San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, 2015 Regional Urban Water
Management Plan, San Bernardino, CA . Principal in Charge. Being developed with the
participation of the following agencies: SBVMWD, East Valley Water District, Riverside-
Highland Water Company, West Valley Water District, Yucaipa Valley Water District, the
City of San Bernardino Municipal Water District, and the Cities of Colton, Loma Linda,
Redlands, and Rialto. Collaborating and collecting data from the agencies listed above to
update water supply and demand projections through 2035 based on changes since the 2010
UWMP and compliance with SB-7. New requirements will be addressed, such as
distribution system losses reporting as part of demand and digital submittal through DWR’s
new templates and online submittal database. Voluntary analysis of energy intensity in
water deliveries and climate change impacts will also be completed during the update.

City of Pismo Beach, Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study, Pismo Beach, CA.
Principal in Charge. Prepared a facilities planning study, funded in part by a planning
grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board Water Recycling Funding
Program. Investigated multiple alternatives to put the City’s treated wastewater, which is
currently discharged to the ocean, to beneficial use, including 1) landscape irrigation within
the City to offset potable water use, 2) coastal injection wells to protect the basin from
seawater intrusion and 3) inland recharge using existing storm water basins or new inland
injection wells to optimize seasonal groundwater recharge. Evaluated regulatory, water
supply and stakeholder considerations affecting the development of a recycled water
program. Identified and evaluated treatment and conveyance alternatives, including
repurposing abandoned facilities and maximizing the use of existing facilities to develop a
cost-effective recycled water program.
Santa Barbara County Water Agency, Long Term Supplemental Water Supply
Alternatives Report. Principal in Charge. Identified and evaluated potential
supplemental surface water supply alternatives for the Santa Barbara County Water Agency.
Analyzed historical State Water Project (SWP) deliveries through the Coastal Branch
pipeline to identify estimates of available capacity and underutilized SWP supplies.
Investigated potential opportunities to increase surface water storage through expansion of
existing dams or construction of new reservoirs. Evaluated sediment removal alternatives
for existing reservoirs to increase capacity and yield. Developed planning level cost
estimates for proposed supplemental water supply alternatives. Participated in inter-
regional, regional and intra-regional stakeholder meetings to identify, discuss, review and
receive feedback on potential supplemental water supply alternatives.
Big Bear Area Regional Water Agency, Bear Valley Water Sustainability Project, Big
Bear, CA. Principal in Charge. Evaluating conceptual recycled water use alternatives to
retain treated water and create a sustainable water resource to augment the potable water
supply. Alternatives will be analyzed based on treatment and regulatory requirements of use,
water supply yield, social and environmental benefits, and life cycle cost. Project includes
assisting in the procurement of state and federal funding.
Yucaipa Valley Water District, Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility
Design and Construction, Yucaipa, CA. Design Manager. Completed design and bidding
assistance for a new 12 mgd microfiltration and nanofiltration facility. Design included
influent flow control, microfiltration using Pall membranes, nanofiltration and blending
facilities for DBP precursor removal, dissolved air floatation treatment for MF backwash,
disinfection using sodium hypochlorite, 7-million gallon prestressed concrete reservoir for
finished water storage, 1000 feet of 48” diameter finished water piping including 600’ of 66-
inch jack-and-bore tunnel, security features, and slope protection for the adjacent flood
control channel.
