<br />Terry Bowen, P.E. <br /> <br />Boyle Engineering, Inc. <br /> <br />Mr. Bowen has over 15 years of experience in water resourc,es planning and management, <br />including hydraulic/hydrologic assessments, computer modding, field investigations, permitting, litigation <br />support, and report WTiting. Selected examples of Mr. Bowen's experience include: <br /> <br />. Project engineer responsible for flood survey, soil (,rosion evaluation, and hydrologic analysis in <br />the Laguna Canyon Flood Investigation, Orange County, CA. This project involved performing <br />an investigation of two extensive flooding events in the Laguna Canyon basin. <br /> <br />. Project Manager (1996-present) for the Union Pacific Railroad Hydrologic/Hydraulic <br />Investigations, Western U.S. Mr. Bowen is responsible for management and technical <br />corrections of all field data collection, hydrologic. analyses, hydraulic analyses, permitting, and <br />reports for approximately 200 sites. <br /> <br />. Site Manager and Engineer (1990-1995) for the hydTOlogic and hydraulic analysis of bridges and <br />culverts being considered for replacement in the Union Pacific Railroad system. Work involved <br />field surveying, computer analysis using I-fEC- I, HEC-2 (now HEC-RAS), and HY-8, and <br />evaluation of alternatives. Performed analyses for over 300 sites in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, <br />Nebraska, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Oklahoma, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Kansas, <br />Iowa, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. <br /> <br />Heather Thompson, P.E. <br /> <br />Boyle Engineer, Inc. <br /> <br />Ms. Thompson specializes in water resources projects involving surface and groundwater <br />modeling, water rights investigations, and hydrologic analyses. Her experience includes, water supply <br />studies, surface water and groundwater hydrologic evaluations, and providing expert testimony. Selected <br />examples of Ms. Thompson's experience which is directly related to the proposed CWCB project include: <br /> <br />. 1993 Midwest Flood Investigation, Southern Pacdfic Railroad. Provided expert testimony in <br />Pietro Culotta Grapes Ltd. Vs. Southern Pacific Transportation Company (Case No. <br />CIV-S-95-215 WBS. Ms. Thompson was Project Engineer responsible for evaluation of the <br />1993 Midwest Floods The work performed for this project involved gathering, reviewing, and <br />summarizing meteorological, hydrologic and hydraulic data, and flood frequency information <br />related to the 1993 Floods to support an Act of God Defense. <br /> <br />. Reviewed flood inundation maps and flood stage data, and compared with rail line elevations to <br />evaluate which rail lines were inundated. Tabulat.~ the Mississippi River stages, levee failures, <br />and rail lines inundated and closed during the month of September 1993 for the area near Quincy, <br />Illinois. Tabulated the Missouri River stages, and rail lines inundated and closed during the <br />month of September 1993 for the area near Jefferson City, Missouri. Provided description and <br />chronology of the major precipitation events and flood events from April 1993 through September <br />1993. Prepared mapping of the impacted flood areas, locations of record river stages, and <br />Missouri River profiles for trial purposes. <br /> <br />. Platte River Water Conservation! Supply Study, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. Ms. <br />Thompson was Project Engineer responsible for characterizing existing water supply systems and <br />evaluating hydrologic effects, consumptive uses, and return flow patterns associated with each <br />alternative. She was also responsible for developing a water budget model to translate the net <br />hydrologic effects of an alternative downstream of the critical habitat. The project involves a <br />study of the entire Platte River basin to identifY alternatives to supply 60,000 acre-feet of water <br />to satisfy the requirements of the Three State/Department of Interior Cooperative Agreement on <br />Endangered Species. Hydrologic impacts will be initially determined with a computer water <br />budget developed in collaboration with representatives of the tlm~ states, two federal agencies, <br />agricultural and municipal water users, and environmental inten'sts. <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />Ar~dERSON CoNsuhiN<j EN<jiNEERS, lNC. <br />
