Sample Project Profiles

4 Washington DC I/I Project (2004): I participated in proposal writing and interview and now managing the project for ATS-Chester Engineers. This project involves a comprehensive study of the Beaverdam Branch Sewer Basin in the Washington, DC area in Prince George’s County. It includes the combination of future flow and capacity needs analysis, Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) analysis, Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES), and an inventory, prioritization, and plan for addressing exposed sewer pipes. The project includes $650,000 of H&H modeling and GIS integration work.

4 Massachusetts CSO Project (2000): I was personally responsible for the successful development of the concept, plan, and proposal for the first of its kind Lynn, Massachusetts CSO abatement project. Costing $20 million less than our competition, our $50 million CSO solution was both innovative and affordable. This project represents the world’s first design/build CSO project! The mayor of Lynn has publicly stated that our approach will save the city 40 million dollars.

4 Pittsburgh Interceptor Project (1993-99): Pittsburgh’s Saw Mill Run Basin was experiencing basement flooding due to inadequate interceptor capacity and stream pollution due to CSO discharges. My solution was construction of a 4-mile long parallel relief interceptor. The $40 million construction project was designed to capture 85% of the wet-weather CSOs annually. The innovative design also allowed future retrofitting of four 10 million gallon CSO storage facilities. The preliminary design was completed in 6 months using a computer hydraulic model (XP-SWMM). The modeling study started in 1994 and the construction was completed in 1999. So far so good! Everything is working great. No basement flooding or manhole overflow complaints have been received since the project completion.

4 Stormwater Management Plans (1988-96): The Stormwater Management Act (Act 167) of Pennsylvania requires that stormwater management plans be prepared for each of the 353 designated watersheds covering the entire state. I worked on six stormwater management plans. The largest project was for the 400 square mile Lake Erie watershed, which consisted of approximately 2,000 subbasins. The plans were developed by employing innovative computer modeling techniques based on GIS and DEM hydrology. This work was published in many peer-reviewed technical publications.

4 Huntington CSO Project (1992-96): The City of Huntington, West Virginia, has a combined sewer system with 23 permitted CSOs. Their NPDES permit requires them to monitor each CSO event for cause, frequency, duration, quantity and quality of flow. As a first alternative to comply with this requirement the feasibility of monitoring all of the 23 CSO locations was studied. This option required purchase, installation, monitoring, and maintenance of flow monitors, water quality samplers, and rain gages for each CSO site. This option was ruled out because of its excessive cost, estimated at over a million dollars, and access and maintenance related problems. My solution consisted of a combination of monitoring and modeling. In this option, a representative subset of CSOs was monitored temporarily to collect sufficient calibration data and develop a calibrated SWMM model for each monitored CSO area. Calibrated model parameters would subsequently be applied to the models of unmonitored CSO areas. CSO models would eventually be used to predict quantity and quality of CSO discharges from observed rainfall data. This option, which saved about 70% money to the client, was also preferred by the EPA (Region V) and was selected for implementation.

4 Expert Testimony (1998): Provided expert testimony and report on behalf of an industrial facility in a law suit filed by USEPA and Department of Justice. The case involved over 1000 counts of alleged NPDES permit violations and over $10 million of civil penalties. My expert reports helped the facility to accomplish an out-of-court settlement consisting of a small number of Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs).
