James Beach has over 15 years experience in ground-water and surface water hydrology, water resources, environmental assessments, numerical flow and transport modeling analysis, quantitative contamination evaluations, and litigation support. He specializes in application of numerical models to evaluate water resources as well as contaminant flow and transport in the subsurface. Mr. Beach has extensive experience characterizing, evaluating, and modeling flow and contaminant transport in unsaturated and saturated subsurface environments. He has used quantitative methods to evaluate water resources, deep-well injection, natural and enhanced bioremediation, landfill covers, slurry/sheet pile walls, and injection/recovery systems. He has worked at sites with contamination from free and dissolved phases of light and dense nonaqeous organic liquids, radionuclides, inorganic species and metals.

Mr. Beach has consulted for commercial, industrial and government clients to meet regulatory mandates as well as assisting regulatory agencies in technical issues of evaluating compliance at permitted facilities. He has managed projects across the United States and Europe and has experience in GIS applications and mapping, visualization and animation, database development and management, statistical, geostatistical, and stochastic analysis, technology transfer, and regulatory/public interaction. Mr. Beach has experience in field hydrogeology and application of quantitative hydrologic principles in the water resources and environmental arena. His experience includes evaluation of ground-water availability and quality in many different aquifer systems, evaluation of current and projected water supply and demand, identification of critical ground-water areas, development of water-management strategies and water-supply plans, public interaction, and report preparation.
