Richard Zaragoza P.E
Dr. James C. Young Ph.D., P.E.
Dr. Young has 38 years of academic and consulting experience in evaluating and designing municipal water and wastewater treatment and industrial wastewater treatment plants worldwide. He has developed a number of new approaches in evaluating the ability to treat very complex industrial wastewater problems. Dr. Young has performed research for evaluating the factors affecting the designs, operations, and performance of water and wastewater treatment systems while at the three major U.S. Universities: University of Arkansas, Penn State University, and Iowa State University. He has also evaluated the performance of several treatment plants in Latin American, Mexico, South Korea, and Netherlands. Dr. Young evaluated the operational and performance problems of a large regional anaerobic treatment system that received combined domestic/industrial wastewater from a number of communities and industries in Orizaba, Mexico. In Uruguay and Buenos Aires, Argentina, he promoted anaerobic treatment and aerobic/respirometry, which involved evaluation of suitable anaerobic technologies to treat wastewater from a number of industries in SA including those from soft drink bottling. He is currently a consultant and part-time Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Arkansas. He has received a number of awards for his contributions to the design and evaluation of wastewater treatment practices, has published over 150 articles relating to anaerobic treatment and also holds seven patents.r.

Dr. Dennis R. Kasper PhD., P.E.
Dr. Kasper has over 36 year of professional experience in the management, planning, engineering, regulatory compliance and alternative project delivery of water, wastewater, recycled water and industrial wastewater treatment facilities. In addition he has extensive expertise in membrane system, such as reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, ultrafiltration, and micro-filtration in treating groundwater, surface water, wastewater and seawater. Dr. Kasper has served as the Project Manager for preparation of procurement documents and construction engineering for a variety of project delivery vehicles including design-build, design-build-own-operate, and conventional design-bid-build. Recently, he successfully managed the reinvention of two major wastewater treatment plants with capacities each in excess of 200 MGD for the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) while employed as a Vice President/Project Manager with Parsons Corporation. The reinvention was the upgrading of all plant processes to state-of-the-art and was characterized by minmization of the O&M costs, increased reliability and full regulatory compliance. Also, Dr. Kasper has been the Technical Director/Project Manager on several other major projects such as:
•Prepared the PAG 208 Plan for the Pima Association of Governments addressing wastewater treatment at six satellite plants surrounding the City of Tucson, AZ;
•Performed design reviews and process selection for the disinfection system renovation at the 600 MGD Alfred Merritt Smith and 300 MGD River Mountains Water treatment facilities for Southern Nevada Water Authority;
•Served as Technical Director for design of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Dimmer Water Treatment Plant Wash Water Reclamation system;
•Served as Technical Advisor and Manager for evaluating treatment plant upgrades and Design-Build Procurement Documents for the San Francisco Water System Improvements Program;
•Implemented several other projects both internationally and nationally.
