• Primary water quality engineer for the environmental assessment of numerous very large to small projects. These environmental assessments have included development and completion of comprehensive field programs, detailed environmental impact estimates including various computer modeling and development of detailed mitigation measures. Other projects related to water quality and quantity have included diamond mining project impact assessment, thermal energy plant and industrial plant environmental assessment, lake studies and sewage treatment plant and water treatment plant studies. As part of the environmental assessments numerous hydrologic and hydraulic designs and studies and construction impact mitigation plans have been completed.
  
  
• Completion of approximately one dozen comprehensive water conservation plans for municipalities. Village of Fredonia plan resulted in over 200,000 average daily reduction in water use for a 1.6 million gallon system, major contribution to eliminate historical serious supply problem. Developed a reservoir monitoring program that provides warning level and action level decision guidance to purchase water from an adjacent municipality that has served to eliminate water supply emergencies since implemented in 2000.
  
  
• Engineer of record for a number of road construction and reconstruction projects including Chautauqua Avenue reconstruction in the Village of Lakewood, NY, a $2.3 million Townscape project that moved overhead utilities underground, replaced water and stormwater systems and completely redesigned, horizontal and vertical alignment for the completed reconstruction of the Village main street. Other road design projects include the new Green Street in the Town of Ellicott, reconstruction of Jefferson Street in the Village of Westfield, new major ring road for the Cummins Engine Plant in Town of Busti, Strunk Road in the Town of Ellicott, Rider Road 25’ deep, 8” diameter culvert replacement for the Town of Hanover, Lakeview Avenue reconstruction for the Village of Fredonia and the new access road to the Brokenstraw Industrial Park in Pittsfield, PA.
