City of Portland: System Planning and Permitting Support

My professional experience at the City of Portland, Oregon, was focused primarily on combined and stormwater system planning and MS4 permit report development. My role often included project management services in support of the staff, bringing in new ways of framing up projects. These interdisciplinary and cross-functional projects (engineering design, asset systems management, watershed management, operations and maintenance, etc.) led me to studies in working with cross-functional teams, agile philosophy, and adaptive project management.  Some examples:

• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) discharge Permit. Permit Number: 101314. Hydromodification Assessment. November 1, 2014.

• Technical Memorandum 1.4 Pilot Hydromodification Assessment and Proposed Methodology. Phase 1. Pilot- Stephens Creek. March 23, 2013.

• Stephens Creek Stormwater System Plan Final Report. January 2013. Bureau of Environmental Services, City of Portland (Core Team member)

• Hydromodification Assessment Workplan. Dec 22, 2011. MS4 Permit no. 101314: Hydromodification Assessment.
