## PRESENTER BIOGRAPHIES

David C. Goss

David C. Goss served as the Ex ecutive Director of the American Coal Ash Association from August 2002 until his retirement in February 2009. Previously he worked for Xcel Energy where he coordinated the ash management activities fo r nine coal-fueled power plants located in Colorado and TDOE’s Combustion Byproducts R ecycled Consortium (CBRC). He has been

active in the EPA’s Coal Com bustion Products Partnership (C 2 P

P 2 ) since its inception in 2003 and was the CCP industry representative to the I ndustrial Resources Council (IRC). Goss received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from the Univ ersity of Denver and a Masters of Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma.

Dr. Warren Dick

Dr. Warren Dick is currently a professor at th e School of Environmental and Natural Resources of Ohio State University. Warren grew up on a fa rm in North Dakota. He was a chemistry major as an undergraduate at Wheaton College in Illinoi s and attended graduate school at Iowa State University where he received his PhD in 1980 in soil biochemistry. Since 1980 he has worked at The Ohio State University in Wooster, OH. Du ring a sabbatical year in 1991-1992, he worked at AgCanada in Ottawa, Ontario.

Warren has been active in his professi on and has served as Editor of the Journal of Environmental Quality (1995-2001) and Editor-in-Chief of th e Soil Science Society of America (2000-2006) and the American Society of Agrono my (2009- present). He became a Fellow of both the American Society of Agronomy and th e Soil Science Society of America in 1997. His research has focused on cycling of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur in soils. Warren has been active

since about 1990 on research relate d to beneficial land applica tion uses of coal combustion products. This has included using clean coal co mbustion products for mineland reclamation and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum for agricu ltural use. Warren teaches a course on Soil and Environmental Biochemistry a nd has advised more than 25 graduate students and a dozen visiting international scientists. He is on the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center’s speakers list and ha s given talks to numerous loca l, national and international

audiences.

Dr. L. Darrell Norton

Dr. L. Darrell Norton is a Research Soil Scie ntist for the USDA-ARS National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory located on the campus of Pu rdue University, West Lafayette, IN where he also is a Professor in the Departments of Agronomy and Agricu ltural and Biological Engineering. He has been with the Labor atory since 1982 conducting research on various aspects of soil erosion related to physio-chemical interactions be tween soil and rainwater. The last 19 years he has been leading research in the Laboratory to eval uate various industrial byproduct materials for use in controlling erosi on and managing water in agricultural production systems. Much of his research has focuse d on relatively clean high Ca and S containing materials from air purification systems from coal -fired power plants. Dr. Norton’s research team212 W.

conducted an award winning project that created an environmenta l friendly synthetic soil from composts of fly-ash, bottom-ash and bio-so lids from a pharmaceutical plant for use in reclamation and re-vegetation of strip mined lands. Dr. No rton and co-authors including many of his PhD students have published more than 2 50 articles and technical reports and has been widely invited to present results of his research at Scientific Congresse s all over the World. He has conducted projects and cooperative resear ch with many Agencies in the USA and many

International Research Institutions such as CSIRO, Australia, EMBRAPA, Brazil, UN-FAO, India, CAS, China, US-AID, Africa, BARD, Israel, and many University and Institutes in the USA and Europe. He holds a BSc. '75 and MSc. '76 from Purdue University and a PhD '81 from The Ohio State University.

Dr. Rufus L. Chaney

Dr. Rufus L. Chaney is a Senior Research Ag ronomist in the Environmental Management and By-Product Utilization Laboratory of the USDA-Agricultural Rese arch Service at Beltsville, MD, where he conducts research on the fate, f ood-chain transfer, and potential effects of soil microelements. He obtained his B.S. from Heidelberg College, Tiffin, OH in 1964 (Chemistry) and his Ph.D. from Purdue University, W. La fayette, IN (Biochemistry). He has conducted

research with USDA-ARS since 1969 in varied la boratories and positions. His research includes studies on 1) plant uptake of meta ls and translocation to edible plant tissues; considers plant-soil interactions in microelement phytoavailability ; 2) speciation of me tals in plants and bioavailability to animals; 3) development of hyperaccumulator crops to phytoextract and recycle metals in contaminated soils; 4) bioa vailability of lead and other metals in soils, biosolids, and composts directly ingested by animals; 5) de velopment of "Tailor-Made Composts and Biosolids" to remediate Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni and other element contaminated soils including urban gardens; and 6) potential methods to reduce food-chain transfer or toxicity of metals in these organic resources and potential regulatory approaches to protec t food safety and soil fertility. These areas of study make him especially qualifi ed to conduct risk assessment for trace elements in agricultural environments. Since beginning his career in 1969, Dr. Chaney has 418 published papers and 255 published abstracts on thes e topics. He has cooperated with the USEnvironmental Protection Agency, the US-F ood and Drug Administration, the Office of Management and Budget, and many States in prepar ing advice and regulations for utilization of

biosolids and risk evaluation and remedi ation of metal contaminated soils.

Dr. Malcolm Sumner

Malcolm Sumner (Professor Emeritus) was a professor at the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg and at the Un iversity of Georgia. He has edited 5 books including the

“Handbook of Soil Science”. He is also the auth or/co-author of 2 books, 249 refereed papers, 41 book chapters and 300 other publications. Some career accomplishments include: Fellow, Soil Science Society of America and American So ciety of Agronomy; Soil Science Society of America Research Award; American Society of Agronomy Werner L. Nelson Award; CSIRO,

Australia Sir Frederick McMast ers Visiting Fellowship; Amer ican Society of Agronomy Research Award; Honorary Doctor of Science, University of Natal; So il Science Society of America International Award; Soil Science Society of America Distinguis hed Service Award. He has consulted with various agricultural enterpri ses, companies, mining houses, state and local212 W. Superior, Suite 402 Chicago, IL 60654
