City of Peoria, 2007 to 2019, now retired.  As the Peoria's Water Policy Administrator, I provided regulatory and hydrogeological expertise for the City, and actively represented the City at Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD), Salt River Project (SRP), Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), Arizona Power Authority, Bureau of Reclamation, and other organizations. 

• Based on extensive familiarity with ADWR statutes and rules, successfully prepared the renewal application for the Peoria’s Designation of Assured Water Supply and the withdrawal of the City from the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (Peoria is the only major city to have ever withdrawn).

• Handled all renewals and updates of City’s Recovery Well, Service Area, and other permits with ADWR, Annual Reports to ADWR, and updates for City’s Water Delivery and Use Agreement with SRP.  All service area wells were added to the recovery well permit in preparation for the future.

• Secured award of 691 kilowatts of capacity and 1.5+ million kilowatt-hours of usage in the Federal re-allocation of hydroelectrical power from Hoover Dam, in order to offset rising electrical costs of running treatment plants.

• Applied hydrogeological and regulatory expertise to well design and location and development of recharge facilities, including a new well in the previously unexplored Lake Pleasant Sub-basin.

• Conducted multiple reviews of proposed developments in Peoria for water resources sufficiency, and participated in developed of Integrated Resources Master Plan.

​

• Managed the State Lead Unit of the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, supervised six senior hydrologists conducting 130 site investigations and remedial actions across Arizona, all under budget.

• Wrote scopes of work for new state contracts with consultants, supervised consultant work, and negotiated reductions in charges with state contractors, working closely with Procurement Section to resolve performance and billing problems and gain the best value for Arizona.

​

Arizona Hydrological Society, 1985 to present.  Active participation in Arizona Hydrological Society, a leading volunteer organization, has provided opportunities for networking and professional development, enhanced my oral and written communication skills, and developed skills at eliciting cooperation amongst disparate personalities, and motivating efforts to achieve AHS goals.

​

So I have education and experience well covered, and that gives me the expertise that the Board of Directors of the Central Arizona Water Conservation District needs in this time of crisis.  Now that I am retired, I have no conflicts of interest due to employment.  That is why Alan Dulaney is the best qualified candidate, and why you should vote for me, Alan Dulaney, on November 8.
