Ben joined EPA Region 10 in 1988 as an NPDES permit writer. From 1995 to 2000, Ben worked in the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program on a variety of water pollution problems in the region. In 2001, Ben joined the Region’s Office of Environmental Assessment as a water quality modeler in support of TMDLs, NPDES permits, and other water programs. Ben’s current work includes the development and application of water quality models to evaluate temperature impacts from dams and other disturbances on the Columbia and Snake rivers.

Dr. Yearsley began his career with the federal government in 1968 as an environmental scientist in the Federal Water Pollution Control Agency in Seattle. Since EPA inception, he has provided technical support for the Region’s water programs. In 1991, John was designated as a National Expert in mathematical water quality modeling. John developed a water quality model framework (RBM10) which provides the technical basis for a pending interstate TMDL for the Columbia River System. John received a National Scientific Achievement Award for this work in 2001. He plans to retire from EPA in January 2004.
