F <br />Robert M. Weaver <br />Page 4 <br />• <br />Detailed Skills by Representative Project <br />Upper Colorado River Basin Study: Managed the scoping and implementation of investigations to assess <br />the stream flow and water quality impacts associated with existing and future land use and water diversion in <br />Summit and Grand Counties in Colorado. This project is an ongoing collaborative effort involving East Slope <br />and West Slope water users and governmental entities. The work involves the collection of extensive <br />information on water quality, hydrology, water diversions, current water demands and anticipated future <br />demands. This information has been incorporated into a database and will be used to model existing and <br />future water use and management scenarios and for the analysis of hydrologic and water quality impacts. <br />Data management, modeling and analytical tools developed in this study will be used in future study phases <br />to provide technical support for discussions between stakeholders and for development of strategies to <br />minimize impacts to water users, instream flows and water quality. <br />Edwards Drinking Water Facility: Conducted assessments of impacts on wetlands, riparian areas, <br />instream flows and water quality related to the proposed development of a new water treatment plant and <br />water intake facility located on the Eagle River near Edwards. Assisted the Upper Eagle Regional Water <br />Authority with the preparation of environmental permit applications including the Eagle County 1041 <br />Application, the Floodplain Development Application and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit <br />Application. Served as the Authority's representative during the processing of these applications before the <br />Eagle County staff, the Planning Commission, the County Commissioners, the Colorado Water Quality <br />Control Commission, and the Army Corps of Engineers. <br />Keystone Ski Area Water Quality Assessment: Developed the scope of work, assembled and managed a <br />• team of experts and implemented investigations to monitor and assess water quality and environmental <br />impacts related to artificial snowmaking. This study was carried out in cooperation with the USDA Forest <br />Service in response to concerns about the impacts of trace metals in the water source for the snowmaking <br />system and the potential for impacts of return flows on water quality, plants, soils and aquatic life. This work <br />is ongoing. <br />Interstate Highway-70/Vail Pass Sediment Cleanup and Control: Conducted an evaluation of impacts to <br />Black Lakes and Black Gore Creek caused by highway sanding and erosion from the 1-70 corridor on the <br />west side of Vail Pass. Identified sediment sources, worked with the Colorado Department of Transportation <br />to develop and implement cleanup measures and best management practices to abate erosion and <br />sedimentation problems. This work is ongoing. <br />Pikes Peak Highway Erosion Control Plan Environmental Assessment: Prepared an Environmental <br />Assessment to meet USDA Forest Service NEPA compliance requirements for the evaluation of alternative <br />approaches to the implementation of drainage, erosion and sediment control measures for the Pikes Peak <br />Highway. This effort included an evaluation of water quality impacts caused by erosion and sedimentation <br />that was used by the Colorado Water Quality Control Division for preparation of a Section 401 Water Quality <br />Certification. The project also required the evaluation of risks to sensitive areas and identification of priorities <br />for implementation of improvements. <br />Ski Area Snowmaking Master Plan Environmental Studies: Conducted hydrology, stream channel <br />stability and water quality studies, including field investigations, to assess environmental impacts associated <br />with snowmaking at the Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Areas. This work is ongoing. <br />Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation: Extensive involvement in the management and analytical work <br />associated with the investigation of cooperative water supply options including conjunctive use of surface and <br />• groundwater systems, effluent management, interruptible supply, and systems integration. This project <br />required working with many diverse interest groups and technical analyses to determine water supply yield <br />potential, estimate facilities costs, and identify environmental, legal and institutional issues.
