Mr. Easthouse is a registered geologist with professional experience performing hydrogeologic investigations throughout Arizona. He has conducted numerous hydrogeologic and site characterization studies required to satisfy Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) requirements for Aquifer Protection Permits (APPs), and the Arizona Department of Water Resources’ (ADWR) Assured and Adequate Water Supply program. He has conducted project oversight in many aspects of water well work including the design, permitting, installation, development, and testing of new production wells and monitoring wells. In this capacity he has participated in many different methods of well drilling including direct air and mud rotary, flooded reverse circulation, auger drilling, dual-tube percussion hammer driven casing, sonic drilling, stratex, and air-rotary casing advance. Mr. Easthouse is experienced in aquifer testing, slug testing, soil logging, geophysical logging, video logging, water quality sampling, and data analysis.
Mr. Easthouse has been increasingly involved with ground-water recharge projects. He has designed and implemented several site characterization studies which include infiltration testing using a single-ring infiltrometer, as well as borehole drilling and percolation testing. The data from these tests were used to assess the viability of large-scale recharge projects such as those found adjacent to wastewater treatment plants.
