Mr. Yarina is an Associate in the Miami office and is responsible for Langan's water resources <br />projects in Florida. Mr. Yarina has worked with FDEP's Underground Injection Control group to permit dozens of deep wells in <br />Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Mr. Yarina has managed hydrogeologic investigations to prepare more than 150 <br />Reasonable Assurance Reports (RARs) pursuant to Chapter 62-528, Florida Administrative Code (FAG) since 2004, The RARs <br />are used to permit the use deep stormwater injection wells. Mr, Yarina's environmental consulting experience includes <br />numerous Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments and groundwater impact studies, development of remedial <br />investigation plans, implementation of remedial plans, well and boring installation, groundwater and soil sampling, and <br />performing aquifer tests and analyzing aquifer pump test data using MODFLOW and other computer modeling software. <br /> <br />PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE <br /> <br />Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club, Coral Gables, FL - The project consisted of a forensic investigation to determine why <br />two lake lowering discharge wells were not operating at capacity. The system consisted of pumping from on-site lakes into the <br />drainage wells. The investigation included reviewing and interpreting geologic logs, evaluating well construction logs, collecting <br />and evaluating hydrologic data for the on-site ponds and Biscayne Bay. Through its research Langan determined that wells <br />were improperly constructed, not permitted and the well capacity was too low for the volume of water being pumped from the <br />lake. Langan conducted a hydrogeologic investigation to determine suitable zones for injection of untreated lake water and a <br />surface water investigation to determine water quality of the discharged lake water. The investigation revealed suitable <br />injection/production zones below 75 ft and Langan redesigned the drainage well to be more appropriate for the expected <br />volumes. As part of the permitting of this well, Langan conducted a hydrogeological investigation for the RAR to determine the <br />lateral continuity of a semi-confining layer above the untreated production zones. Mr. Yarina managed all aspects of this <br />project, and provided technical review and professional certifications for finished work products. His work on this project has <br />allowed the client to realize a significant cost savings in water treatment and avoid potential long-term fines for violation of <br />Florida Statutes. <br /> <br />200 Las Olas Circle, Fort Lauderdale, FL - Langan conducted a hydrogeologic investigation to collect data to provide a <br />Reasonable Assurance Report to satisfy the requirements of Chapter 62-528, FAC for permitting of Class V, Group 6 <br />underground injection control wells for deep injection of stormwater runoff. Langan supervised the logging of a 150-ft-deep test <br />hole using geophysical techniques (induction conductivity, neutron, and gamma-gamma) and Standard Penetration Test data <br />and the collection of water quality using a "real-time" rotary method. An evaluation of the geophysical, geotechnical and water <br />quality data indicated that 105 ft below land surface (bls) was suitable for injection and meet Chapter 62-528, FAC <br /> <br />Page 3128 <br />
