Education Major fields of hydrogeologic emphasis for Mr. Slade include groundwater
<br />University of California, Los resource development (basin -wide studies, and water well design and
<br />Angeles, B.A., Geology, January construction), and aquifer analysis. Principal projects have involved,
<br />1966 evaluations of entire groundwater basins, aquifer test analyses, assessment
<br />University of Southern California, of Water unlit rob g g g
<br />M.S., Engineering Geology, quality problems and groundwater degradation, design of water
<br />1974 wells for municipal supply, well rehabilitation assessments, monitoring of all
<br />phases of water well construction, locating and designing groundwater
<br />Registrations/Certifications monitoring networks, and providing expert witness testimony for groundwater
<br />Professional Geologist, state of California, License 92998 litigation. Considerable work has also been performed for numerous
<br />Certified Engineering Geologist, vineyards and wineries in both the Central Coast and Northern California
<br />State of California, License#929 regions; types of work have included feasibility studies for determining final
<br />locations for new wells, designing new wells, monitoring of the construction
<br />of new wells, working with drilling contractors, evaluating down -hole problems (such as sanding) in existing
<br />wells, and developing protocol for water well rehabilitation.
<br />Hydrogeologic studies have also involved evaluation of hazardous wastes such as acid mine drainage,
<br />leachate from sanitary landfills, and groundwater degradation resulting from leaking underground storage tanks
<br />containing various chemicals and organic compounds. Numerous groundwater studies and monitoring projects
<br />have involved volatile organics (TCE, PCE, etc.) and subsurface gasoline spills. Hydrogeologic assessments
<br />and definition of appropriate mitigation measures for environmental impact analyses have been provided also.
<br />Important to Mr. Slade's broad background is the experience gained while being a participant with other
<br />geologists on international geologic study tours to Europe, Iceland and Scandinavia, the former Soviet Union,
<br />South America, the People's Republic of China, Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Local groundwater and
<br />surface water features, large faults and landslides, mines, and oilfields were visited in these countries.
<br />In December 2008, based on the recommendation of the Administrative Committee (the water managers for the
<br />cities of Burbank, Glendale, Los Angeles and San Fernando, and the Crescenta Valley Water District), the
<br />Superior Court of Los Angeles County selected Mr. Slade as the new Watermaster for the entire Upper Los
<br />Angeles River Area (ULARA). Mr. Slade represents only the third Watermaster of ULARA since the date of the
<br />original adjudication of the region in January 1979.
<br />Experience
<br />RICHARD C. SLADE & ASSOCIATES LLC, CONSULTING GROUNDWATER GEOLOGISTS. Independent
<br />consulting practice established in 1983 to provide technical, professional, and direct personal services to the
<br />groundwater industry. Hydrogeologic projects have included groundwater resource development; locating and
<br />designing water wells; assessing potential degradation resulting from hazardous waste sites and sanitary
<br />landfills; conducting water level and water quality monitoring from monitoring networks; defining aquifer
<br />characteristics from long-term aquifer tests in active wells; observation and monitoring of water well
<br />construction; providing expert witness testimony for a variety of groundwater cases; and providing
<br />hydrogeologic elements and mitigation measures for environmental assessments.
<br />GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTANTS, INC., 1970-1983. Joined the firm in 1970 as an engineering geologist and
<br />hydrogeologist. Advanced to Associate in 1975. Participated in and supervised geotechnical and
<br />hydrogeologic projects of various complexities, from the feasibility level through final design. His investigation
<br />and reports have analyzed faults and seismicity, earth materials, and groundwater problems for such facilities
<br />as dams, reservoirs, treatment plants, tunnels, industrial and residential buildings, sanitary landfills and
<br />groundwater basins. Major experience has involved field mapping, logging of bore holes, monitoring of
<br />groundwater observation holes, data analyses, and report writing.
