Scientist

Paige Coleman is an environmental chemist with 2 years of experience in environmental consulting, with a focus on geochemical analysis, site assessments, and remedial investigations at various coal ash, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), petroleum, and pesticide manufacturing sites. She has experience in geochemical modeling, analytical chemistry, data and statistical analysis, and research and development.

PFAS

Federal Air Force Base, North Carolina Prepared the project management plans for a Phase I remedial investigation of PFAS in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF)-affected areas at a Federal Air Force Base. Led the development of the Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans (UFP-QAPP) and prepared the work plan for groundwater, surface water, soil, sediment, and porewater sampling using suction cup lysimeters, in coordination with project teams. Presented the project plans and project status updates to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Air Force, and contractor project teams during the scoping and monthly progress meetings.

Site Assessment

Coal-Fired Power Stations, North Carolina Assisted with the site assessment and characterization of multiple coal combustion residual sites, including technical report preparation, data evaluation, statistical analysis, and environmental sample collection.
Former Fertilizer Manufacturing Facility, Tampa, Florida Evaluated the fate and transport of legacy pesticides, organic and inorganic constituents, and petroleum products in groundwater and soil at an industrial site with diverse, historical occupants. Prepared proposals, obtained offsite assess agreements and permits, collected soil samples, analyzed data, and created figures for multiple technical memorandums and reports.
Former Manufactured Gas Plant, South Carolina Collected groundwater samples, conducted an aquifer pumping test, analyzed volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, and other hydrocarbon analytical data, and assisted with the preparation of semiannual monitoring and remedial investigation reports.

Geochemistry

Gold Mine, South Carolina Performed geochemical analysis of inorganic constituents to assess the source of metals in daylighting groundwater seeps.
Steam Power Stations, North Carolina Prepared proposed and designed geochemical modeling approaches to demonstrate the viability of monitored natural attenuation as a remediation strategy for correction action plan reports.

R&D

Foam Filter Manufacturing Facility, North Carolina Reformulated the composition of a ceramic foam filter slurry to eliminate a hazardous step in the production process. Conducted mechanical performance testing on trial slurry foam filter products. Redesigned the synthetic procedure for carbon foam filters to reduce the reaction temperature and improve the structural integrity of the final product.
