Mauricio Argente, RLA
<br />Landscape Architecture
<br />Mr. Argente has more than 28 years of combined planning and
<br />engineering experience in both the public and private sectors. His main
<br />strength is leading complex multi -disciplinary projects given his previous
<br />experience as a city planner, a landscape architect, and project manager
<br />of teams of engineers and scientists. Mr. Argente possesses unique
<br />qualifications to integrate engineering science with equal attention to
<br />environmental and aesthetic concerns. In essence, Mr. Argente is a
<br />landscape architect that has a solid understanding of hydrology,
<br />hydraulics, earthworks, infrastructure, and construction. As increased
<br />urban development affects our environment, Mr. Argente has evaluated
<br />and implemented solutions that lessen the environmental impacts of
<br />projects or turn them into environmental assets for the communities.
<br />Many of the project designs managed by Mr. Argente at Travis Air Force
<br />Base received a LEED certification. As a Qualified Stormwater
<br />Practitioner and Qualified Stormwater Designer, Mr. Argente has current
<br />relevant experience with modern water and storm water management
<br />practices that are now required by many governmental entities, including:
<br />bioswales, porous concrete, underground reservoirs, recharge systems
<br />and "smart" irrigation systems. Mr. Argente is also an EnvisionT'
<br />Sustainability Professional.

<br />Culver Boulevard Stormwater Infiltration and Retention Project, City of Culver City, CA. Landscape
<br />Architect. Mr. Argente is serving as the Landscape Architect for this multi -beneficial stormwater regional project.
<br />Tetra Tech was recently selected by the City of Culver City to provide design services to incorporate an
<br />infiltration gallery under a newly reconstructed raised median along Culver Boulevard. The project will also
<br />include retention basins to reuse captured stormwater runoff and urban runoff to irrigate local landscape
<br />medians within the project area. The overall landscape design of this project will include green elements such as
<br />bioswales along the raised median and adjacent roadways to further promote stormwater pollution prevention
<br />education.
<br />Holbrook -Palmer Park Water Capture Project Water Capture Project, Town of Atherton, Atherton, CA.
<br />Landscape Architect. Mr. Argente is responsible for providing landscape architecture design services for a
<br />stormwater capture facility which will divert water from a major flood control storm drain (Atherton Channel),
<br />convey it to an underground infiltration/detention system, and evaluate the potential end points of reuse,
<br />irrigation, infiltration, and/or filtration. The project involves initial engineering and geotechnical assessments,
<br />detailed design, environmental compliance, permitting, construction of a diversion structure and piping,
<br />construction of a pre-treatment facility, excavation and construction of a high void underground
<br />storage/infiltration chamber, disposal of excavated soil, and reconstruction of disturbed portions of the site. The
<br />project is part of the Town's goal to implement green infrastructure planning, stormwater resource planning,
<br />mercury/PCBs load reduction, and trash load reductions.
<br />Carriage Crest Stormwater and Runoff Capture Project, Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County,
<br />Carson, CA. Landscape Architect. Mr. Argente provided landscape architecture services for Carriage Crest
<br />Park, which was identified in the Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) as a high -priority site for
<br />a regional stormwater capture project due to its proximity to two large storm drains with a total drainage area
<br />exceeding 1,100 acres. The project components include a diversion structure to divert water from an existing
<br />storm drain system, a pretreatment structure to remove debris from the runoff, an underground structure to
<br />capture and store the stormwater prior to being discharged back into the existing storm drain system, and a
<br />rehabilitated park surface. Design objectives are to eliminate dry -weather flow from the adjacent channel and to
<br />maximize wet -weather pollutant capture.
