Representative Experience

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 effects, sources, and control of urban runoff 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.

Current EPA – funded research includes developing a nationwide database of national stormwater permit information and conducting comprehensive evaluations of this data. He is 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.

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.
