Daniel S. Miller, P.E.
Water Resource Engineer

Mr. Miller is a project engineer for Lidstone & Anderson, Inc. (LA). He has over 6
years experience in the hydraulic engineering and water resources fields. He has been project
engineer for a variety of projects involving data collection, analysis, design and construction
management. His experience has included hydraulic analysis and design, hydrologic analysis,
sediment transport analysis, channel stability analysis, hydrographic data collection, water quality
sampling, hydraulic design of open channel structures and design of erosion control structures.
Mr. Miller's experience includes extensive computer modelling with the Corps HEC-l and HEC-
2 computer models and the EPA's Stormwater Management Model (SWMM). Additionally, he
is experienced in the application of several models for evaluating the sediment transport along
natural watercourses. Descriptions of typical projects are listed below.

. Mr. Miller has performed hydraulic and sediment transport analyses in the design of the
relocation of a section of Monroe Creek near Weiser, Idaho. Hydraulic analysis included
the use of the USCOE HEC-2 model. Sediment transport analyses utilized the Sediment
Continuity (SEDCON) model in addition to a Lane's relationship analysis.

. As project engineer, Mr. Miller utilized the Meyer-Peter, Muller bedload relationship
and Sediment Continuity (SEDCON) computer model to analyze the natural
replenishment of sediment to an instream gravel mining operation near Jackson,
Wyoming.

. Mr. Miller has also utilized the Meyer-Peter, Muller bedload relationship and SEDCON
computer model for a stream bank stabilization study along the East Fork of the Carson
River near Minden, Nevada. Hydraulic characteristics of the river were determined with
the HEC-2 model. The USCOE method was utilized for the design of riprap channel
bank revetment.

. As project engineer, Mr. Miller performed the hydraulic design and scour potential
evaluation for a bridge replacement in the Northern Colorado mountains. Rock
revetment was designed for the bridge abutments.

. Mr. Miller was project engineer for the hydrologic, hydraulic, and sediment-transport
studies in support of an Environmental Impact Report for proposed instream sand and
gravel mining operations in the Santa Clara River near Ventura, California.

. Mr. Miller was project engineer for a hydrologic analysis and erosional feature inventory
of the 630 square-mile Coldwater River watershed in northern Mississippi. The HEC-l
model was utilized to determine flood peaks and volumes. An in-depth field study was
performed to identify locations and causes of bed and bank erosion along 126 miles of
stream channels within the watershed.

. He was responsible for the hydraulic analysis of crossing alternatives to an existing
footbridge within the Spring Creek Drainage Basin to reduce flooding potential to
residences within the City of Fort Collins.
