Sr. Project Manager
EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE
Mr. Kottlowski has over 34 years of experience in hydrology and hydraulics and is currently Project Manager for planning, design and construction of dams and levees, stormwater collection and treatment systems, stream and lake enhancement, environmental, and other water resource type projects. Recent work has included the design and evaluation of several dams and levees, watershed planning, green infrastructure designs, and trail/transportation projects for cities, towns, conservancy districts and counties throughout Indiana using various funding programs.
Prior to joining Commonwealth Engineers, Inc. in 1992 he was responsible for planning and design of public and private engineering projects. This included designs for major urban utility redevelopment areas, large diameter storm sewers and tunnels, and an urban canal redevelopment project known as the Lower Canal in Indianapolis. He was also responsible for transportation-related projects including the design of local and state highway and interstate projects.
RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Speedway Sewer Separation Project – Speedway, IN. The project installedapproximately 21,800 feet of 12 inch through 66 inch diameter storm sewers and nearly25,000 feet of pervious concrete pavement gutters and aesthetic permeable interlockingconcrete gutter areas at intersection radii. In addition the project included the nearly 4 milesof “green” infrastructure that consisted of the placement of bio-swales and bio-retentionareas, the use of BMP Systems and a unique permeable curb and gutter design using bothpermeable concrete pavement and brick pavers at each intersection.
Dam Replacement & Lake Shore Reconstruction - Avon, IN. The project consisted ofreconstructing the Town’s failing dam and making it durable enough to be overtopped andaccessible for the public and park maintenance. Viewing decks were added to createunique public vistas overlooking the colorful lake as well as the constructed walking trail.The lake was also deepened and its perimeter enhanced with a flowering native plantbuffer. This combines both hard structure with a softer, biotechnical design and creates asafe and aesthetically pleasing park for Avon.
Huntingburg WWTP Levee Project - Huntingburg, IN. This project consisted of adetailed H/H evaluation of the channel located along the south side of the WWTP to a halfmile downstream to critical backwater flooding from Bruner Creek and subsequently to thePatoka River. The design called for the construction of a 6 ft. high combination 950 ft. ofreinforced concrete floodwall and 1,500 ft. of earthen berms around the WWTP.
Eagle Creek Shoreline Stabilization Project - Indianapolis, IN. Constructioninspection services were provided for the reconstruction of 1,500 feet of the Eagle Creekshoreline. To stabilize this segment, about 665 ft. x 15 ft. (10,000 SF) of reinforced soil wallwas installed, and landscaping was placed for erosion control and aesthetics.

BELVEDERE STREET STORM SEWER SEPARATION
ANDERSON, INDIANA
The project consisted of a design to separate storm and sanitary sewers in an existing 56 acre residential neighborhood in Anderson, IN. The project also included a hydrologic and hydraulic design of a new outlet for the project. Considerations had to be made to see if discharging into an existing pond would be technically feasible.
But, flows discharged directly into the pond could have an adverse impact on the available freeboard for local businesses surrounding the pond. The real problem stems from the fact that existing buildings were constructed too close to the normal pool elevation of the pond. This resulted in minimal freeboard being provided. Flood routing calculations showed that bypassing the pond and directly discharging into an adjacent stream was more appropriate. This project consisted of the design, construction and inspection of approximately 11,000 lineal feet of 12 inch through 48 inch storm sewer and 70 structures.

LEHMAN POND STORMWATER DETENTION
BERNE, INDIANA
Through past administrations, the City had approved an old stormwater detention pond for a development that was being inundated. About 4 square miles of upstream watershed was stopping up an outlet and half of the city was flowing in a 36-inch storm sewer barreling down on the pond.
Commonwealth elected to create a more aesthetic pond further upstream without eliminating the previous one. The plan intercepted the 36-inch flows and re-routed them to a new detention pond above the old one. A 10-ft native planting area was also installed in the basin to help promote stormwater treatment (and help keep the geese away). The owners of the existing detention basin wanted to use riprap to take care of a serious erosion around that basin, but our plan suggested a more “greener” approach using dimensional geotextiles at a cost savings of nearly 400%. The end result: the city now has a beautiful park with walking trail and the developer now has an aesthetic pond that is much more saleable.

