<br />Heather L. Justus, resume <br />page 2 <br />• irrigation well pumping. Estimate the Hydrogeologic properties of the alluvial aquifers <br />including hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, saturated thickness, and boundary <br />conditions. We used modified Glover techniques and groundwater modeling. This is an <br />ongoing project that involves the use of GIS tools that we developed for this project. This <br />study is for Central Colorado Conservancy District in support of the District's augmentation <br />plan. <br />Evaluation of the Cherry Creek Alluvial Open Space near the Town of Parker for the purpose <br />of determining the impacts of future proposed pumping within the Cherry Creek Alluvium. <br />The evaluation include but was not limited to creating water table maps, determining the <br />hydrogeologic characteristics of the aquifer, and determining the regional drawdown due to <br />proposed pumping. An environmental assessment was completed on the site that included <br />mapping of major vegetation and using the drawdown maps created to estimate the potential <br />loss of wetland and riparian plant acreage that may be lost due to the proposed pumping. We <br />also provide potential mitigation options. <br />• Developing a Visual MODFLOW computer model for litigation in Arizona. The project <br />involved using computer modeling to estimate the drawdown and stream depletions of a well <br />pumping near a stream's subflow zone. <br />• Alluvial aquifer characteristic study for the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority to guide <br />future ground water development. The project included a GIS evaluation, aquifer extent <br />mapping and permitting. The GIS evaluation involved importing the State Engineer's Master <br />Well List into ArcView, adding data from the State Engineer's well records, researching and <br />. adding USGS data, and supplementing the data with site-specific information. GIS products <br />included: an aquifer thickness map, a saturated thickness map, reported well yield maps, and <br />water quality graphs. <br />• Estimating the ground water resources available in each county of the Denver Basin using <br />GIS. The task included importing the State Engineer's Denver Basin saturated thickness <br />maps, converting the Senate Bill 5 Basic program into Avenue language to use in ArcView, <br />and calculated the amount of water available in storage. The product included a map of the <br />ground water resources of the Denver Basin. <br />GIS and MODFLOW analysis for a large ground water model in Arizona that involves the <br />use of aquifer parameter digital maps and databases to interpret hydrologic characteristics in <br />the basin; development and interpretation of GIS digital maps from USGS, DEQ, and EPA <br />databases, conversion of GIS data into MODFLOW input files and importing MODFLOW <br />output files into GIS; and the development of databases and GIS digital maps from reported <br />data. Using MODFLOW to determine the historic, current and future scenarios of the basin. <br />Surface and ground water resource evaluation for the Bear River Basin, Wyoming using GIS. <br />Involves data collection and interpretation. GIS products include: an aquifer characteristic <br />map, reported well yields map, water quality maps, conversion of the USGS Ground Water <br />Site Inventory database into a geographic data set and map, development of Wyoming State <br />Engineer's Water Rights Records into a Point of Diversion geographic database and <br />conversion of USGS Water Quality data into a geographic data set and map. Other duties <br />included: general GIS support, database management, and technical report writing. <br />• Ground water monitoring of mountain wells near Black Hawk for the purpose of determining <br />• the potential impact to nearby municipal wells. <br />Leonard Rice <br />ENGiNEERS,CNC. <br />,?
