Anthony Hicke, PG, project has included: reviewing technical reports and proposals created by CHG (Continued) the design engineer/hydrogeologist team; reviewing technical specifications for well drilling work; performing field observations during well drilling and construction; reviewing subsurface hydrogeologic data, including geophysical electric logs, geologic logs, isolated aquifer zone testing data, and other data; reviewing proposed well designs; commenting on pumping testing procedures; and providing opinions and summaries to AVEK. To date, four production wells have been constructed at the property, with an additional 6 wells slated to begin construction in late Spring of 2022. Well 17 Rehabilitation and Equipping -Chino, CA: Project Manager for rehabilitation of Well 17 that was constructed in 2006 and designed by RCS, however, the well was never placed on line and has remained idle since its construction. In 2021, the well was identified to be part of the City's Eastside Treatment Facility project. RCS is currently leading a well rehabilitation effort for the well, and is tasked with preparing technical specifications for the work, as well as field oversight during the work. Once complete, RCS will provide recommendations for normal operational use based on post -rehabilitation testing. Indio Water Authority (IWA), Well Siting Study - Indio, CA: Project Manager and Principal Hydrogeologist for the well siting effort. RCS evaluated more than ten properties owned or accessible to IWA throughout the IWA service area that could be used as a new well site. RCS reviewed and summarized the hydrogeologic conditions throughout the IWA service area to identify the "hydrogeologically desirable" areas of the basing with respect to water quality and quantity. Each potential site was then evaluated for a number of factors including: potential well production rate; water quality impairments; distance to distribution infrastructure, construction suitability, permitting feasibility, among others. Working closely with IWA staff, RCS developed a ranking matrix to score each property so that the properties could be compared and ranked. RCS also included key design parameters for a future well at the selected site, as well as an approximate estimate of construction costs for the well for budgetary planning purposes. Construction at the RCS -proposed well site is expected to begin in late 2022. Conceptual Groundwater Basin Model and Assessment of Available Groundwater Supplies, and Construction of City Hall Well - Santa Monica, CA: Senior Groundwater Geologist for the Safe Yield Study and Project Manager for City Hall Well construction. The initial RCS project involved providing a detailed hydrogeologic conceptual model of subsurface hydrogeologic conditions in each groundwater sub -basin, including: locations of known water wells; definition of groundwater flow directions and current water quality; identifying the base of fresh water; calculating groundwater in storage; defining aquifer parameters; evaluating water levels vs trends in historic rainfall; and preparing several cross sections using detailed correlations of E-logs from several water wells and numerous oil wells. Preliminary locations and drilling depths for new city wells were also identified. Additional work included preparation of Technical Specifications and Line Item Bid Sheets for a new city well at City Hall. RCS geologists were present in the field to: log the drill cuttings; evaluate the new E-logs; conduct isolated aquifer zone testing; prepare the final design of the well and monitor well construction development and testing of the new well.
