<br />Jim Koogler. P.E.. CFM <br /> <br />elements included wastewater flow projections, wastewater treatment alternatives, phased expansion <br />options. and consideration of planned resort expansion and future platting of residential lots. The report <br />will be used to assist in developing budgets for a three phase expansion of the plant. <br /> <br />J.L. Lyons Elementary, Magnolia Independent School District - Montgomery Connty, Texas: <br />Project engineer responsible for detailed design of on-site and off-site services including water supply, <br />wastewater collection, lift station, site grading, drainage, electrical services, access roads and parking lots. <br />Design of water supply and wastewater collection included detailed design of an on-site water production <br />facility and extended aeration activated sludge wastewater treatment plant Additional services included <br />waste discharge pennitting, construction administration and inspection. <br /> <br />Bear Branch Junior High, Magnolia Independent School District - Montgomery County, Texas: <br />Project engineer responsible for site improvements including utilities, grading and drainage. Design <br />services also included expansion of the on-site water production facility and wastewater treatment plant. <br />Further elements of the project included waste discharge permitting, construction administration and <br />inspection. <br /> <br />Major Upgrade of the City of Magnolia Water Distribution system - Magnolia, Texas: Due to <br />service area expansion and undersized dislribution mains, water pressure problems were experienced. <br />Mr. Koogler evaluated alternatives of remote storage, pressme maintenance plants and construction of <br />larger main lines to reduce friction losses to remote areas. A model of the entire distribution system <br />revealed that fire protection and system pressures could be enhanced by construction of an additional <br />water main without incurring ongoing additional operating costs associated with multiple water plants. <br />Mr. Koogler also assisted in obtaining funds through a block grant. <br /> <br />City of Magnolia Water Plant Expansion - Magnolia, Texas: Project engineer for a major upgrade of <br />the City's waters production capability. Elements of this project included design and construction of <br />additional ground storage, pressure storage and pumping capacity. <br /> <br />City of Houston Intensive Sanitary Sewer Flow Monitoring and Physical Inspection Project: Mr. <br />Koogler was an engineer for the Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) mandated program to upgrade <br />Houston's wastewater system, reduce infiltration and inflow, eliminate bypasses and enable the City to <br />properly handle wet weather peak flows. Houston's wastewater system comprises over 5,600 miles of <br />sanitary sewers and over 330 lift statiotis. The initial phase of the $1.7-billion program consisted of <br />evaluation of the existing sanitary sewers to redelineate service area boundaries of the wastewater <br />treatment plants. The second phase consisted of flow monitoring to determine the extent of infiltration <br />and inflow. The intent of this study was to identify somces of III and to present recommendations for <br />reducing excessive III through proper management approaches such as sewer system rehabilitation, and <br />selective relief or replacement sewers. Each service area was divided into basins of approximately twenty <br />thousand feet of gravity sanitary sewer. Over 1,500 monitors were used to measure inflow and <br />infiltration. Base flows were determined from water usage rates and population counts and flows were <br />monitored through at least three significant rainfall events. The third phase consisted of physical <br />inspection. Each basin was evaluated for inflow of greater than 20,000 gallons per one thousand feet per <br />day and infiltration of greater 2,000 gallons per clap per inch diameter mile. Seven companies were <br />contracted to inspect the basins with inflow/infiltration problems and all lines greater than 15 inches in <br />diameter. Physical inspection included cleaning and televising, smoke testing, dye testing, night flow <br />isolation and manhole inspection. To aid in the evaluation of the immense amount of computer data, Mr. <br />Koogler assisted in the development of software to establish a very large database of the history of <br />manhole and mainline inspections and the results of those inspections. Hand-held computers were used in <br />the field to encode conditions and establish a formalized reporting system to characterize system <br />condition and to provide a data baseline for remediation. <br /> <br />Espey Consultants, Ine. <br /> <br />Exhibit A, Page 75 <br /> <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
