site.  Following survey operations, Mr. Wright assisted with collection of sediment cores.  The surveys and samples were used by EPA sub-contractors in their investigation of the extent of PCB contamination and possible remedial alternatives.

Field Director, Phase II Sediment Investigation, Cayuga Inlet, Ithaca, New York.  Working as a liaison between CR Environmental and Woodard & Curran, Inc., Mr. Wright designed and managed a multi-phased technology-intensive investigation of sediment contamination in Cayuga Inlet, the largest tributary to Cayuga Lake.  The investigation was designed to determine whether a former MGP facility had contributed to sediment contamination.  The assessment included detailed mapping of water depth and sediment thickness, vibrocoring, and several innovative analytical methods.  Mr. Wright was responsible for all phases of data acquisition, analysis and presentation, as well as contribution to a Fish and Wildlife Impact Assessment in accordance with NY DEC guidance.

Field Hydrographer / Geophysicist, Housatonic River Bathymetric and Sub-bottom Surveys - Woods Pond and Rising Pond.  Working as a sub-contractor to the ecological science team at CR Environmental, Mr. Wright performed bathymetric and sub-bottom surveys of two large impounded ponds on the Housatonic River.  The surveys resulted in accurate estimates of sediment accumulation in the ponds, and aided EPA sub-contractors in their investigation of the extent of PCB contamination and possible remedial alternatives.

Field Hydrographer / Geophysicist, Mamaroneck Harbor Sub-bottom Survey - Mamaroneck, NY, New York District Army Corps of Engineers, Operations Division.    Working as a sub-contractor to the marine science team at CR Environmental, Mr. Wright performed a sub-bottom survey of Mamaroneck Harbor, New York for the operations branch of the New York Army Corps of Engineers.  The purpose of the survey was to map the sub-bottom layers of harbor sediments to aid in the planning of dredging operations.  The Edgetech X-STAR sub-bottom profiler was utilized to collect the acoustic sub-bottom data.  Cross-sectional plans of sub-bottom layers were furnished as final products.

Bathymetric Survey of Springton Lake / Geist Reservoir, Media, Pennsylvania.  In June 2000, Mr. Wright performed a detailed bathymetric survey of  Springton Lake, a water supply reservoir for the Greater Philadelphia region.  The work was performed for the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company (PSWC) to support limnological and water quality investigations.  CR mobilized survey equipment to a small vessel provided by PSWC.  The survey was conducted using HYPACK survey software, a Raytheon DE719 MKII digital fathometer equipped with a 3-degree 200 kHz transducer, and a 12-channel Trimble DGPS.  In addition to scaled plans, data were delivered to project scientists in GIS format.

Field Hydrographer / Geophysicist, Fort Point Channel Sub-Bottom Investigation - Boston, Massachusetts. Mr. Wright applied a Datasonics low-frequency Chirp sonar in a sub-bottom search for “grout blisters” associated with an underground MBTA rail line.  The survey was successful, and subsequent dredging operations in the channel were able to avoid these submerged features, disturbance of which could have resulted in substantial harm to the railway.

Field Hydrographer / Geophysicist, Allen Harbor Bathymetric Survey - Davisville, Rhode Island.  Working as a sub-contractor to the marine science team at CR Environmental, Mr. Wright was the senior hydrographer for three high precision pre-dredge and post-dredge bathymetric surveys of the channel connecting Allen Harbor with Narragansett Bay.  The project provided our client with accurate estimates of the volume of dredge material removed, and confirmed that the dredged channel met ACOE specifications.

 

Evaluation of Nutrient Loading and Eutrophication Potential of Long Sought for Pond, Westford, Massachusetts.    Mr. Wright conducted a two-year water quality evaluation of a large glacial pond, including in-situ measurements of several biological and chemical parameters, deep-core sediment sampling, historical analysis of lake conditions using diatom remains in sediment, and in-depth hydrological analysis.   The goal of the project was to evaluate the potential for adverse impacts due to non-point source phosphorus inputs which might result from future shoreline development.  The evaluation used mass-balance calculations of P-loading as inputs to models of lake responses to nutrients to estimate current and acceptable P-loading rates.  The project concluded that the effects of basin morphometry upon in-lake water circulation had limited lake responses to current P inputs, but strongly suggested that additional loading could result in rapid eutrophic response.

ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT

 

Project Ecologist, Former Rutland State Hospital MCP Site, Rutland, Massachusetts..  Designed and implemented a comprehensive Stage II Ecological Risk Characterization (per Massachusetts MCP) to address potential impacts to a stream and wetland exposed to several heavy metals.  Using a triad approach to sediment quality assessment (bulk toxicity testing, AVS/SEM analysis & macroinvertebrate bioassessments), the ERC conclusively demonstrated that metals were unlikely to harm receptor organisms.
 

