Henry M. Wise, P.G., C.P.G.Henry Wise is a graduate of Boston University with a Bachelor’s degree in geology and a Master’s degree in geology from the University of Texas at El Paso. He has more than 45 years of professional experience in geological and environmental remediation. This includes substantial in exploration and production of uranium in Texas and in ground-water assessment and remediation projects in Texas and the eastern United States.
Mr. Wise worked for US Steel exploring for South Texas roll-front uranium deposits and production of South Texas roll-front uranium deposits. He was responsible for developing the Pawlik mine for US Steel and periodically worked on all six US Steel South Texas uranium mines.
Cambridge Royalty Company hired Mr. Wise to explore for uranium in Texas based on a show of uranium in an oil well they owned. Mr. Wise was able to identify a deposit of at least 3,000,000 lbs. of uranium (in place) and perhaps many more in the area before Cambridge Royalty ceased uranium exploration and development due to a depression in the uranium market. Cambridge Royalty was eventually purchased by Global Natural Resources, who put zero value on the uranium interests. He was able to tuck away much of the mapping and numerical data but no geophysical logs, knowning one day those data will be useful.
After Cambridge Royalty, Mr. Wise worked for a number of environmental companies, including Parsons Engineering Science and Republic Services. Mr. Wise was responsible for site asessments and remediation at these companies and has extensive experience with interfacing with State and Federal environmental agencies, including the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Mr. Wise has worked on RCRA, Superfund, and underground storage tank sites for many clients.
In addition, while with Republic Services, Mr. Wise was involved with many environmental emergency responses for the TCEQ, several of which had national media exposure. These responses included air monitoring and surface water, groundwater and soil assessments and remediation.
Mr. Wise is a Licensed Professional Geologist in Texas and is a Certified Professional Geologist by the AIPG. As a long-time member of the Houston Geological Society (HGS), he currently is Chairman of the Government Affairs Committee and publishes the semi-weekly blog “The Wise Report” on the HGS website. He was a founding member of the Energy Minerals Division of AAPG in 1977 and for many years served as Vice-Chair (Industry) of the Uranium (Nuclear and Rare Earth Minerals) Committee of the AAPG-Energy Minerals Division. On May 12, 2011, Governor Perry commissioned Henry Wise as an Admiral in the Texas Navy for his outstanding efforts over the years on behalf of the geological community in Texas. Governor Perry’s Proclamation (here).
Mr. Wise serves as the Vice President of Operations for I2M Corporation or Houston, Texas. He made a presentation (with Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H.) to a packed house one of the HGS Dinner Meetings of the Engineering and Environmental Group. The presentation was entitled:
“Hydrogeologic Risks in the Groundwater Supply of Harris County, Texas: Radioactive Constituents, Natural Gas, & Growth Faults”. Abstract and Biographies of the speakers (link).
Mr. Wise also served as co-author of Chapter 9 in the AAPG-EMD Memoir 101, entitled: Energy Resources for Human Settlement in the Solar System and Earth’s Future in Space. For the Table of Contents and Book Preface, see (here). Members of the Energy Mineral Division’s Uranium (Nuclear and Rare Earth Minerals) Committee (UCOM) and of I2M Associates, LLC contributed the final Chapter 9, entitled:
