Principal Hydrogeologist with Todd Groundwater to evaluate several concepts that included
Todd Groundwater river and offline basin recharge facilities to spread stormwater and
510.747.6920 x104 CRW. Tasks included review or existing facility design, operations,
elin@toddgroundwater.com and maintenance; evaluation of multiple concepts which included
Key CWE Staff: development of concept design drawings, cost estimation, and
evaluation based on criteria such as capital cost, operation and
