<br />Summary
<br />Mr. McLaughlin's experience is chiefly in water resources and
<br />environmental engineering and includes recreational whitewater
<br />facility design; drainage engineering; river restoration; closed
<br />conduit fIow~ design of pipelines and diversions, computer
<br />modeling, hydrology, hydraulics, and multi-use (recreational
<br />and drainage) facilities. Drainage and flood control capital
<br />improvement projects have included design of lined and unlined
<br />channels, culverts, detention facilities, flume and weir
<br />structures, raw water diversions, and river intake structures;
<br />mathematical and physical modeling of energy dissipaters and
<br />subsequent design; and open channel hydraulics. He is also
<br />experienced in basin-wide drainage master planning,
<br />incorporating hydrology, floodplain and damage analysis, and
<br />alternative development.
<br />
<br />Relevant Project Experience
<br />
<br />American River Restoration, Placer County Water Agency, Auburn, CA
<br />Principal-in-Charge, Lead Design Engineer for the majority of phases: Overall responsibility for
<br />alternative analysis, and preliminary and final design of this high profile river restoration project.
<br />Design emphasis is a natural river configuration and diversion that create whitewater recreation,
<br />fish habitat, and utilization of natural materials. The highly innovative multi-use diversion
<br />includes a drop/pool recreational whitewater course and a continuous rapid. The river restoration
<br />will re-establish the American River in its former alignment, and include riffles, pools, newly
<br />exposed canyon walls, and access. These multi-purpose elements will provide recreational
<br />benefits, fish habitat and passage, and a reliable diversion. Responsibilities and efforts have
<br />included: primary authoring of alternative and preliminary design reports, participation in a
<br />Value Engineering (VE) study, EIS review, detailed hydraulic and river stability analysis, and
<br />[mal design.
<br />
<br />Batavia Dam Rehabilitation, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Chicago, IL
<br />Principal-in-Charge, Lead Design Engineer: This project includes replacement of the Upper
<br />Batavia Dam along the Fox River in Illinois, with various whitewater drops and jetties. The
<br />multi-use features create recreational amenities, fish habitat, environmental restoration, and
<br />economic development. The recreational whitewater features will be designed toward open deck
<br />river craft such as rafts, kayaks, and some types of canoes. The project also involves integrating
<br />the trail system with boat portage and access trails and preservation and enhancement to an
<br />adjacent waterfront park and pond. Responsibilities and efforts have included extensive
<br />alternative analysis and authoring of several detailed reports, two-dimensional hydraulics and
<br />preliminary design.
