Ronald Leaf, PE Water Resources Lead Ron is responsible for managing water resources projects and has extensive experience with stormwater pond and storm sewer system design, comprehensive surface water management planning. development reviews, flood studies and mapping. stormwater ordinances, NPDES permitting, stormwater low- impact development practices, and infiltration practices. He previously worked for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). responsible for coordinating revisions to the State's water quality rules, providing legislative testimony on implementation of water quality programs, and developing engineering standards for storage structures and treatment systems. Ron is also experienced in managing projects that require coordinating the goals and efforts of multiple public. private, and government interests. Rocky Keehn, PE, D. WRE, CFM, LEED AP Stormwater Sustainability Rocky has more than 24 years of water resources engineering $ experience. He is regularly involved with or performs design development. project review. quality control from concept to final design, plans and specifications, and const-uctability. Rocky has also taught continuing education courses at the University of Minnesota on Hydrologic /Hydraulic design of stormwater systems. Deric Deuschle, CWD Wetland Specialist Deric is a staff scientist with 12 years of environmental and ecological consulting experience. He primarily provides wetland services, such as delineations, permitting, mitigation siting and design. and monitoring, but also provides experience in environmental documents, threatened and endangered species surveys, tree inventories, water quality analysis, aquatic invertebrate ecology, aquatic invertebrate taxonomy, stream and large river ecology. fish and wildlife studies. nutrient loading analysis, GIS, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). page 11 1 Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. Water Resources and Natural Resources Water and Natural Resources Engineering Services that assist Lino Lakes in: • Protection and enhancement of wetland and natural resources. • Development review to ensure stormwater compliance. • Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans. • Adhering to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) reporting requirements. • Stormwater Management Ordinance assistance. Innovative Best Management Practices With the Rice Creek chain of lakes as a centerpiece in the City, it is critical that development and growth do not provide adverse effects. SEH water and natural resource team offers a full range of planning and design services from individual site stormwater pond design to complex and large scale watershed and conveyance system analyses. One thing we are most proud of is the construction of innovative stormwater best management practices including porous pavements, green roofs and underground detention and infiltration/ filtration systems (runoff volume control). This helps us use a systems approach to projects that require stormwater treatment on a linear corridor or on a development site that has little extra space for conventional practices. We are also experienced in completing wetland assessments, mitigation site design and all aspects of the wetland conservation act. We have experience with public and private ditch system assessment, improvements and maintenance. We have more than 60 staff in our Water Resources, Natural Resources, and Environmental groups to help Lino Lakes implement its Resource Management Plan strategy to address volume control, enhance groundwater recharge, reduce loading to the impaired lakes and maintain the function of the ditch systems for agricultural land uses.
