Dr. Tom Sale is an Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering at Colorado State University and an independent consulting hydrogeologist. Research and consulting activities are focused on anthropogenic releases of contaminants to subsurface environments and their subsequent transport, fate, and management. Specific areas of interest are pragmatic expectations for Nonaqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) remedies and passive strategies for management of NAPL releases.

Dr. Sale received his Ph.D. from Colorado State University, M.S. Degree
from the University of Arizona, and B.A. degrees from Miami of Ohio. The focus of his dissertation research was the affect of fractional NAPL removal on downgradient water quality and source longevity. Dr. Sale has been actively involved in the characterization and remediation of subsurface releases of Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) since 1981.



Mitchell Olson is a Research Associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University (CSU) and manages the laboratory in the Center for Contaminant Hydrology (CCH). He received an M.S. degree in Geoenvironmental Engineering from CSU (2005) and a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota Duluth (1999).

As an employee of the CCH, Mitch’s work involves development of innovative methods for soils and groundwater remediation. His primary research focus
is ZVI-Clay, an emerging technology that utilizes soil mixing techniques to deliver granular zero-valent iron and clay into chlorinated solvent source zones. Mitch is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Colorado.
