Mr. St. Germain has worked on numerous hydraulic analysis projects, hydrologic studies, design, construction, and repairs for watersheds in Minnesota. He is proficient with computer models such as ArcMap, Infowater (a GIS-based water distribution model), HEC-RAS and HEC-2 (water surface profile programs), HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph Package, and TR 20 hydrology programs. Mr. St. Germain has developed watershed models for several subwatersheds in Minnesota and North Dakota as part of basin flood control studies. He has also been the design engineer for many flood control channels and hydraulic structures including dams, grade stabilization, and water control facilities.
