SOIL MANAGEMENT
Advanced planning to identify and address soil contamina- tion issues is a critical success factor for development projects in Hawaii (and elsewhere) that require significant earth work. Proper sequencing can avoid downtime, unnecessary costs, and mishandling of soils by those not familiar with the conse- quences of their actions.

Frederic B. (Ted) Mullin, CPG-01716 St. Helens, Oregon
January 24, 1935 - August 18, 2022 Member Since 1968
Ted was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia, the first of four sons of Frances L. (nee Bartley) and George B.P. Mullin. He thrived on challenges and variety, and filled his life with adventures in multiple places and with a wide range of activities, always living it to the fullest.
Ted’s education at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, gener- ally known as Virginia Tech, was interrupted by four years of service in the U.S, Army Corps of Engineers, where he supervised the reconstruction of military runways in South Korea. He completed his education in 1957 and graduated with a degree in Geological Engineering.
For thirty-seven years Ted worked as a geologist for the U.S. government, primarily with the Forest Service although he also spent some time with the Bureau of Land Management. In addition, he also spent several weeks in Washington D.C. where he assisted in the development and preparation of the regulations to implement the 1970 Minerals and Mining Law. He retired from the Forest Service as a Regional Geologist in January of 1997.
Ted was active in several professional organizations. These included the Geological Society of America (GSA): The Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME); and the American Institute of Professional Geologists, which recog- nized him as Certified Professional Geologist (CPG) 1716 on January 31, 1968. Ted served on AIPG’s National Executive Committee in 1990 and 1991 as an advisory board member. He received the AIPG Presidential Certificate of Merit in 1989 and again in 1994.
After retiring, Ted provided expert witness testimony for several court cases regarding geological matters and the Mining Law. These cases also established him as a national expert regarding placer mining.

Never one to just sit around, Ted spent many of his retire- ment days in his beloved Colorado mountains indulging both his warm weather passion of fly fishing and his winter passion of snow skiing.
Ted and his first wife Elsie had two sons, Arthur and Michael. After they divorced, Ted married his second wife, Carol. They lived in Colorado until Carol retired, at which time they moved to St. Helens, Oregon.
In 2016, Ted began developing multiple health problems. Still, with the help of his niece Fran Mullin, he produced a col- lection of his professional reminiscences which will be included in a national memoir project at the U.S. Library of Congress.
