STEVEN CLIFTON McCUTCHEON
Hydrologist and Environmental Engineer

Dr. Steven C. McCutcheon is an internationally known expert on phytoremediation, water quality, watershed hydrology, hydrodynamics, sediment transport, cleanup of toxic organic chemicals and metals, and environmental planning. He authored the 1989 book, Water Quality Modeling, Vol. I, by CRC press, co-authored in 1999 Hydrodynamics and Transport for Water Quality Modeling by Lewis Publishers, and edited Phytoremediation: Transformation and Control of Contaminants due to be released in October 2003.

He was editor emeritus of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Journal of Environmental Engineering. He has served on the editorial boards of Ecological Engineering, International Journal of Phytoremediation, and the Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Practice Periodical, a journal by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

In 1999, he and others received an EPA Science and Technology Achievement Award Level III (selected by the EPA Science Advisory Board) for developing the first watershed-scale stream model for temperature total maximum daily load calculations.

The American Chemical Society selected him and others to receive the 1997 EPA Science Achievement Award in Chemistry for the investigation and development of zero-valent iron walls to treat chlorinated solvents in ground water.

The 1995 EPA Science Achievement Award in Waste Management by selected the Association for Air and Waste Management and EPA was awarded Dr. McCutcheon (and others) for development of a new field of phytoremediation – degradation of organic compounds.

The 1994 Torrens Award by the American Society of Civil Engineers (outstanding editor among the 21 editors in the Society), the Engineer of the Year in the EPA selected by National Society of Professional Engineers, and the Young Civil Engineer in Government in 1984 by the American Society of Civil Engineers have been given him as well.

Consulting experience includes
(1) designing and conducting water quality assessments in Italy,
(2) arid lake and harbor water quality assessments in western and eastern China,
(3) flooding investigations in New Orleans and North Carolina, and
(4) reviews of basin water quality studies, including review of plans for the Han River in Korea prior to the 1988 Olympics.

As a registered U.S. engineer, Dr. McCutcheon has served as an expert witness on flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. He testified for the Army Corps of Engineers at 401 Water Quality Hearing in Wisconsin on dredging.

Steve McCutcheon was given EPA awards for work in the bioremediation cleanup of the EXXON VALDEZ oil spill in Alaska, and the emergency response modeling of a chemical spill in the Sacramento River.

Dr. McCutcheon has been extensively involved in risk and exposure assessments at a number of hazardous waste sites involving metals and organic chemical contaminated sediments and soils.

As a leader in phytoremediation, Dr. McCutcheon is at the forefront in developing new uses of plants to clean up hazardous waste sites and control contaminant releases to reduce clean up costs at U.S. military facilities.

He supervised student research at Clemson University and the University of Georgia in nonpoint source pollution, forest management to control water quality, hydrodynamics, and estuary water quality modeling.

He developed and wrote guidance for the US Environmental Protection Agency on regulating waste loads into estuaries and streams. For the internationally reviewed Handbook of Hydrology, he is the lead author of the chapter, ´Water Quality.´ He has authored or co-authored 3 books, over 170 articles, papers, chapters, books, and reports, including international consulting reports. He has received over $US 2.5 million in grants and awards for research and consulting.

Since November 2003, Dr. McCutcheon is ESPR co-editor and covers the following scope:
- water quality
- phytoremediation
- contaminant fate and transport
- sediment fate and transport
- hazardous waste management
- biogeochemical cycling, and
- hydrodynamics 
Areas of interest:
water quality 
sediment transport
