Smith, Jonathan T. —Resume <br /> services to correct difficulties in stormwater monitoring at retrofit sites because of improper flow <br /> measurement devices,clogging of sampling intakes and difficult access to sampling locations. <br /> Jacksonville Water Supply and Treatment Facilities,City of Jacksonville,Jacksonville,NC. <br /> Design engineer for design and permitting of a stormwater wetland for an 8 mgd nanofiltration treatment <br /> facility for the City of Jacksonville. Prepared complete construction plans and application documents for <br /> submission to NCDWQ for approval of Coastal Area Stormwater Permit. <br /> Shade Valley Outlet,City of Charlotte,Charlotte,NC. Managed project for City of Charlotte to <br /> design structural modifications to the outlet of an existing water quality pond to improve pollutant <br /> removal performance. Specific modifications included the implementation of an adjustable outlet to <br /> allow modification of permanent pool level and design drawdown period. Modifications were <br /> implemented to allow management of water level depths in planted areas and improve vegetative growth <br /> Edwards Branch Feasibility Study and Design,City of Charlotte,Charlotte,NC. Managed Project <br /> for City of Charlotte to conduct feasibility study and provide design services for retrofit modifications to <br /> the Edwards Branch Stormwater Wetland. The offline wetland provided water quality treatment and <br /> detention for a 50+acre watershed comprised primarily of single family residential and commercial uses. <br /> Wetland vegetative coverage within the wetland was limited by poor soil conditions,improper water <br /> levels and waterfowl activity. Assessed the condition of the wetland including the soil characteristics and <br /> overall management and provided a report on the feasibility and cost of improving the wetland <br /> performance through soil amendment/addition,outlet structure modifications,and waterfowl deterrents. <br /> The purpose of the design was to improve the general performance of the BMP in relation to water quality <br /> treatment. Design services included preparation of construction documents for the modification of the <br /> outlet structure,excavation and replacement of existing unsuitable marsh soil where necessary, <br /> development of a planting plan,and prescriptive waterfowl deterrent measures. <br /> St.James Hydraulic Study,Brunswick Co,NC. For the St. James Development Company, conducted <br /> a watershed hydraulic study of an existing residential/golf course community to identify improvements to <br /> relieve flooding concerns observed in recent tropical storm systems. Study included consideration of <br /> improvements to golf course ponds such as active management of pond control structures eventually <br /> manifesting in the development of an emergency action plan. <br /> Development of a Municipal Pilot Stormwater Retrofit BMP Monitoring Program, Charlotte,NC. <br /> Extension Engineer in charge of coordinating city and county stormwater professionals to develop a pilot <br /> BMP monitoring program. Developed Stormwater BMP monitoring guidance manual. Identified BMP's <br /> for monitoring efforts and provided guidance on appropriate site specific and programmatic monitoring <br /> equipment and techniques. Advised municipal stormwater staff on appropriate statistical analysis and <br /> interpretation of program results for inclusion of program results in local,regional and national <br /> monitoring performance databases. <br /> Dye Branch Stormwater Wetland,Mooresville,NC. Provided design services for the site selection, <br /> design,construction documents preparation,permitting and construction administration for an offline <br /> tiered stormwater wetland an urbanized watershed. Wetland design incorporated multi-cell,tiered <br /> configuration allowing the inclusion of the site in a study of the effectiveness of BMP size and <br /> performance limitations of multiple cell systems for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. <br /> Runoff Quantity and Quality Monitoring of Green Roof Installations in Eastern North Carolina. <br /> Extension Engineer in charge of design and installation of monitoring systems for three greenroof <br /> installations in eastern North Carolina. Purpose of the project was to determine the impacts of greenroofs <br /> on the quantity and quality of rooftop runoff in Eastern North Carolina. <br /> Joyner Park Bioretention,Louisburg,NC. Extension Engineer in charge of design,construction <br /> management and monitoring of two bioretention areas providing treatment of runoff from a municipal <br /> park. Research investigated effects of soil media and hydrology on pollutant removal effectiveness of <br /> bioretention areas in piedmont settings. <br /> 4 <br />
