Her extensive experience also includes performing <br />as a liaison between the technical team, client <br />representatives, and the lead agency on regulatory <br />discussions. <br />Recent Experience includes: <br />♦ City of Elk Grove, Stormwater Program Regulatory Compliance Grant Preparation <br />♦ Tuolumne Land Trust, Clavey River Ecosystem Program Watershed Assessment and Grant <br />Application <br />♦ Colusa Basin Drainage District, the Resources Agency, Sacramento River Restoration Project, <br />Grant Applications <br />♦ Yuba Sutter Regional Conservation Plan and Grant Applications <br />D. UNDERSTANDING OF NEED <br />Understand <br />The City of Santa has recently completed a comprehensive city-wide Storm Drain Master Plan Phase 1 <br />(2015 SDMP) prepared by Michael Baker. The 2015 SDMP performed hydrology in accordance with the <br />Orange County Hydrology Manual and City of Santa Ana design criteria. The primary objective of the <br />2015 SDMP was to provide recommendations on flooding issues relating to the existing storm drain <br />facilities. Analysis for the entire City was divided into seven (7) regional watersheds. Most of the city <br />storm drain facilities tie into OCFCD regional channels. These channels have high water surface <br />elevations or are deficient which significantly impact the local storm drain hydraulics. The storm drain <br />hydraulics for the 2015 SDMP used a hydrodynamic modeling utilizing the Bentley CivilStorm software. <br />The Phase 2 SDMP will enhance the calculations and the capital improvement plan identified in the 2015 <br />SDMP with more detail analysis including hydrology methodology and alternative flood storage <br />infrastructure. Michael Baker's intimate knowledge of the existing models will facilitate our review of the <br />drainage systems. <br />In order to avoid major infrastructure improvements and provide the City with the most economic and <br />feasible solutions to alleviate flooding to the existing deficient storm drain system, the City is interested <br />in exploring a variety of Low Impact Development (LID) strategies which will reduce and/or eliminate <br />future flooding. Our team understands the City has expressed interest in specific LID strategies including <br />but not limited to underground detention and retention systems located within public parks and other - <br />open spaces in order to avoid major reconstruction of existing storm drain facilities. These LID strategies <br />will focus on minimizing and/or eliminating the need to increase existing storm drain infrastructure while <br />providing multiple beneficial uses such as ground water recharge, enhanced water supply through <br />stormwater harvesting, and stormwater quality treatment. Along with these strategies, if desired by the <br />City, Michael Bakerwill identify additional LID strategies such as green streets that have been successful <br />in previous projects throughout California. Some identified projects may serve as future alternative <br />compliance projects for the City, as currently Orange County is exploring an alternative compliance <br />program with assistance from Michael Baker. <br />Page 1 6 <br />INTERNATIONAL <br />
