Obsidian’s Joel Pinnix has served as the Program Manager for geotechnical site characterization studies for over 15 Federal Prison Siting projects. These projects typically involve 300 to 500 acre tracts and have encompassed many types of geological settings including deep mines and reclaimed surface mine sites in West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania; karst sites in Virginia; coastal plain sites in Virginia and South Carolina; alluvial rift valleys in California and desert plateau in Arizona. The results of these studies included:
