m essional capabilities <br />Heather Aompson, PE, Hydrology and East Slope Alternatives <br />Heather Thompson has considerable experience in river basin modeling, including data <br />assembly, model file construction, model execution, and analysis of results. She was <br />responsible for the development of a surface water model of the lower North Platter River <br />Basin using RIBSIM. Most recently, she was involved in the development and application <br />of spreadsheet and BESTSM models for the Platte River Water Conservation /Supply Study, <br />Windy Gap Firming Project and the City of Aurora's South Platte Strategic Plan. Heather <br />also has considerable experience in water resource planning. As assistant project <br />manager for the Platte River Water Conservation /Supply study she was involved in the <br />identification and evaluation of over 70 supply- and demand -side alternatives to increase <br />average annual flows in the Platte River in Central Nebraska by a minimum of 60,000 ac- <br />ft. Alternatives evaluated included on -farm efficiency improvements, municipal <br />conservation, reuse, reduction or retirement of irrigated lands, dry year leasing, <br />conjunctive management of surface /groundwater supplies, watershed management and <br />re- regulation opportunities. She was also integrally involved in the development of <br />screening /evaluation criteria and the methodology used for applying criteria and scoring <br />the various alternatives. Similarly, she was involved in the identification of a multitude of <br />structural and non - structural alternatives for the Windy Gap Firming Project. Alternatives <br />evaluated included new storage, enlargement of existing reservoirs and gravel pit <br />development, aquifer storage, and non - structural and institutional options. She also <br />participated in the development and application of screening /evaluation criteria in an <br />effort to assist the Participants in the identification and selection of a preferred alternative. <br />Bill Hain, PG, Ground eater & AquiJer Storage <br />Bill Hahn is experienced in performing and managing hydrogeologic investigations for <br />municipal, state and federal agencies, and mining, energy, power, and water supply <br />industries. He specializes in ground water resource investigations in support of water <br />supply planning and development, appraisal of long -term reliability of supplies, aquifer <br />storage and recovery, and numerical modeling. He has had direct responsibility for <br />design, construction and testing of over 200 potable supply wells in diverse geologic <br />settings, with well depths ranging from less than 25 feet to over 2,400 feet. Mr. Hahn's <br />experience also includes planning, design, and construction of injection wells to depths of <br />over 8,000 feet. Mr. Hahn has served as an expert witness in State Courts, Federal District <br />Court, and in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. He has authored numerous <br />technical papers on the subjects of ground water development, deep well injection, and <br />aquifer storage and recovery. In 1999, Mr. Hahn served on a panel of 16 experts from <br />across the nation in reviewing an EPA risk assessment relative to aquifer storage and <br />recovery and Class V injection wells. <br />Environmental, Recreational, & Institutional Constraints and <br />Enhancements <br />>f <br />Paula Dauhas, Permitting <br />Paula Daukas is a Water Resources Scientist with 23 years of professional experience in <br />NEPA environmental impact analysis and permitting.
