Role: Water Quality Scientist.

Responsible for preparing sampling and analysis plan and quarterly compliance reports for permit compliance.

Wet Weather Monitoring; UDOT; Utah. SWCA is monitoring stormwater runoff from various UDOT facilities, preparing a year-end report quantifying pollutant loads from UDOT facilities, and describing methods of stormwater samples collection as mandated by UDOT’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System MS4 permit. Role: Assistant Project Manager and Water Quality Scientist. Responsible for coordinating stormwater sampling, communicating with UDOT, preparing flow-weighted composite samples following storm events, completing data analysis on stormwater data, and preparing the final annual report.

Pegram to Soda Anomaly Digs; Williams; Bear Lake County, Idaho. SWCA supported Williams with aquatic resources delineations (ARDs) to support anomaly digs for the Williams Northwest Pipeline in Bear Lake County, Idaho. Role: Water Resources Scientist.

Responsible for conducting ARDs, data QA/QC, and preparing the final report.

U.S. Route 40 Passing Lanes Fruitland; UDOT; Duchenne Country, Utah. SWCA supported UDOT with ARDs to support anomaly digs for the U.S. Route 40 Passing Lanes Fruitland project in Duchenne County, Utah. Role: Water Resources Scientist. Responsible for data QA/QC and preparing the final report.

Provo River Watershed Water Quality Analysis; Central Utah Water Conservancy District; Orem, Utah County, Utah. SWCA has been contracted to support the CUWCD and the Provo River Watershed Council with water quality analysis and annual reporting aimed at protecting and restoring water quality in the Upper Provo River Watershed. SWCA is compiling existing relevant information in the watershed, developing data-driven approaches to identify problem areas, and making recommendations for water quality improvement.

Long-term water quality trends are being evaluated, along with pollutant loading to reservoirs that serve as important drinking water sources for the Wasatch Front. Role: Water Quality Scientist.

Quitchupah Creek Long-term Monitoring; Jones & DeMille Engineering, Inc.; Richfield, Sevier County, Utah. SWCA was contracted to provide long-term monitoring of the creek as mitigation to construction activities. SWCA will monitor and restore sections of the creek for several years. Role: Water Resources Scientist.

PacifiCorp Cutler Relicensing 2021-2022; PacifiCorp; Cache County, Utah. SWCA performed project management, stakeholder facilitation, and technical study implementation on behalf of PacifiCorp in the company’s pursuit of a new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license for the Cutler Hydroelectric Project near Logan, Utah. This work included cultural resources studies; assessment of the aquatic community; a full review of the water quality conditions in the reservoir; and hydraulic analysis and modeling, including the construction of one- and two-dimensional hydraulic models and a one-dimensional sediment transport model for the entire project area.

SWCA led the development of all relicensing documents from the notice of intent/PAD and the NEPA scoping process through to the FLA and WQC. Role: Water Quality Scientist.

Yellowstone Diversion Surrender of License Application; Moon Lake Electric Association, Inc.; Altamont, Duchesne County, Utah.

SWCA is supporting Moon Lake Electric Association through the decommissioning process of a small hydroelectric facility in the Ashley National Forest of Utah. The project centers on the removal of a 15-foot high, 313-foot-long rock-and-crib diversion dam and an associated 2-mile penstock. SWCA has guided Moon Lake through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) surrender of license application, has performed all of the surveys, and has prepared all of the documents included in the application. This included biological and cultural resources field surveys, wetland delineation, NEPA analysis, a historic properties treatment plan, a dam removal and restoration plan, and a restoration design for the stream area inundated by the dam. SWCA facilitated meetings between Moon Lake, FERC, and the U.S. Forest Service to set expectations regarding the level of NEPA analysis and engagement with other federal and state agencies. SWCA also outlined a conceptual restoration plan for the Yellowstone River and associated riparian area and uplands. Primary resource issues of concern included recreation, fisheries, and historic structures. Role: Water Resources Scientist.

SELECTED RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Research Manager – National Science Foundation Grant – Salt Lake Community College, 2019 – 2023. Monitored the Jordan River in Utah for total maximum daily load–listed parameters including dissolved oxygen, temperature, and total dissolved solids. Monitored Little Cottonwood Creek for toxic metals and utilized GIS to better determine pollutant origin.

Undergraduate / Graduate Research Assistant, University of Utah; 2015 – 2018. Studied micro scales textures of sediments on the Bonneville Salt Flat (BSF) Thickness Study project under Dr. Brenda Bowen. Processed large sample sets using various lab techniques involving water and sediment, including core logging, sedimentological characterization, and petrography. Independently synthesized information from 70 cores to further knowledge of how the salt crust responds to environmental change and anthropogenic use. Presented results at the Geological Society of America’s Annual Meeting in 2017.

Lab Technician – University of Utah; Fall 2016. Independently processed microbial, water and soil samples using various lab techniques on the Jordan River
