Thunderbird has two exciting additions to its growing team. We've recently hired

Joe is a graduate of Post University where he earned a degree in Environmental Science, and he is currently pursuing an M.B.A. Joe will provide Thunderbird with extensive health and safety experience thanks to his previous work at the Army Corps of Engineers. In his free time, Joe enjoys hiking, fly fishing, camping and boxing. Favorite Bourbon: Makers Mark

Cool Project: NEPA EIS - U.S. Forest Service
|
|
|
Thunderbird recently assisted Cirrus Ecological Solutions (Logan, UT), with NEPA EIS work for the U.S. Forest Service related to proposed septic system upgrades at Corbet's Cabin, a historic structure located on top of Rendezvous Mountain at the summit of Jackson Hole Mountain Ski Resort in Jackson, Wyoming.
The project included an evaluation of potential alternatives to the problem of treating wastewater discharges from the mountain-top facility in an effort to protect groundwater and surface water quality within the northern abutting Grand Teton National Park.

Thunderbird's Ongoing Commitment to
Health & Safety
|
|
|
In May 2017, Thunderbird completed a three-month review and external audit of its Corporate Health and Safety Program by ISNetWorld in an effort to ensure that we are
meeting internal and governmental record keeping and compliance requirements.
Our current ISNetWorld grade of "A" for existing clients demonstrates our overall commitment to health and safety.

You probably have a good idea of what Thunderbird does from 8 to 5; now you can see what our team members have been up to from 5 to 9.

Thunderbird Takes the West by Storm
|
|
|
In May 2017, Rory Parcell and Darby Hittle visited Montana in order to obtain Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Administrator Training necessary for an ongoing Army Corp of Engineers Project. However, in keeping with our company's "work hard - play hard" philosophy, the hard working staff made a few really fun pit stops during the adventure
.
Darby and Rory took in as much as possible during the week long adventure that included stops at Yellowstone National Park, the Paradise Valley, historic Chico Hot Springs, the Crazy Mountain Range (with a few hours of fly fishing in the Lewis and Clark National Forest and on the Missouri River), and the one stop-light town of Belt, MT.
|
|
|
On the last evening in the Treasure State, Darby and Rory connected with former Thunderbird Engineer, Ryan Hudock, who now calls Bozeman, MT his home. Ryan knows where to find all the good local brews, back country ski runs, and rising trout, and he recently purchased an inflatable raft, completely rigged out with an aluminum fly fishing frame for rowing and casting flies into all of those great Montana Trout Streams.

Thanks for taking the time to read this month's TBird "Flight Plan." We hope you enjoyed hearing about all that's been going on with us lately at Thunderbird.
Sincerely,
Darby and the entire TBird Team
