I have learned many useful things in my career as a land development consultant and environmental specialist.  I have been able to share this knowledge through my volunteer efforts with the FIX290 Coalition.  You can visit the official FIX290 website at FIX290.org. While my understanding of engineering and environmental science may not be the same as the beliefs of a few, mine analyses are presented here with appropriate references and backup. If you have any questions, please contact me at bmelton@earthlink.net
