I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AYRES Bill Spitz, P.G. As project geomorphologist, Mr. Spitz, who is a Wyoming registered professional geologist with 18 years of project experience, will conduct a geomorphic and stream stability assessment in support of Task 3 Watershed Hydrology and Task 4 Floodplain Hydraulic Modeling and will provide additional support on paleohydrology as part of Task 3. Availability 15 percent. TASK 2: CLIMATOLOGY TEAM Dr. Ed Tomlinson - Task Leader Dr Ed Tomlinson will be the task project manager and provide the deterministic storm analyses. He brings extensive experience in site-specific PMP studies to the project having managed both regional and site-specific studies. Tye W. Parzybok Mr. Tye Parzybok will provide the statistical analyses. He brings a strong working knowledge of precipitation frequency analysis through the use of state-of-the-art methods (L-moments, hybrid spatial interpolation using PRISM and cost-effective derivation algorithm, efficient QC screening methods and web delivery of data). He has intimately involved in the national updates to NOAA Atlas 2 and TP40. TASK 3: WATERSHED HYDROLOGY TEAM Doug Laiho, P.E. - Task Leader Mr. Laiho will lead the hydrology task, which will be done on the IFSAR mapping platform described under Task 1 of the Scope of Work section below, and will integrate the hydrometeorology from Task 2. Mr. Laiho's primary technical expertise is in hydrology having completed his thesis at the University of Colorado on alpine - hydrologic modeling (SSARR and PRMS) of snowmelt and mixed event flood hydrology in the City of Boulder watershed. He has been responsible for two recent site-specific extreme event studies that contained hydrometeorologic and paleohydrologic components in Colorado at Elkhead Dam and Garnet Mesa Dam. Dr. Robert Jarrett As noted above, paleohydrology will be completed by U.S.G.S. expert hydrologist Dr. Jarrett, who is an internationally known paleohydrologist and well known to the City. Dr. Jarrett has completed a paleohydrologic evaluation for South Boulder Creek (as yet unpublished), which we anticipate will be fully acceptable for use on this project. Mr. Laiho and Dr. Jarrett have been acquainted professionally for many years and have collaborated on projects on Fountain Creek, Elkhead Creek, and elsewhere. Although Dr. Jarrett's work is essentially complete and his other work along the Front Range is well documented, we have budgeted an allowance of additional funds for the following activities: . Site visits and evaluations of additional Front Range sites, as needed . Radio-carbon dating of field samples and tree ring analysis of approximately 10 field locations . . Meetings and communication directly related to this project . Integration of the paleohydrologic analysis into the watershed hydrology 5
