Speakers

Russell Betteridge, CSM

Stormwater Expert

Mr. Betteidge’s career began as an engineering technician at Boeing, designing payload systems for 747 and 767’s, then with Boeing Computer Networks and their phone systems nationwide. He transitioned to environmental engineering in the early ’90s assisting engineers and scientists to clean up polluted groundwater and soils resulting from industrial and military activities as well as leaking underground storage tanks. Mr. Betteridge began public service in 2001 after seven years with civil engineers designing single-family, multifamily, and commercial developments including TESC plans. While at The City of Federal Way he supported the Public Works Division with stormwater inspections, erosion control inspections, and salmon restoration sampling efforts in support of illicit discharge detection and pollution responses. He has been continuously CESCL Certified since 2005 and an APWA certified stormwater manager for five years. He has developed training for city inspectors and regional information-sharing groups. Mr. Betteridge currently works at the City of Tukwila as the NPDES coordinator and manages the Lower Duwamish Source Control efforts to clean up the Superfund site called the Lower Duwamish Waterway.

Doug Beyerlein, PE, PH, D.WRE

Principal Engineer / Hydrology Expert with Clear Creek Solutions, Inc.

With over 50 years of expertise in water resources planning, flood studies, and stormwater modeling, Mr. Beyerlein co-founded Clear Creek Solutions after distinguished roles in the San Franciso Bay area and Snohomish County. As a senior hydrologic engineer, he played a key role in shaping Snohomish County’s surface water management program, excelling in watershed planning, monitoring, flood control, and compliance with water quality laws. A trailblazer in engineering, Mr. Beyerlein led the development of accurate tools for analyzing land development impacts on streams, earning his firm contracts for stormwater software in California, Oregon, and Washington. Having taught stormwater modeling to over 2000 professionals, he conducts workshops on HSPF theory and application. Licensed as a professional engineer in Washington and California, certified as a professional hydrologist, and a member of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers, Mr. Beyerlein serves clients like the U.S. EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers.
