Summary of Qualification and Expertise
MP Stormwater Engineering LLC was formed as a consulting firm specializing in
civil hydraulic engineering services. The firm’s focus is to provide surface water
management designs including stormwater, river mechanics, scour, backwater
analysis, and fish passage designs. MP Stormwater Engineering can also
perform hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, quality assurance reviews of
hydraulic reports, training and surface water design manual maintenance. The
owners of MP Stormwater Engineering LLC are Rocio Peralta and Glorilyn Maw
and have been providing these services since March 2008, but have had
previous years of experience working with the same services at the Washington
State Department of Transportation.
We offer innovative and economical design services, maintaining state-of-the-art
design technology. We meet client needs on projects of all sizes and smaller,
special design projects.
Services of Expertise

intermediate pier locations, and stream degradation. Identify scour critical
bridges and make recommendations for repairs or monitoring of these structures
during time of floods.
River Backwater Analysis: Perform HEC-RAS 1-D river backwater analysis for
river channels and bridge openings to establish water surface elevations and
serve as experts on various floodplain regulations.
River Mechanics: Perform energy analysis on rivers, design energy dissipation
structures, and perform analysis on scouring rivers. Bank erosion mitigation
typically includes the use of bio-engineering techniques to enhance fish passage
habitat. Follow the guidance in the Department of Fish and Wildlife, Integrated
Stream Protection Guideline manual.

Our firm uses QuickBooks and Excel to track invoice and budget projects to
monitor and keep projects on time and within budget. Interacting with clients is
important to make sure the objective and needs are being met. At each stage of
the design process, 30%, 60% and 90% documentation is submitted before the
final draft. This assures the intent and direction the objective is being met.
MP Stormwater Engineering Projects Performances
The Company has had the great opportunity to work with MGS Engineering Inc.
in assisting with the MGSFlood training courses for Pierce County and Seattle
Public Utilities and with Exeltech Consulting Inc. performing bridge hydraulic and

Porter Creek Rd Slough Bridge Replacement:
July 20, 2008 to March 20 2009
Grays Harbor County hired Exeltech Consulting Inc., to replace the existing
Porter Creek Road West Overflow Bridge that crosses a flood channel of the
Chehalis River with a new bridge. The existing 220 feet long bridge consists of a
multi-span structure supported on timber piling. The new bridge is planned as a
four-span structure, also 220 feet in length, with three central piers and
abutments supported on 24-inch steel pipe piles. MP Stormwater Engineering
was responsible for providing the Final Bridge Hydraulic Report that that included
results for: water surface elevations, scour depths and riprap recommendation for
the new proposed bridge crossing along the existing profile and proposed
alignment location. It also provided stormwater design guidance for the runoff
treatment and flow control based on the current applicable guidelines.
Consultant fees for this project were approximately $10,000.
