Heather Fields

As a Supervising Environmental Scientist and GIT at Waterstone Environmental, I have been involved in the environmental industry since joining Waterstone in 2007. My primary responsibilities include due diligence, managing and performing environmental site assessments, design and management of remediation projects, and litigation support. I have conducted work for numerous commercial and industrial properties both in the private sector and under the oversight of local and federal agencies with the goal of working towards site closure. The majority of my assignments have been preparing and implementing sampling workplans and remediation approaches for soil, soil vapor, indoor air, and groundwater. I am experienced in pre-field planning of numerous types of investigation activities; including preparing sampling and remediation workplans, project proposals and budgets, procuring permits, working with laboratories performing analytical testing, and coordinating with drilling and construction subcontractors. My experience involves soil sampling, groundwater monitoring well installation and sampling, soil vapor well installation and sampling, indoor air sampling, and supervision of an assortment of crews in relation to hand augering, grading, hollow stem drill rigs, direct push drill rigs, and Cone Penetrometer (CPT) units. In addition to implementing fieldwork, I am experienced in data management and evaluation, soil logging and preparation of geologic soil borings, preparation of figures and cross-sections, report preparation, interpretation of regulatory framework to work towards site closure, and litigation support.
