Abstract
This report describes my ten-month internship at the Fernald Closure Project (Ross, OH) in the Soils Characterization Department. I was responsible for writing technical documents to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Ohio EPA, which explained and justified the remedial actions taken in specific areas of the site. As part of this certification process, I examined soil data and planned soil sampling to determine the extent and type of contamination for specific areas. I coordinated with and tracked the surveyors, samplers, and the analytical lab to assure that samples were taken in a timely manner and according to the guidelines of the area specific document. This internship provided me applicable experience in soil remediation and utilized my education, background, and skills. It also further developed my critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills, which will allow me to compete effectively for professional positions in the environmental science field.