Project Ecologist/Taxonomist, Hampshire Chemical Company, Nashua, New Hampshire.  Assisted in the design and implementation of a comprehensive ecological risk characterization program for the Merrimack River.  The project was designed to evaluate potential impacts to fishery resources.  The study incorporated extensive sampling of sediment boundary layer water, sediments and three rounds of quantitative and qualitative benthic macroinvertebrate sampling.  The natural substrate of the river was sampled for invertebrates using a custom built dredge.  Artificial substrates (rock baskets) designed to eliminate substrate variability were deployed at the river bottom, and grab samples were collected from near shore areas.  As the principal invertebrate taxonomist/ecologist for the project, Mr. Wright met or exceeded EPA Science Advisory Board recommendations for taxonomic resolution.  The project demonstrated, based on analyses of the biological data, that site-related impact to fishery resources in the Merrimack River was unlikely.

 

Project Ecologist, Confidential Client, Waltham, Massachusetts.  Investigated the potential ecological impact of the slow release of over 1 million gallons of PCB and heavy metal contaminated waste oil to a 15-acre wetland.  The assessment involved extensive sediment sampling and qualitative/quantitative evaluations of soil invertebrate and stream invertebrate communities.  Data analysis techniques included the equilibrium partitioning approach, effects-level screening, and modeling of bioaccumulative compounds and heavy metals through terrestrial and avian wildlife food chains using measured and predicted body burdens of chemicals in earthworms. Based on invertebrate data, it was demonstrated that portions of the soil invertebrate community had been impacted, although the aquatic invertebrate community had not.  

 

Project Ecologist/Taxonomist, Confidential Client, Concord, Massachusetts.  As an integral portion of a MCP Stage II Ecological Risk Assessment, Mr. Wright developed and implemented a comprehensive biological survey of the aquatic and soil (peat) invertebrate communities of an ombrotrophic peat bog contaminated with uranium and copper.  No impact to invertebrate communities was observed.

 

Project Ecologist, Confidential Client, Hanover, Massachusetts.  Conducted an initial MCP Method 3 Stage I screening level environmental risk assessment of an extensive wetland system which had been contaminated with silver.  This initial assessment suggested that ecological receptors were likely to be harmed by exposure to contaminated wetland soils.  During the Stage II ecological risk assessment which followed, Mr. Wright served as the principal taxonomist for wetland soil invertebrates.  The biological data collected demonstrated that the soil invertebrate community had not been impacted by exposure to silver.

 

Project Ecologist/Taxonomist, Confidential Client, Orange, Massachusetts.  Conducted a bioassessment of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in a headwater stream in which concentrations of hexavalent chromium exceeding U.S. EPA Ambient Water Quality Standards had been detected.  This bioassessment demonstrated that the study stream supported a benthic community similar to a nearby reference stream, proving that the chromium had not caused “gross” impairment to stream biota.

 

Project Ecologist, Confidential Client, Andover, Massachusetts.  Conducted a bioassessment of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in a small stream in which concentrations of lead and copper exceeding U.S. EPA Ambient Water Quality Standards had been detected.  This bioassessment demonstrated that the study stream supported a benthic community similar to a nearby reference stream, proving that the metals had not caused “gross” impairment to stream biota. 

 

Project Ecologist, Norwood PCB Superfund Site.  Mr. Wright developed a defensible Maximum Acceptable Sediment Concentration (MASC) for PCBs in the sediments of a stream adjacent to this CERCLA site.  The MASC was based on bioconcentration / bioaccumulation modeling of PCBs through the food chain using raccoons as receptor organisms.

 

Project Manager / Ecologist, Veryfine Corporation, Westford, Massachusetts (U. Mass. Lowell Research Foundation).  Mr. Wright coordinated and conducted extensive benthic macroinvertebrate sampling, taxonomy and statistical data analysis of biological, chemical and physical parameters to quantify the effects of treated industrial effluent on the receiving aquatic ecosystems.  Mr. Wright collected and identified benthic macroinvertebrate samples from two streams and a pond, as well as sediment and water samples to monitor water quality parameters.  Using ecological indices of community health and statistical analyses of water quality data, Mr. Wright demonstrated Veryfine's compliance with NPDES discharge limits.  In fact, Veryfine's discharge was shown to maintain water flow during periods of negligible natural discharge, thereby sustaining a community of aquatic organisms throughout the summer months. Subsequent to the project's completion, Veryfine received local, state, and national environmental awards.

 

Project Manager, Evaluation of Nutrient Budget and Eutrophication Potential of Long Sought for Pond, Westford, Massachusetts.  Conducted a two-year water quality evaluation of a glacial pond, including in situ measurements of several biological and chemical parameters, deep-core sediment sampling, historical analysis of lake conditions using diatom remains in sediment, and in-depth hydrological analysis.  The aim of the project was to evaluate the potential for adverse impacts due to non-point source phosphorus inputs.  The mass balance calculations presented in the report demonstrated potential risk of eutrophication due to phosphorus inputs.
