The project was part of the city’s overall goal to improve water quality in the watershed by eliminating illegal or undocumented connections between the storm and sanitary sewers. Dawn provided administration of grant funding for the project and worked closely with city staff to complete video inspection, source determination testing, and illicit connection elimination phases of the project. McGill Road Landfill, Michigan: Project manager for the preparation of a RAP for an existing municipal solid waste landfill. Historical groundwater impacts were addressed through definition of contamination extent, land and groundwater use restrictions, and long-term monitoring.

She ensured all relevant exposure pathways were addressed, based on the site hydrogeologic conditions. Solid Waste Landfill, West Virginia: Project manager responsible for the successful management of environmental compliance projects for numerous solid and hazardous waste landfills.
