<br />Professional Experience
<br />Mr. Thaemert has experience in a range of water resources engineering
<br />efforts-including hydrology, open-ch(mnel hydraulics, river mechanics
<br />and morphology, irrigation, and evapotranspiration--since 1991. His
<br />experience includes storm drainage planning and design; hydrologic,
<br />hydraulic and water allocation modeling; fluvial geomorphologic data
<br />collection; crop water use and irrigation feasibility studies; and water
<br />rights administration. Modeling experience includes use of SWMM, HEC-
<br />2, HEC-RAS, SRFR, EXTRAN, and other hydrology and hydraulics
<br />modeling systems. His project experience includes:
<br />
<br />. Big Dry Creek Floodway Improvements, Westminster, Colorado-
<br />Floodway improvement altemativ"snincluding bridge hydraulics,
<br />altered channel cross-sections, channel realignment, and protectiv"
<br />levees--investigated designed to remove the City of Westminster's
<br />wastewater treatIm,nt plant from the lOO-year floodplain. Final
<br />design involved channel improvements, a supercritical waterway
<br />under 1-25, channel reinforcement, and also included environmental
<br />permitting and resident engineer services. This project received a
<br />design awardfrom the APWA Colorado Chapter.
<br />
<br />. Conejos River Floodplain Delineation, Baca County, Colorado -- To
<br />establish a 100-year floodplain along the river, IOO-year hydrology
<br />estimates were prepared from flood frequency analysis of downstream
<br />gages. The HEC-RAS water surface profile model was used to
<br />perform channel hydraulic calculations for the delineation.
<br />
<br />. Warren Farms and Oakridge Storm Drainage Master Plan Updates,
<br />Fort Collins, Colorado -- Extensive SWMM hydrologic modeling and
<br />HEC-2 hydraulic modeling was completed for these two master plans
<br />to update them to present-day conditions. New or modiJ1ed outfall
<br />systems for existing detention ponds were also designed.
<br />
<br />. US-287 Wiley Junction North, Lamar, Colorado - Preliminary
<br />hydrology and hydraulic design of roadway culverts, natural stream
<br />and irrigation ditch crossings for 21 miles of rural interstate highway.
<br />Hydrology performed using multiple regional regression equations
<br />for the eastern plains of Colorado. Hydraulic analysis included HY-8
<br />for culverts, HEC-j for reservoir routing, and HEC-RAS for channel
<br />and floodplain water surface prol1ks.
<br />
<br />. McKay Lake Area Study, Westminster, Colorado - Floodway
<br />improvement alternatives-including channelization alignments,
<br />efficient channel cross-sections, and road crossing st.ructures-were
<br />master-planned for multiple hydrologic routing concepts.
<br />
<br />. Auburn University Club at Yarbrough Farms, Auburn, Alabama -
<br />Floodplain hydraulic modeling to support development of a new
<br />university golf course along the banks of Sougahatchee Creek in
<br />Auburn, Alabama. As previous floodplain modeling in the area was
<br />severely outdated and no longer available, Mr. Thaemert prepared a
<br />new existing-condition HEC-2 water surface profile model for the
