the principal engineer or engineer -in -responsible charge for on -site storm water disposal systems <br />in Pomona, Carson, Southgate, Lakewood, La Mirada, Newport Beach, Irvine, and Anaheim. The <br />projects included subsurface investigations, performance of infiltration testing, processing of the data <br />to determine percolation rates for the system design, and results submittal to regulatory agencies and <br />subsequent support of the permitting process. <br />Shoreline Park Athletic Fields, Mountain View, CA. Geotechnical Manager. Dr. Skopek acted as <br />principal geotechnical engineer for the redevelopment of an 11.7-acre closed sanitary landfill located <br />within Shoreline Regional Park into an athletic field facility. The site was required to comply with <br />the landfill closure plan and without encroachment into the existing final cover system or refuse and <br />following applicable regulations to maintain closed landfill status and be suitable for approval by <br />the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The project included geotechnical <br />characterization to compile relevant geotechnical data from published sources, utilization of available <br />historic information and aerial photographs, preliminary subsurface investigations, processing collected <br />data, performance of analyses to evaluate various land use scenarios and provision of parameters <br />for grading and foundation design. A special focus was on the governing geotechnical design <br />consideration, which is the prediction of settlement potential across the site. <br />Biola University On -Site Storm Water Disposal Systems Design, La Mirada.Geotechnical <br />Manager. Dr. Skopek acted as the principal engineer for the investigation and design of the on -site <br />storm water disposal system was a part of the overall geotechnical support of the construction of a <br />new university North Dormitory building and Health and Science building. Besides the conventional <br />subsurface investigation, the task specific effort included performance of in -hole infiltration testing <br />and interpretation of the percolation rates for the design of the buried "aquifer" storm water infiltration <br />system. <br />Design of Phase II Expansion of Las Pulgas Landfill, Camp Pendleton, near Oceanside. <br />Geotechnical Manager. Dr. Skopek acted as the lead design engineer for this extensive project included <br />provision of design, permitting, and construction quality control services. The uniquely relevant <br />component of this project design, oversight and regulatory reporting of the test pad with Sealed Double - <br />Ring Infiltrometer (SDRI), and oversight of field testing and CQA support during the construction <br />including compaction, and BAT Permeameter and Shelby tube hydraulic conductivity testing for the <br />construction and approval of the clay liner <br />Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) Landfill Final Closure, Santa Barbara County, California. <br />Geotechnical Manager. Dr. Skopek acted as the principal geotechnical engineer for the regulatory <br />approval of the final closure of a Class III landfill site with an alternative 4-foot thick evapotranspirative <br />(ET) cover. Services included evaluation of the water retention characteristics and hydraulic conductivity <br />of the borrow soils and sand/clay mixtures, development of sand -clay mixtures of on -site borrow <br />materials for the ET cover construction, water storage assessment to estimate the required minimum <br />ET cover thickness, water balance modeling to demonstrate the performance equivalency between <br />the ET cover and prescriptive landfill cover, parametric studies to evaluate the performance of the ET <br />cover with respect to varied soil and vegetation conditions, development of design and construction <br />recommendations for the proposed ET cover. <br />City of Santa Ana 21ff 6 <br />
