<br />Creek. Detailed hydraulic calculation were used to position the library out of the 100,
<br />year floodplain and to determine where additional floodwater conveyance could be
<br />gained to keep the 1 OO'year flood elevations from rising, Completed drainage and
<br />flood permit evaluations/reports/designs which included floodproofing of the existing
<br />building, Water quality aspects of stormwater were carefully evaluated, Drainage which
<br />could not be directed to grassed swales or infiltrated was routed to new storm sewers
<br />which were manifolded together and passed through a water quality inlet.

<br />. Basin-Wide Alternative DamlReservoir Siting Feasibility Study, Colorado River
<br />Water Conservation District, Northwest Colorado. Project Engineer, Completed
<br />civil/construction aspects of a basin,wide reservoir siting feasibility study on the Yampa
<br />River. More than 60 sites were screened which included visits to many in the field,
<br />Screening criteria included development of a regional PMF relationship, site geometry,
<br />geology, water yield, etc. Protection of in,stream flows for endangered species
<br />preservation was a key element of this nationally unique project.
<br />
<br />· Elkhead Dam/Reservoir Enlargement, Colorado River Water Conservation
<br />District, Craig Colorado, Project Engineer responsible for completing a detailed
<br />feasibility study for the downstream raise of this existing dam/reservoir from 15,000
<br />acre,feet to 50,000 acre,feet in size, Comprehensive studies included detailed
<br />inspection of the existing dam, geotechnical investillations, hydrology,
<br />sediment/stream stability investigations, facilities sizing, costing, and related work,
<br />Also completed a site specific hydrology report for tile dam raise design, including a
<br />detailed reevaluation of the PMP/PMF,
<br />
<br />· Fountain Creek Drainage Basin Planning Study, City of Colorado Springs,
<br />Colorado. Project Manager, Developed a master drainage plan for eight miles of
<br />Fountain Creek through the City of Colorado Springs, New basin hydrology and
<br />hydraulics were determined. A conveyance plan utilizing largely "soft" channel
<br />treatment was proposed and adopted, Preliminary design has been completed,
<br />
<br />. Water Supply and Control Facilities, Rio Blanco Oil Shale Project, Meeker,
<br />Colorado. Project Engineer. Responsible for preliminary planning of water supply
<br />and surface water control facilities for the Rio Blanco Oil Shale project near Meeker,
<br />Colorado. Water supply features evaluated included a major dam on the White River
<br />(100,000 acre-feet), a possible transbasin diversion of Colorado Fliver water (30,100
<br />cfs), on,site storage (100,000 acre,feet), and related large pumping plant (30 MW) and
<br />transmission pipeline (10 feet), A comprehensive review of water rights and proposed
<br />storage facilities was conducted. Surface water control features included numerous
<br />retention and detention dams and surface drainageways required to protect open pit
<br />mine and spent shale disposal area. Structures were sized for the PMF based upon a
<br />statistical analysis of costs associated with the frequency of mine flooding. Conceptual
<br />level engineering plans and cost estimates were prepared,
<br />
<br />. Hardin Dam and Reservoir Feasibility Study, Colorado Water Conservation
<br />Board, Greeley, Colorado, Project Engineer. Responsible for appraisal level study
<br />of all water resource aspects of the Hardin Dam and Reservoir proposed on the South
<br />Platte River near Greeley, Colorado. The primary project objectiVE! was to supply water
<br />for irrigated agriculture by regulating highly seasonal and annually varying river flows
<br />from this 12,000 mi2 drainage area, The feasibility of hydroelectric power production
