Environmental Impact Studies

Mr. Paulson has prepared technical portions of environmental impact studies for a variety of
water resources projects, including:

. Technical contributions to the EIS for Clark County Wetlands Park in Las Vegas, Nevada,
with emphasis on water quality and channel erosion issues
. Technical contributions to the EIS for NEPA compliance for the Provo River Restoration
Project in Utah

Engineers/Los Angeles County improvements to the Los Angeles River, involving
hydrology, hydraulics, reservoir modeling, and alternative development
. Preparation of the water resources elements of Environmental Impact Reports associated with
expansion of wastewater treatment plants in Burbank, Moorpark, Rialto, Temecula,
Thousand Oaks and Lake Elsinore, California
