Kevin McGillicuddy, P.G.<\/strong>, the Groundwater Foundations\u2019 2022 McEllhiney Lecturer, is the chief hydrogeologist for the Roscoe Moss Co. Specializing in groundwater development, he has designed several hundred high-capacity water supply wells, conducted numerous well siting studies, and managed large- and small-scale well rehabilitation projects. In his capacity as chief hydrogeologist, he assists consultants, municipalities, water districts, and contracting firms in the planning and designing of water supply wells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining Roscoe Moss, McGillicuddy directed recharge operations and was a senior hydrogeologist for the Orange County Water District (OCWD) in Fountain Valley, California. While at OCWD, he engaged in groundwater replenishment projects using both surface water recharge and direct injection of highly treated reclaimed water through a system of injection wells. McGillicuddy has presented at numerous AHS, National Groundwater Association, and other groundwater industry events over the years, promoting groundwater science, proper practice, and responsible use to a variety of audiences. He holds a B.S. in geology from Boston College and an M.S. in geology from the University of Southern California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
