Dr. Biggs possesses an outstanding track record for the management and performance of large, multidisciplinary environmental projects. His extensive experience in environmental sciences spans a period of 44 years during which he has led numerous projects involving the evaluation of proposed sites and operations for fossil fuel, nuclear, and natural resource facilities. He has assisted in projects at the Federal, state, and local level in over ninety percent of the states in the United States. Dr. Biggs' primary technical activities include research on air quality, meteorology, heat flux near the surface of the earth, and resource development engineering. He has successfully applied his talents to the evaluation of reservoirs, pipelines, off shore platforms, hazardous waste sites, high level nuclear waste facilities, railroads, airports, municipal air quality problems, power plants, refineries, port facilities, mines, and fossil fuel operations. He has directed numerous environmental projects including the drafting of environmental regulations for the proposed Canadian Mines Branch Open Pit Design Manual. In response to the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, he was in charge of coordinating several consulting groups to address the combined impacts on air quality from several major electric power plants in the southwestern United States. Dr. Biggs participated in a study to assess the environmental impacts for potential development of a large (multi-gigawatt) nuclear power complex in Utah.
