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

Dawn has over 6 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.
