Russell Prior, Senior Hydrogeologist
B.S. Geology, 1979, University of Washington
Licensed Well Driller, Washington State
Download vCard
With over 24 years of experience in water resource and environmental investigations, Russ has conducted and managed many wellhead protection, groundwater development, and remediation projects. Many of these projects have involved characterizing the regional and local hydrogeology, designing groundwater monitoring and remediation systems, and negotiating with state and federal agencies. One area of his expertise is the design and testing of large-capacity municipal supply wells; another is his extensive knowledge of the geology of Washington, where he has mapped many different environments.
Inger Jackson, Hydrogeologist
B.S. Engineering (Geological Environmental Discipline), 1994, Queen’s
University
Download vCard
Inger’s 10+ years of experience in geology, hydrogeology, and geochemistry have focused on designing and implementing field investigations, as well as managing and analyzing data. She has applied her talents to environmental and resource protection projects that have required sampling, well logging, aquifer testing, and designing, installing, and maintaining complex data logging systems to measure water levels and streamflows. She has also helped develop a water-level database that she currently manages. Other capabilities include evaluating chemical data for compliance with MTCA and with the QA/QC requirements of SW-846.
Dawn Chapel, Hydrogeologist, LG, LHg

Dawn has over 9 years experience in hydrogeologic and water resources investigations. Ms. Chapel has extensive experience developing groundwater and contaminant transport computer models. She has successfully applied her modeling expertise to evaluate and quantify a number of groundwater problems: groundwater flux and flow paths; contaminant migration paths; delineation of recharge areas for wellhead protection programs; investigation of groundwater and surface water interactions; evaluation of aquifer storage and recovery; and groundwater impacts from proposed infiltration facilities. Ms Chapel also has considerable experience working on environmental sites, including assessment of sites contaminated with chlorinated solvents, state regulated landfills, and numerous sites regulated under MTCA. She has developed numerous remedial investigation plans and sampling and analysis plans for a variety of sites in accordance with regulatory requirements. Her field experience includes well installation and logging, soil and water sampling, aquifer pump tests, borehole geophysical logging, stream gaging, and geologic mapping. Ms. Chapel also works with spatial data in a Geographic Information System (GIS) and applying GIS to her investigations.

Mr. Kelly is one of the Washington State’s leading experts on seawater intrusion. During his 10 years as the Island County hydrogeologist, he developed and implemented a comprehensive saltwater intrusion management program that included regulations, monitoring, and a GIS-enabled database program. This program remains the benchmark that has been emulated by other coastal counties state-wide.
Doug’s expertise extends beyond saltwater intrusion issues into hydrogeologic investigations, water-resource management and environmental hydrogeology. Over 20 years of practicing hydrogeology, Doug has managed a wide variety of hydrogeologic projects.
Doug also has significant experience in many aspects of environmental hydrogeology, including management, analysis, and data collection. He has been involved all aspects of environmental investigations at US Navy, Coast Guard, and Washington Department of Ecology sites, including monitoring well installation, groundwater monitoring, and groundwater modeling.
