Scott Borchardt is a part of our Geotechnical Staff Team, with over 5-years of field sampling experience at a variety of sites, including leaking underground storage tank (LUST) sites, industrial properties with chlorinated solvent releases to soil, groundwater, and volatile organic vapors, pesticide/herbicide cleanup sites, chromium plating facilities, and Superfund site sampling project work. Scott has also managed subcontractors for field investigations for Phase I and II environmental site assessments, coordinated and conducted environmental field investigations, and provided contractor oversight at a major soil removal project in Madison, Wisconsin. Scott has also assisted other Shannon and Wilson offices with soil logging and sampling for geotechnical investigations. 

Prior to joining Shannon and Wilson, Scott worked as a Geologist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for over three years. At NRCS, Scott participated in numerous geotechnical soils investigations, logging soils, and collecting samples, in support of conservation engineering projects. He also conducted geophysical investigations to evaluate subsurface characteristics and determine depth to bedrock at project sites. Before NRCS, Scott worked as a Hydrologic Technician at the United States Geological Survey (USGS), where he assisted in monitoring stream and groundwater sites by conducting stream stage, discharge, and groundwater level measurements as well as working with large hydrologic data sets.
