Mr. Lowry has had over twenty-eight years of experience in the civil engineering field, with an emphasis on hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, water transmission lines, wastewater interceptors, civil design, hydroelectric facilities, dam design and construction, construction management, and contract administration. Experience includes design of river and channel improvements; water transmission, storage, pumping and distribution systems; wastewater collection systems; intakes; and sl.ormwater drainage systems and retention facilities. He has worked with several local, state, and Federal agencies.

Under three separate contracts, studies were completed in Arapahoe, Douglas, Teller and Grand Counties for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. TR-20, statistical analyses and regression methods for hydrologic analysis and HEC-2 were used for calculation of water surface profiles. The project involved preparation of mapping of floodplain limits and Hood insurance reports for over 50 miles of streams. Served as Supervising Engineer for a major channel improvement project on the Salt River in Phoenix, Arizona for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Pacific Division. The project, known as Phase 2, Rio Salado, involved the design of 5 miles of a low-flow channel, approximately 15 guide dikes, 3 grade control structures, and retrofits of bridge crossings to prevent scour. The work is part of a larger project to return the channel to predevelopment conditions. The project used previous hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and information to prepare Design Documentation Reports and final Design Material (consisting of contract '"0WGOMERY VI",'TSOI" (fi))
