HELTON & WILLIAMSEN, P.C. <br />James E. Slattery <br />EDUCATION: <br />Colorado State University - B. S. Civil Engineering, 1984 <br />Colorado State University - M.S. in Civil Engineering - Ground Water Modeling, 1986 <br />SOCIETIES: <br />American Society of Civil Engineers, Member <br />American Water Resource Association, Member <br />REGISTRATION: <br />Registered Professional Engineer in Colorado <br />EXPERIENCE: <br />1995- Helton & Williamsen, P.C., Englewood, Colorado <br />Vice President — Responsible for projects involving water supply, water <br />requirements, water rights, reservoir operation, and basin -wide planning. Provides <br />expertise in preparing large computer databases and in developing computer <br />models to solve water resource problems. Performs consumptive use studies to <br />determine water use patterns for both surface and ground water supplies. <br />Representative assignments include the development of a spreadsheet model of <br />the Bear Creek basin, engineering analyses and expert testimony in the second <br />phase of Kansas v. Colorado in the U.S. Supreme Court, development of a daily <br />basin planning model for the Clear Creek basin, and development of a monthly <br />spreadsheet model of the Upper Gunnison basin. Also performed a needs and <br />storage assessment for the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District. <br />1986 -95 Boyle Engineering Corporation, Lakewood, CO. <br />(1992 -95) Project Manager. Managed a wide range of water resource and <br />computer modeling projects, including the development of a comprehensive <br />computer model representing the operation of Denver's extensive water supply <br />system. This model simultaneously represents the operation of Denver's facilities <br />in both the South Platte and the Colorado River basins using a daily time step and <br />a 45 -year study period. Another model was developed to evaluate the monthly <br />operation of the water supply system for the City of San Diego during a 103 -year <br />planning period. Served as technical reviewer for numerous other computer <br />modeling projects and water resource studies including ground water models in <br />North Carolina, Florida, Colorado, and California. Provided engineering to support <br />the transfer of major conditional storage rights in the Colorado and Gunnison River <br />basins. Conducted a gain -loss study for the Greeley- Loveland Canal System in <br />northern Colorado. Analyzed and reviewed numerous ground water pumping tests <br />throughout the United States for unconfined, confined, and leaky- confined <br />aquifers. <br />
