James Borchardt PE <br />Technical Review <br />44 years of experience - Pasadena, California <br />James (Jim) has 44 years of experience in project management and engineering for large water treatment, <br />conveyance, and storage facilities. He is an award -winning water treatment specialist, as well as a contributing <br />author of the industry textbook, Water Treatment Principles and Design, 3rd Edition; used to teach water <br />treatment in universities across the country. He has managed over 250 treatment projects with a total <br />construction value of over $3 billion. He has also completed water quality studies, bench and pilot scale testing, <br />facility planning and design, process evaluation, hydraulic analysis, treatment plant design, construction <br />management, startup and operation for over 125 water treatment facilities ranging in size from 0.5 to 750 MGD. <br />Jim has been directly responsible for the completion of more than two dozen water treatment plant projects in <br />Southern California in the last 10 years, including both new plants and plant modifications. <br />N1r193dDIZ <br />MS, Environmental Engineering, University of North <br />Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina <br />BS, Civil Engineering, Colorado State University, <br />Fort Collins, Colorado <br />REGISTRATIONS <br />Registered Civil Engineer #35819, California <br />PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />On -Call Consulting Services for PFAS Treatment <br />Systems Design I OCWD I Santa Ana, California <br />Technical Review <br />Jim is working in the technical review capacity with a <br />similar staff and subconsultant team on this project for <br />OCVVD. His work includes third -party review of <br />preliminary design, final design, bid phase support. <br />engineering services during construction, and part <br />time inspection services. This ongoing assignment is <br />currently in construction. <br />TCP and Nitrate Removal Feasibility Study <br />Monte Vista Water District I Claremont, California <br />Project Manager <br />Jim served as project manager for this District -wide <br />investigation of TCP and Nitrate removal. Due to the <br />complex distribution of groundwater contaminants, <br />the study required the evaluation of how best to group <br />and locate treatment, while minimizing new piping <br />and fitting facilities into available space on restricted <br />sites. Both ion exchange and biological treatment <br />were evaluated for nitrate removal, while TCP <br />removal was accomplished using granular activated <br />carbon (GAC) adsorption. The study included <br />preparation of a multi -phase approach to address <br />current and future treatment needs. <br />Round Mountain Treatment Plant 1 Camrosa Water <br />District I Camarillo, California I Project Manager <br />Jim led the design and construction of this 900-GPM <br />brackish water reverse osmosis (RO) plant. The new <br />treatment plant utilizes local groundwater sources to <br />reduce dependency on imported potable water. The <br />design included pretreatment for removal of high <br />levels of iron in the source water. Concentrate from <br />the membrane system is discharged into the nearby <br />regional salinity management pipeline. Jim managed <br />the membrane system preliminary design, final <br />design, and engineering services during construction. <br />Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) <br />City of Santa Monica (City) I Santa Monica, California <br />Project Manager <br />Jim managed the planning and conceptual design of <br />the SWIP project and is now leading Stantec's team <br />as Owner's Engineer on this progressive design -build <br />project. SWIP was created to help the City achieve its <br />long-term goal of water sustainability and drought <br />resilience by using all its local water resources, <br />including stormwater runoff, recycled municipal <br />wastewater, and brackish groundwater. The Sv/lP <br />combines each of these sources to produce <br />approximately 1.680 AFY of advanced treated water <br />for City use in lieu of imported water supply. The <br />SWIP will produce water of advanced treated quality <br />that when properly permitted, will be acceptable for <br />potable reuse via replenishment of the City's natural <br />groundwater aquifers. Until final permits are obtained. <br />the SWIP water will be used to meet existing recycled <br />water demands. such as Irrigation. street cleaning, <br />and toilet flushing. <br />City of Santa Ana On Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 A-13 <br />
