support optimization of a proposed watershed-scale conjunctive use program. Leveraged
existing knowledge of local and regional water supply and distribution facilities and natural
systems to support the development of a watershed-scale schematic model for use in
developing the DSM. Developed a database to collect data critical to model development,
co-managed the data collection process, compiled information from prior work to streamline
data collection efforts for the agencies, and organized data into a comprehensive data set.

estimates of required capital spending each year based on system inventory and expected
remaining useful life values, and a comprehensive 10-year Capital Improvement Plan.

Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency, Bear Valley Water Sustainability Project,
Big Bear, CA. Staff Engineer. Evaluated conceptual recycled water use alternatives to
retain treated water within Bear Valley and create a sustainable water resource to augment
the region’s potable water supply. Conceptual alternatives were analyzed based on treatment
and regulatory requirements of use types, water supply yield, social and environmental
benefits, and life cycle cost of the alternatives. Assisted in alternatives analysis and prepared
the Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study.
