Stan Smith, P.G.
MS – Geology

BS – Geosciences

UT PG #10382548-2250

Stan is a Senior Hydrogeologist with 14 years of experience delivering hydrogeology and geochemistry solutions for water resource, mining, geothermal, and government clients. He is valued for translating complex field and analytical data into clear, defensible site conceptual models that support baseline characterization, permitting, and feasibility decisions across the western United States. Stan’s technical strengths include hydrologic investigations and water monitoring programs, as well as acid rock drainage and metal leaching evaluations. He is also highly experienced with using isotopes and other environmental tracers to quantify groundwater residence times, evaluate source mixing, and constrain recharge conditions to bolster site conceptualization and evaluate water resources and contamination risk.
