Chemistry, Northwestern University, 1970 B.S. Chemistry, Lake Forest College, 1968 Qualifications: Mr. Steinhauer has over 20 years experience in environmental chemistry and coastal marine monitoring, including 17 years with Battelle. During this period, he has conducted and supervised research projects involving the transport, fate, effects, and bioaccumulation of contaminants and is a recognized expert in the fate and effects of organic contaminants in the environment. Mr. Steinhauer's laboratory and management experience includes methods development and analysis of trace levels of petroleum- and combustion-related hydrocarbon contaminants in the environment. He is the author of many environmental reports and scientific papers, including those relating to oil spill assessment, assessment of the fates and effects of sludge dumped at the 106-Mile Deepwater Municipal Dumpsite, methods papers, contaminant residence time studies for NOAA, and marine-related environmental impact statements. For the past 3 years, he has been the manager of marine sector programs in Alghero, Italy. Relevant Experience: Coastal Monitoring Program Manager for the California Outer Continental Shelf Phase II Monitoring Program (Assessment of Long-Term changes in Biological Communities in the Santa Maria Basin, sponsor MMS) responsible for the technical execution of the program at Battelle and with Battelle subcontractors and consultants, preparation of reports, and coordination with Federal and State agencies. Through his role as Manager of Marine Sector Programs, Mr. Steinhauer was directly involved in the planning and execution of the monitoring and assessment of the municipal outfall in the Baia di Porto Conte, Alghero Italy. Aspects of the monitoring included discharge bacterial, nutrient and BOD measurements, near-discharge transport and fate monitoring using Battelle Ocean Sampling system and other tools, and diver-assisted near-discharge assessments of the impact of the discharge on the Posidonia oceanica seagrass community. Principal Investigator (1989 to 1994) and task leader (1985 to 1988) of the organic chemistry component in the NOAA Mussel Watch Project responsible for analytical measurements, quality assurance, data review, and report preparation. Goal of the project is to detect status and trends of trace contaminants in sentinel organisms. Organic contaminants include PAH, PCS (individual congener), and selected halogenated pesticides.

Putting Technology To Hbi* Centredale Manor Tasks 19-22 QAPP Revision Number: Final Revision Date: 5/23/01 Page 310 of 509 Task Leader for EPA/Office of Water work assignment involving analysis of sediment-trap samples for chemical and microbiological sludge tracers, stable isotopes (13C, 15N, and 34S), and physical characteristics. Eight trace elements (Cd, Zn, Ag, Ni, Mn, Cu, Pb, and Cr) plus Fe and Al are being measured. Organic contaminant analyses include PAH, LAB, hopanes, fecal and total sterols, and lignin phenols. Data will be used to determine farfield fate of sludge dumped at the 106-Mile Deepwater Municipal Sludge Site (106-Mile Site). Work Assignment Leader for two EPA Office of Water work assignments involving water quality monitoring studies at the 106-Mile Deepwater Municipal Sludge Site (106-Mile Site) during summer and winter conditions. The projects involved developing and implementing strategies for sludge-plume tracking and monitoring water quality and oceanic conditions at the site. Pollution Control and Mitigation Project Manager for Revision of the Ocean Discharge Criteria. Mr. Steinhauer serves as work assignment leader supporting EPA's revision to implementing regulations for CWA §403(c). He researched and analyzed national data to identify all permitted discharges to marine waters and characterize their impact on the environment. Mr. Steinhauer identified quantities, composition, and bioaccumulation of pollutants, potential transport and fate, and vulnerability of exposed ecosystems. He prepared assessments of impacts of discharged pollutants or pollutant categories on sensitive marine communities and conducted environmental assessments of special ocean sites (marine protected areas) that will be established under the rule. Through his role as Manager of Marine Sector Programs, Mr. Steinhauer was directly involved in several engineered wetlands and wastewater depuration projects in the Region of Sardinia. Activities included (1) design and construction of a pilot scale (2 M3/day) horizontal flow wetland for depuration of sewage effluent, (2) assembly and ramp-up of a pilot-scale Living Machine™ for sewage treatment (18 M3/day), and design of several projects for storm water and ephemeral stream clean-up. All of these projects used the most recent alternative treatment thinking from Europe or U.S. in design modified for the Mediterranean climate of Sardinia. Mr. Steinhauer was Project Manager of the contaminated sediment project conducted for the Ministero del Bilancio of which the bench-scale Venice lagoon bioremediation experiment was one task. Sediments from the three areas within the Venice lagoon were subjected to pulsed aerobic/anaerobic to force the degradation of PCBs using the resident sediment bacterial population. In addition to PCB, sediments gases, nutrients, and bacterial populations were measured. Contaminated Sediment Assessment Project Manager, Remediation of Contaminated Sediments. Responsible for the technical direction and performance of a 2-year project related to the investigation of physical and mechanical treatment processes for resource recovery of sand and other materials from contaminated harbor sediments in Sardinia. A full range of physical separation and washing procedures are being investigated, supported by trace metal and organic contaminant toxicology, and supporting analyses. Project Manager of USACE-sponsored analytical project in support of the dredging of Oakland Harbor, California. Analysis of sediment and tissue for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides/PCBs. Interpretation of data.

Expert witness for the Federal government in New Bedford Harbor Superfund pre-trial hearings (1989, 1990). Provided depositions entered into evidence for the trial and testimony at pre-trial courtroom hearings. Environmental, Ecological, and Health Risk Assessments Mr. Steinhauer has been directly involved in the assessment of the impact of point and non-point discharges in Baia di Porto Conte and Rada di Alghero, Alghero Italy for the Ministero del Bilancio, Rome Italy, and co-authored the final report titled State of the Bay. This report contained a "consensus risk assessment" of the environmental impact of point and non-point sources on coastal waters. The Battelle SYSTEM EIGHT heuristics software was used extensively to aid and promote the decision- making and demonstrate the outcomes of various impact assessments and risk analyses. Petroleum Hydrocarbon Analysis Principal Investigator of the hydrocarbon analytical task for an environmental assessment of Floreffe oil spill, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (industrial client). Development of monitoring strategy and analysis of samples to determine the persistence of Floreffe oil in the above river system. Use of petroleum hydrocarbon "fingerprinting" to determine amounts of specific petroleum contamination vis-a-vis chronic inputs of other hydrocarbon pollutants. Co-author and signatory of EV89 (Rev 0) protocols for preparation and analysis of water, sediment, biological tissue samples for trace levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in support of Exxon-sponsored NRDA studies related to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The protocols which were used with minor revisions throughout 1989-1991 and were also supported by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) for ADEC-sponsored environmental studies. Participant in Exxon Analytical Workgroup formed to advise Exxon regarding sampling and chemical procedures used to support NRDA Type-B environmental assessments associated with the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Task Manager for the sediment and tissue hydrocarbon analytical task for all 3 years of the Beaufort Sea Monitoring Program (Mineral Management Service). Mr. Steinhauer's involvement included validation of methods, quality assurance, and review of all data packages before submission to data processing. He also prepared the BSMP field manual and participated in field surveys, years 1 and 2.
