What are the responsibilities and job description for the Geologist 9-11/12 - Superfund - Technical Support Unit position at State of Michigan?
Job Description
Geologist 9-P11
This position is responsible for conducting basic geologic/hydrogeologic site investigations and remedial actions using established geologic methods at sites of environmental contamination at federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (Superfund) sites, Defense and State Memorandum of Agreement (DSMOA) sites (including Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS)), and, Part 201, Environmental Remediation, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA) Program sites. Basic sites and associated investigations include locations of relatively less complicated geology and contaminant transport as compared to all sites managed in the section, fewer services to coordinate and less intensive oversight of activities.
Position Description (9-P11)
Geologist 12
This position is responsible for managing/overseeing all aspects of geologic and hydrogeologic advanced site investigations, remedial actions, and monitoring of performance metrics at federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (Superfund) sites, Defense and State Memorandum of Agreement (DSMOA) sites (including Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS)), and, Part 201, Environmental Remediation, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA) Program sites. This position provides technical expertise and recommendations for Remediation and Redevelopment Division enforcement initiatives, division and departmental programs and management, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Department of Defense (DOD), U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), contractors and consultants, field personnel, local governments and the public. Superfund sites are complex, controversial, and high profile sites that require maximum interpretation and judgment due to technical complexities, the use of innovative treatment technologies for remediation, the size and scope of the investigation or cleanup, and /or community/state concerns.
Advanced sites and associated investigations include the following factors/variables: multiple contaminants/types of contaminants; depth that the contaminants have traveled; complex underlying geology or hydrogeology with unique physical characteristics such as multiple aquifer systems, significant stratification, artesian conditions, surface water and groundwater interaction and fractured bed rock; multimedia (groundwater, surface water, sediment, soil and vapor with associated pathways and protocols with DOD USEPA and liable parties); advanced investigation methods which include: use of fate and transport characterization and modeling for contaminant movement, geophysical techniques and soil and vapor contaminant distribution; the development and review of complicated sampling plans; review and evaluation of new & existing equipment/technologies/sampling methodologies and leading edge techniques in complex stratigraphy such as unconsolidated glacial-fluvial and bedrock systems.
