Pollution
Control Strategy Development
Seasonal Scientist/Planner
Watershed Assessment Section
Delaware Division of Water Resources
We are
currently seeking a seasonal scientist/planner for the Watershed
Assessment Section. The successful candidate will
assist in the development of Pollution Control Strategies in Delaware’s
watersheds by providing support for Tributary Action Teams. A
Pollution Control Strategy is a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
implementation plan. A TMDL sets the maximum amount of a
pollutant that a waterbody can assimilate while still achieve water
quality standards. These standards are based on the uses
of the water body (swimming, aquatic life, etc.).
Tasks include, but are not limited to:
- writing articles for the Tributary Times newsletter
- authoring
fact sheets on technical issues for a public readership
- conducting research
- attending meetings (some evening meetings are required)
- assisting in meeting and conference planning
- other projects as needed (past projects have included wastewater
performance standards, nutrient budgets, outreach
events, group facilitation, etc.).
Applicants
should have familiarity and experience using GIS, Excel, Access,
Word, and PowerPoint. Excellent writing and research
skills, time management and ability to multi-task, and an interest
in working with collaborative processes and citizen groups are
required. Knowledge of nonpoint source pollution and the
practices used to reduce it are preferred.
37.5
hours per week (full time), hourly position. Benefits
are not available.
