Resume of:

Barbara M. Burns, CPESC

I have been engaged in civil/environmental engineering design since 1978.

My responsibilities have included establishing design criteria and meeting

project schedules. I have experience in storm water hydraulics and

hydrological analysis and computer modeling, the investigation and

preparation of Environmental documents including FONSI, CE, and Phase I

Environmental Assessments, designing roadway horizontal and vertical

alignments, airport design including the preparation of bid documents and

construction management, all aspects of civil site design, and the design

and preparation of BMPs for soil erosion and sedimentation plans. My

experience as a Civil/Environmental Engineer have included:

* Experience providing training, technical assistance and technology

deployment in the area of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),

project development and related environmental requirements including both

the natural, social and cultural environments for the transportation

community. Preparation of NPDES, SPCC, and SWPPP permitting and

compliance.

* Preparation of the EA documents required me to consult and provide

technical resource on FHWA policy, procedures, and guidance on NEPA,

Section 4(f), Section 106, archeology, project level AQ conformity

determinations, noise impacts, the coordination of ROW issues and all

other Federal laws, regulations, Executive Orders, and directives related

to social, economic, and environmental considerations applicable to the

Federal-aid highway program and to State and Local funding projects.

* As project manager, I have been responsible for the management,

supervision, and performance of the day to day tasking of assignments to

Engineer Interns and Technicians who have been assigned to my work group

by providing advice and guidance when technical interpretation, opinion,

or decisions are solicited. Consultations involve assessment of

engineering design, modification, evaluations, specifications,

construction or production, maintenance, improvements, or personnel

training. My work group performed the planning, designing, and

construction management for transportation projects for FHWA, State DOT,

and Local County/Municipalities. I also work with surveying team in

investigating, measuring, surveying and mapping the earth's physical

features and phenomena, in preparing floodplain/floodway analysis,

highway design, and bridge hydraulics.
