Dr.
Pitt has been the project manager and principal investigator for many urban
water resources research projects. He has worked on lake management projects,
environmental research projects, hazardous material management plans, facility
location studies, and environmental assessments. His major area of interest is
in stormwater management, especially the integration of drainage and water
quality objectives.
Dr.
Pitt has conducted research for the U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, Ontario
Ministry of the Environment, states, and local governments concerning the
beneficial uses, effects, sources, and control of wet weather flows for more
than 35 years. He was also been involved in a number of projects that have used
this research information to develop management plans, stormwater ordinances,
and design manuals. As an example, he was a member of the technical advisory
group for the EPA’s Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP). He also prepared
the Source Loading and Management Model (SLAMM) and developed the watershed
analysis procedures to investigate urban runoff for the priority watershed
program of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. These procedures are
still being used as the basis for state cost-sharing for major runoff control
retro-fitting programs. He has also prepared manuals of practice which contain
design procedures and construction specifications for stormwater and erosion
control practices and has supervised their construction.
Dr.
Pitt has also conducted research for the EPA to develop and test procedures to
recognize and reduce inappropriate discharges of wastewaters to separate storm
drainages. These procedures are being used by municipalities involved in the
Clean Water Act’s stormwater permit program as a field screening technique to
identify and quantify discharge sources. He has also directed a series of EPA
research projects to investigate the sources and control of stormwater
toxicants. As an example, he has found that combinations of sedimentation,
aeration, and photo-degradation can significantly reduce stormwater toxicity.
Automobile service facilities have been identified as a significant toxic
pollutant source and a specialized treatment system to be located at these sources
has been designed and tested at several locations. He developed the
Multi-Chambered Treatment Train (MCTT) for high level controls of stormwater
toxicants at critical source areas, and also helped develop an upflow filter
for high rate treatment in urban areas.
His
research also examined stormwater effects on groundwater, and a book on this
research was published by Ann Arbor Press. He has also evaluated the effects of
separate sewage overflows on human health, especially considering toxic metal and
organic pollutants and pathogens. Another EPA project directed by Dr. Pitt
examined past drainage design procedures and recommends future approaches for
drainage design. He has co-authored several books and numerous chapters based
on this and related material, especially integrating stormwater modeling tools
for water quality and drainage design objectives.
Recent EPA – funded research includes developing a nationwide database of national stormwater permit information and conducting comprehensive evaluations of this data. He has also updating field screening procedures used for identifying inappropriate discharges to storm drainage systems. Recent research included investigating innovative heavy metal removal techniques for stormwater. He is currently investigating the sources and significance of stormwater bacteria and the transport and effects of stormwater gross solids. Other current projects are examining the presence and treatability of emerging contaminants in wet weather flows, the scour of sediment from stormwater control devices, and the development of rapid analysis methods for the detection of organic contaminants in sediments and water using laser spectrographic techniques. Other current research he and his graduate students are conducting is examining the integration of green infrastructure controls in combined sewer areas; stormwater treatment using media filtration; relationships between the variability of stormwater characteristics and development characteristics; PAH contamination from newly paved surfaces; heavy metal releases from alternative drainage system components; optimized drainage options for biofiltration systems; groundwater impacts from seepage wells used for the disposal of stormwater; heavy metal contamination of soils in treated wood burn areas; sources and fate of indicator bacteria in urban areas; and continued work on enhancements to the Source Loading and Management Model (WinSLAMM).
He
has also carried out a number of receiving water impact studies associated with
stormwater. These studies have included a variety of field monitoring
activities, including water and sediment quality, fish and benthos taxonomic
composition, and laboratory toxicity tests. He is the co-author of a book
(published by CRC/Lewis) detailing field, laboratory, and data analyses methods
for use in examining stormwater effects on receiving waters.
Dr.
Pitt was the project manager and principal investigator of a project with the
telecommunications industry (sponsored by Bellcore, AT&T, plus many “baby
Bells” from throughout the U.S.) to evaluate and develop methods that may be
needed to treat stormwater that collects in telecommunication manholes. This
water needs to be pumped before repair operations can be conducted and
stormwater NPDES permits are typically required before its discharge to local
drainage systems. He has worked with the industry and the EPA and conducted a
comprehensive characterization and field evaluation program and developed
protocols to examine potential treatment methods.
Dr.
Pitt has helped prepare training manuals on the operation of sanitary
wastewater treatment plants and on the clean-up of oil spills. He has evaluated
the effects of municipal, industrial, and nonpoint water pollution discharges
on receiving water quality and beneficial uses, including model development. He
has also been involved in the preparation of contingency plans for spills of
petroleum products and other hazardous materials, especially in the assessment
of potential water and air quality problems. He has completed the noise, air
and water quality assessments for a variety of projects; including nuclear and
fossil fuel power facilities, oil refineries, oil fields, coal mines, uranium
mines, gravel removal operations, airports, urban redevelopment projects,
pipelines, and hazardous material transfer and storage facilities. Many of
these studies involved field and laboratory work, as well as statistical
analyses and modeling. These projects have been located throughout the United
States (including Alaska and Hawaii), and in the Middle East. An experienced
photographer, Dr. Pitt has used both aerial and underwater photography in
conjunction with many projects. He has developed and managed water and air
quality laboratories capable of monitoring a wide range of inorganic and
organic pollutants.
Dr.
Pitt moved to the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa in 2001. Earlier,
he had served on the School of Engineering faculty at the University of Alabama
at Birmingham from 1987 to 2001. Prior to that, he was a senior engineer for 16
years in industry and government, and continues to consult to many
municipalities and engineering firms. He has also taught workshops and has been
a guest lecturer at several universities (including the Univ. of Wisconsin; the
Univ. of Minnesota; Syracuse University, the University of Nevada, Tel Aviv
University, Israel; the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada; Singapore
National University; and the Universität Gesamthochschule, Essen, Germany). He
has published more than 100 chapters, books, journal articles, and major
research reports. Dr. Pitt is a Diplomate of the American Academy of
Environmental Engineers and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Water
Resources Engineers (eminence), and is a registered engineer in the state of
Wisconsin.
