Date of Project Client and Project Location Supervisor 7/05-11/05 Overland Communities, Rudy Ruberti, CEG Palmdale, Los Angles County, California Summary of Engagement Senior Geologist and Project Engineer for a fault study for a planned 106 acre residential development of the western and eastern portion of the Cemetery Hills Fault splay of the San Andreas Fault system, in Palmdale, California. Project work included daily fault trench logging, coordination, detailed geologic mapping, weekly interfacing with the chief engineering geologist based upon findings, (i.e. flexural slip, shears zones, Carbon dating-radiometric) etc. Thus, to establish the mandatory AP-setback requirements for the planned development. Finally, I finalized the fault map, and report in relation to the areas of proposed structural and nonstructural improvements zones, and the final submittal to the state and local governing jurisdictions

Date of Project Client and Project Location Supervisor 2/02 - 04 Greystone Home Mark Smith Lake Elsinore, Riverside County Jeff R. Schymanietz Summary of Engagement – Project Geologist and Project Engineer for geotechnical and geologic feasibility investigation for a planned 98 acre residential development on the eastern flank of the Cleveland National forest in Lake Elsinore, Southern California. Project work included planning / coordination, field geologic mapping and interpretation in order to identify the major geologic and geotechnical constraints which would affect the planned development. Project included development of geologic map showing active faulting and report recommending future geotechnical subsurface investigation and fault studies. Finally, I supervised the removal and redevelopment of 98 lots, “two tracts” in total, on the previously approved geotechnical 40” scale grading plans. Observations in the field included, stabilization key and fills, removal depths, compaction and moisture conditioning.
