improvement projects. Doug also spent nine years with
the City of Santa Barbara where he managed over 60
capital improvement projects for a total construction cost of over $25M. His experience includes:
Regional Open Space Park and Regional Landfill
Permit Implementation and Compliance, City of Santa
Maria, CA. Program Manager. This $1.5M engineering
project involves negotiating and obtaining permits with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and Army
Corps of Engineers for development of a large regional

survey, design and permit support, and construction
management. This project reviewed the feasibility and
included a cost-benefit analysis of removal of surficial clay sediment layer, or “cap,” in the low-flow channel of the Santa Maria River from the confluence with the
Cuyama River to Bonita School Road. Surface water
flows from dam releases were modeled in HEC-RAS and
infiltration rates established based on field and laboratory measurements to establish the anticipated release water infiltration benefit for groundwater recharge.

Barbara, CA. Project Manager. Doug led in the effort to create the first comprehensive “City of Santa Barbara
Development Engineering Standards” document. This
effort included the review of standards from a number of different agencies in search of the best “models” to use as a template. The City finally settled on an adaptation of the City of Oceanside’s Development Engineering
Standards modified to adapt to the City’s unique needs.
In addition to their current development processes, over twenty local standards were adopted into this document
