CONSULTANT shall pay, in a prompt and timely manner, the premiums on the insurance hereinabove required.

This project restored approximately 1,000 acres of wetlands and constructed a new tidal inlet. Considerations included maintaining a muted tidal regime in wetlands areas surrounding a full tidal basin through hydraulic controls and designing a stable inlet without significant interruption to longshore sediment transport.
Sunset Beach Winter Sand Dike Assessment, Huntington Beach, CA. As project manager, analyzed the need for a protective winter sand dike along Sunset Beach for the City of Huntington Beach and provided concept design.
The beach was assessed for its vulnerability to wave overtopping, and the existing practice of installing the dike was reevaluated for its effectiveness. The dike was confirmed to be necessary, and the concept was revised to be lower and farther landward than recent installations to continue providing protection, while improving public access and views.
Huntington Beach Wetlands Restoration, Huntington Beach, CA. Project manager for preparation of the plans to restore the 191-acre Huntington Beach Wetlands. The wetlands were former full tidal salt marsh areas that had been isolated by diking. The regulatory agencies selected a preferred full tidal alternative from several options. M&N conceptually designed the alternative and each option, and provided cost estimates, monitoring requirements, and a course of future actions to take to implement the project. M&N subsequently assisted the client to secure grant funds for implementation and completed the final design for construction. 0250449 E. Qualifications | Category C.
