I am a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Specialist and Qualified Stormwater Prevention Plan Developer and Practitioner certified by the California Stormwater Quality Association. Currently, I was appointed to the Wetlands and Creeks Committee for the City of Arcata for a second term. In 2010, Mr. Kraemer solidified his erosion control and prevention skillset as a professional that includes professional certifications, experience, and responsibilities that includes Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) preparation and implementation as a Qualified SWPPP Developer/ Practioner and Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control. Additionally, Mr. Kraemer has developed and implemented storm water pollution prevention response measures during complex clean up and abatement orders, including a solid waste municipal landfill, large-scale estuarine and geomorphic restoration projects, and for various private landowners. I have extensive professional experience in surface water hydrology, erosion assessment, erosion inventories, erosion prevention planning, and road- and trail-related erosion control and prevention. My work experience has emphasized applied hydrology and field sampling, and I am skilled in a variety of sampling strategies and techniques for hydrologic variables, physical stream parameters, and biological conditions.I have been a project manager at Pacific Watershed Associates Inc. since 2000, and am responsible for all stages of complex erosion control and watershed restoration projects to include proposal writing, budget preparation, permitting, field work participation and supervision (for data collection and mapping), landowner coordination, data analysis, GIS map preparation and reporting, and heavy equipment and labor oversight for erosion prevention and erosion control. I have spoken at conferences, lead field trips, and assisted in workshops on regional restoration strategies and implementation of best management practices.Specialties: Surface water hydrology, erosion assessment, erosion inventories, erosion prevention planning and road- and trail-related erosion control prevention.My professional experience further includes watershed sediment source assessment; road system evaluation and erosion remediation; measurement and quantification of past and potential sediment sources; development of erosion control and erosion prevention prescriptions; stream channel erosion assessments and surveying; and landslide mapping.
