As project manager, Mr. Master led a team that conducted due diligence on a potential site to determine project suitability; recommended a land purchase that was successfully acquired and became project site; evaluated the project design and proposed alternate design to incorporate current best practices and technology; identified additional regulatory issues that increased budget from $24M to $30M while also mitigating expensive future environmental and remediation challenges; assisted in developing an on-going communication strategy with the mayor, council members, local business unit management, and state representatives; and crafted agreements, developed bid proposals and created evaluation process and team to review and select vendors and subcontractors.

Project Manager New Water Supply and Treatment Plant, Haverstraw, New York.

As project manager for this $130M project, Mr. Master led the development of an innovative and cost-effective solution to meet the projected 10-15% increase in potable water demand for this high-density area. In addition to numerous regulatory issues and multiple stakeholder group interest, the location, design, and treatment process needed to be analyzed, developed, and approved. He managed all phases of the entire project from the initial phase through to commissioning. Under his leadership, Mr. Master led a team that created a new position (Communications Director) to address information and public education needs of high-profile project with diverse and multiple stakeholder groups;

evaluated technical engineering solutions and recommended desalination of the Hudson

River as the most cost-effective and reliable water supply for the region; conducted a property search, negotiated a purchase agreement, and obtained corporate approval;

designed the first desalination plant in New York state, prepared plans, addressed

Sameet Master, PE regulatory concerns, developed the project budget, created timelines, and negotiated with vendors, subcontractors, and labor; designed labor, vendor, and subcontractor agreements and RFPs; developed an ongoing stakeholder outreach and communication strategy with mayor, council members, local business unit management, and state representatives;

provided sworn testimony to the New York State Public Service Commission; coordinated and collaborated to address legal issues and political challenges; and effectively translate technical information to ease customer and public concern.

Project Manager, Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements, Springfield, Massachusetts. Mr. Master managed all facets of this $4.5M project. He led a team that was contracted to operate the facility and provided needed capital improvements investments in order to reduce operating costs and bring budget in line while the operation of the facility within regulatory operating and discharge permits needed to continue. The project evaluated project design and a proposed alternate design to incorporate current best practices and technologies. Mr. Master crafted labor agreements, developed RFP guidelines, and awarded contracts based upon evaluation process.

Project Manager, Delaware Aqueduct Interconnection Project.

This $63M project developed a new water supply source for United Water’s Westchester

County service area by connecting to New York City’s Delaware Aqueduct. Due to prior extensive litigation, Mr. Master managed delay’s impact on the project while also proactively addressing community and stakeholder concerns for this design, build, and operate facility within a residential neighborhood with minimum disruption, lifestyle impact, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. He managed all facets of the entire project that included a modified project design to address residents’ objections, municipal safety concerns, community aesthetic requirements, and construction impact concerns;

identified a win-win solution that utilized open space and minimized disruption of traffic and commerce; coordinated and collaborated with legal departments to proactively address issues; translated technical information for the community to ease public concern;

provided project updates to elected officials to address all concerns; and developed an ongoing stakeholder outreach and communication strategy to multiple community sectors including municipal officials, residents, state officials, local business unit management team, and environmental organizations.

Jasmine Quiambao

While Ms. Quiambao was at the University of New Mexico (UNM), her research project investigated the co-occurrence of microplastics, uranium, and arsenic in heavy metal-contaminated freshwater systems and their potential interfacial reaction. Ms. Quiambao has experience in the area of surface chemistry with the integration of field and controlled laboratory experiments with aqueous chemistry, microscopy, and spectroscopy analyses.

Work Experience

Environmental Engineer, Stormwater Compliance, Albuquerque Aviation Department

Environmental Services, City of Albuquerque, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ms.

Quiambao conducted site visits at the Albuquerque International Sunport and Double Eagle

II Airport (DEII). She investigated the facilities related to Spill Prevention, Control, and

Countermeasure (SPCC) at the DEII airport. Ms. Quiambao assisted with updating the DEII

SPCC Plan. Ms. Quiambao’s work includes quarterly indicator monitoring, visual stormwater monitoring, quarterly inspections, stormwater sampler installation, deicing inspections, qualitative monitoring reports (QMR), stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) updates and training presentations.

Environmental Engineer, Stormwater Master Plan, San Patricio County, San Patricio, Texas. Ms. Quiambao contributed to the PC storm water management model (SWMM) modeling in Odem City, Texas. She identified and input attributes for culverts, weirs, and transects within the Odem city limits.

Environmental Engineer, Volcano Cliffs Arsenic Treatment Facility and Pumping

Station Upgrades, Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ms. Quiambao contributed to engineering calculations. She performed pipe length restraint calculations for the buried ductile iron pipe in the Arsenic

Treatment Facility. She also performed hydraulics and WaterPro! Calculations. Ms.

Quiambao reviewed record drawings and updated civil drawing sheets, permits and specifications.

Environmental Engineer, Cloudcroft PURe Water, Cloudcroft, New Mexico.

Ms. Quiambao contributed to the preliminary cost estimates and vendor coordination.

Leader. He has over 30 years of experience in integrated water resources management, water supply planning, water demand forecasting, scenario planning, climate resiliency, resource economics, financial planning, and stakeholder process design. Mr. Rodrigo is an expert in decision science using tools such as system integration models, multi-criteria decision analysis software, and triple bottom line approaches. These tools have been successfully used by Mr. Rodrigo to garner consensus on alternatives and develop adaptive management plans that phase in water resources investments over time based on risk triggers. Plans managed by Mr. Rodrigo have successfully resulted in the implementation of over $20 billion in capital improvements.

Project Manager, Integrated Master Plan, City of San Diego Public Utilities

Department, San Diego, California. San Diego Public Utilities is one of the largest, most complex water, wastewater, and recycled water utilities in the country. In the past, these utility components were planned separately. But with the advancement of the City’s Pure

Water Program that will purify reclaimed wastewater for potable water supply, along with pressures of climate change and future regulations, the City wanted to develop an

“integrated” master plan to examine water, wastewater, and recycled water in a more holistic manner. This effort will include a comprehensive risk assessment of all existing utility assets, analyses of impacts of climate change, and reassessment of new projects.

Project Manager, Integrated Resources Plan (IRP), Elsinore Valley Municipal Water

District, Lake Elsinore, California. CDM Smith is currently updating the IRP for Elsinore

Municipal Water District, focusing on incorporating climate change and other uncertainties in imported and local water supplies in Riverside County. Water supply gaps have been estimated under a five-planning-scenarios order to identify resiliency strategies that can be implemented in the near, medium, and long-term future. Alternatives have been ranked based on triple-bottom-line criteria. These alternatives include potable reuse, water banking, seawater desalination, and stormwater capture.
