Andrew Moore, G.T.

Mr. Moore has experience with a variety of methods of soil sampling including direct-push, hand augers, and core samplers.  He also has experience with the use of field meters to measure pH, dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, and conductivity. He has performed both residential water sampling and monitoring well sampling. 

Mr. Moore has provided oversight on monitoring well installations, using both air rotary and auger methods.  He has experience with a wide variety of environmental monitoring equipment including soil moisture sensors, rain gauges, and pressure transducers.  He was responsible for the oversight of a large groundwater-level monitoring network at a complex geologic site in Western North Carolina.   The data collected included pressure, temperature, and field parameters.  Responsibilities included calibration, installation, and data management.

Mr. Moore has worked with Solid Waste Section regulatory reporting of semiannual Appendix I and II constituents for County and privately owned landfills.

Prior to coming to Altamont, Mr. Moore managed a laboratory experiment related to uranium fate and transport, including experimental design, data collection, geochemical and statistical analysis, and interpretation.  He derived solute transport parameters using both numerical and analytical modeling software.  He has also taken formal courses in MODFLOW and HYDRUS modeling programs.
