Ground Water HydrogeologyMichael
King has conducted over 16 watershed resource studies in the past 5
years. He has conducted studies for Ground Water Master Plan for the
San Francisco Water Department, which involves ground-water source
analysis, exploratory drilling, pump testing, and development of a
wellhead protection program. He also conducted for four coastal
communities in support of applications for ground-water supplies to the
California Coastal Commission, the California Utilities Commission, and
various county Environmental Health Departments. Numerical modeling of
aquifer systems was used as a planning tool for a number of these
studies.
Applied Ground Water ResearchMichael King was
involved in applied research for the evaluation of aquifer pumping test
techniques and innovative watershed analysis. He presented a number of
papers on the application of petroleum technology to aquifer pump test
analysis. He is currently a technical editor for the AEG Bulletin. He
was a member of the technical review team for the Skagit-Hanford
nuclear power plant responsible for evaluating numerical ground water
models of the Tri-Cities area. He currently provides technical
oversight to Inyo and Esmeralda Counties for the Yucca Mountain Nuclear
Waste Repository project. This involves the review of contaminant
transport models of southern Nevada.
Drilling TechnologyMr.
King was a former owner and Vice-President of ASE Drilling Company; he
supervised the drilling, installation, and testing of over 500
domestic, commercial, and public water supply wells. He was an owner
and operator of mud- and air-rotary, reverse circulation, and auger
drill rigs. Michael engaged in the business of developing ground water
supplies for nine years. Michael also managed environmental drilling
and sampling projects at a number of sites under Level B environmental
protection conditions.
Hazardous Waste ManagementMichael
King performed over 30 environmental investigations in the past 7
years. These studies have ranged from level I environmental site
assessments for the Sacramento light-rail transportation corridor to
the remediation of free-phase petroleum hydrocarbon from leaking
underground storage tanks. Michael has been the project manager for
major environmental projects, such as a 17 site investigation along the
I-105 Interstate in Los Angeles. He recently completed a study of
contaminate transport to dewatering facilities at the San Francisco
International Airport; this involved complex numerical ground water
modeling and transport analysis.
Gas Storage EngineeringMr.
King was involved in natural gas and air storage in aquifer storage
structures throughout the United States. He was a gas storage engineer
for Natural Gas Pipeline Company for three years; there he was
responsible for gas storage operations at 3 natural gas aquifer storage
fields in the midwest. Michael designed compressed-air energy storage
systems for the Hume Structure in Illinois and the Lodi abandoned gas
field in California. He conducted research for EPRI and Southern
California Edison for development of compressed-air energy storage.
Michael was on the Electric Power Research Institute's Technical Review
Committee for compressed-air energy storage.
Geotechnical StudiesMichael
King conducted geotechnical engineering studies of various critical
facilities. These studies have included seismic design studies of 1)
Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant; 2) N, K, and L Reactors at the
Savannah River Plant; and 3) Purex Plutonium Treatment Plant at
Hanford, Washington. He has also conducted geotechnical and seismic
studies for nuclear waste storage tunnels at the Nevada Test Site, and
for the Sunol Water Treatment Plant on the Calaveras Fault in
California.
