Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) Particle Chemistry EPA DCMD, RTP
EPA Lab, September 2009 to present
This is an ongoing project which includes making substrate/coupons out of five different
building materials; asphalt, brick, concrete, granite and limestone and then dosing coupons
with Cesium (Cs), Cobalt (Co), or Strontium (Sr) to simulate a dirty bomb. Responsibilities
include washing all coupons down with deionized water and collecting and labeling specific
samples. Ensuring that samples collected are then divided and sent to external and internal
laboratories for additional testing and verification utilizing GLP practices. Before and after all
testing simulations, directly responsible for setting the chamber up and then breaking it down
when sampling is finished and ensuring that the area is sterilized for new tests to be
conducted also to collect the raw data and reduce to a product to be prepared to be given to
the client.

EPA Lab, 2010 – 2011
Assisted in the evaluation of Hg calibration using the gravimetric balance and developing MOPs (method of practice).
Primary responsibilities focused on the collection and identification of samples and providing them to the lab for further
testing and evaluation.
Characterization of Potential Cross-Media Transfers - Coal Ash and Landfills
EPA Field Sites, North Carolina landfills, 2010 – 2012
Identified preferred testing locations and set-up Low Frequency Radio Range (LFRs) at landfills across NC to measure the
release of methane gas utilizing mirrors set at varying distances and heights. Served as lift operator and mirror expert
utilizing the installation of lasers to target all mirrors. Took GPS coordinates to mark all mirrors for later use in the report
and logged the data capturing wind and laser measurements.
Assessment of Water Wash-down
EPA Lab DCMD, RTP, 2009 – 2010
Used a consumer-level pressure washer with pressure ranging between 2000-4000psi to wash down coupons (substrate)
