I've been working with the City of Spirit Lake on development of a ground water monitoring plan for the City's wastewater reuse site, located above the Rathdrum Prairie - Spokane Valley Aquifer, which is an EPA-designated sole-source aquifer and Idaho's only Sensitive Resource Aquifer. As such, wastewater reuse activities above the aquifer receive a lot of scrutiny.

Growing pains: Critics say Spirit Lake moratorium on sewer hookups slows growth The economic forces of construction and development that drive many North Idaho communities has come to a halt in Spirit Lake because of a basic public service: the sewers.

Monks Hydro-Geoscience is working on characterizing the hydrogeology of this beautiful riverfront park in Post Falls. The community forest area borders both the Spokane River and the Spokane Valley - Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.

Post Falls Community Forest – Post Falls Idaho

Working on post bio-remediation injection ground water monitoring at a former wood treatment site. Nutrients and oxygen were injected into the shallow aquifer to assist naturally occurring bacteria that use the hydrocarbons as an energy source. The injections occurred in April. I sampled the site in March to get baseline data and am now following up with monitoring to measure the effects of the injections.
