Mr. Fox is a water resource engineer with significant management and technical experience in NPDES/MS4 projects and designs for water quality improvements and TMDL reductions and other transportation and municipal projects. He designs and manages: drainage studies and design; storm sewer and culvert design; watershed and stream assessment; outfall retrofit, stream restoration and stabilization design; H&H modeling, bridge hydraulics and scour protection; floodplain studies and FEMA LOMR/LOMR coordination; ESD/LID/Water Quality BMP design; stormwater pond retrofits and SWM facility and storm drain outfall inspection, and BMP selection and pollutant load reduction calculations for NPDES/TMDL compliance.

Ginny Snead P.E.

Associate at A. Morton Thomas and Associates, Inc. (AMT), Williamsburg, VA
Ms. Snead is a water resources engineer with more than 25 years of consulting and state government experience, specializing in water planning, engineering and policy in Virginia and in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Her municipal experience includes stormwater master planning, BMP and retrofit design, inspection oversight, plan review and programmatic planning and reporting services. Her prior experience includes directing the Office of Stormwater at the Virginia DEQ and managing the Office of Regulatory Programs at the Virginia DCR which governed both the NPDES (MS4, Construction General Permit) for stormwater and the TMDL implementation plan programs, and which included the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Program, the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (and Virginia Stormwater BMP Clearinghouse), the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Program and Nutrient Management. Ms. Snead led the state team negotiating Virginia’s 2013 MS4 NPDES permits with U.S. EPA Region III which still serve as the basis for MS4 permits in the Commonwealth.
