Work History
Senior Water Quality Planner / TMDL Program Manager
Pierce County Public Works, Surface Water Management Division
01.2014 - 01.2023
- Senior Water Quality Planner / TMDL Program Manager with Pierce County Surface Water Management (SWM). My position focuses on environmental diagnostics that guide stream restoration and repair work, water quality recovery and stormwater capital project implementation. I have advanced skills in the areas of watershed and MS4 diagnostics, study design, data collection, modeling, sensitivity analysis and technical plan writing. This work directly supports effective capital planning and project delivery that's focused on performance engineering, causal outcomes and positive environmental improvements. I lead the SWM regulation and policy analysis group, and I now manage the County’s new Groundwater Flood Hazard Management program. I currently manage a complex TMDL program that has sponsored and delivered eleven (11) diverse capital projects that were designed to work synergystically. I had a direct role in the negotiation and crafting of the Clarks Creek TMDL Dispute Resolution Agreement (DRA) with Ecology and the EPA. I authored the Clarks Creek TMDL Implementation Plan and I direct its capital planning and project implementation elements. This program also includes a 5-Year Reassessment project which is a complex, multiyear diagnostic study required by the DRA to confirm the technical underpinnings of the TMDL. I authored the 6-Year Work Plan for how to develop the County’s new TMDL Alternative Plan in Clover Creek, a system with five different 303d listed impairments. This emerging program includes an initial 5-year "Straight to Implementation" capital plan that is delivering 3 stormwater retrofit projects, as wells as a novel bacterial Pollution Identification and Control Program. Both programs require close coordination with the Puyallup Tribe and the neighboring municipalities.
Senior Project Planner / Project Manager
Cardno
01.2010 - 01.2014
- I worked for Cardno Entrix for 5-years as a Senior Project Planner / Project Manager. I was attached to the Restoration Engineering and Geomorphology Group. I have extensive working knowledge of project management and I'm skilled at maintaining the project's focus and facilitating customer engagement throughout the project's delivery. My work included consulting municipal clients on NPDES permit interpretation and compliance, capital project conception, design and implementation. I also provided guidance on riparian and wetland revegetation techniques, soil characterization, water quality analysis and technical report writing. I was the senior soil scientist and PM for capital projects involving erosion and sediment control, geomorphic hill-slope repair, salmonid habitat restoration and stormwater quality improvement. I conducted comprehensive site assessments and authored complex implementation plans for highly disturbed sites which were difficult to repair and subject to regulatory enforcement.