STOCKWELL DRIVE & COLONY ROAD INTERSECTION
& DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
The work on these projects consisted of a drainage study to determine the basic improvements needed to mitigate flooding within two developed neighborhoods. The flooding was resulting in property damage that included flooding of basements and streets. As a result of the installation of new drainage conduits, two roadway intersections needed to be removed and rebuilt. The widen the radii of the intersections along with providing handicapped accessibility for the sidewalks was incorporated into the project. This design modification was added to the project after discussion with the City’s staff because of the large benefit added at a low additional cost. The final drainage design included open channel improvements, drainage conduit upgrades, new drainage inlet structures, other ancillary drainage components, sidewalk upgrades and intersection improvements to this portion of the City of Evansville’s existing drainage system. The City provided construction engineering and inspection for the project.

This project is part of the Long Tern Control Plan CSO Control Measure #6 to complete partial sewer separation projects that are cost effective for Subbasins tributary to the Parallel Interceptor (PI). Ewing Street East-West Storm Sewer Extensions (Phase I North of Wayne Street) will occur on Pearl Street, W. Main Street, E. Berry Street, Van Buren Street, Fulton Street, Fairfield Avenue, Webster Street, Maiden Lane and S. Harrison Street.
The new storm sewers will pick up inlets/catch basins and parking lots that are currently connected to the combined system. Green infrastructure will be incorporated into the project to meet water quality for the newly separated storm water. In addition, a 12-inch water main shall be designed along Pearl Street from Ewing Street to Webster Street. Reconnection of sewer services and relocation of sewer lines are included as part of this project. Being located in the downtown area of Fort Wayne, significant utility coordination is involved, along with selecting a sewer alignment that minimizes impact to utilities.

FLOODWATER LEVEE PROJECT
HUNTINGBURG, INDIANA
The inundation of its wastewater treatment plant in 1996 jeopardized Huntingburg’s ability to keep floodwaters out of its main pumping facility and wastewater lagoons. To address this issue, a comprehensive design was completed consisting of a detailed H/H evaluation of the channel located along the south side of the plant to a half mile downstream to critical backwater flooding from Bruner Creek and subsequently to the Patoka River. HEC-HMS and HEC RAS models were performed to assess floodway boundaries and to meet permitting needs. The design called for the construction of a 6 ft. high combination 950 ft. of reinforced concrete floodwall and 1,500 ft. of earthen berms around the WWPT. The concrete walls were cast integrally with 24-inch diameter auger cast concrete piles.

21ST
STREET / BOLTON & 22ND
STREET/ DEQUINCY
DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
As a part of the RebuildIndy Initiative to transform the City of Indianapolis through infrastructure improvements projects, this project addresses drainage and flooding issues in two neighborhoods located on the eastside of Indianapolis. Currently, the 21st Street /Bolton area is experiencing a combination of problems including unmanageable ditches, standing water and cracking driveways. Standing water caused dangerous driving conditions for the residents in the area, as well as potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The 22nd Street/Dequincy area was experiencing drainage problems as well, due to the lack of an extensive stormwater drainage system.
To relieve these neighborhood flooding problems, the 21st Street /Bolton area consists fo the construction of a new stormwater system utilizing both a traditional storm sewer and green infrastructure. The new green infrastructure, includes a bioswale system installed within the existing right-of-way along 21st Street. In addressing the flooding problems in the 22nd Street / Dequincy area, this project will also include installing a new traditional stormwater system leading to the existing green infrastructure in the Pogues Run Art and Nature Park.

SEWER SEPARATION - STORMWATER
SPEEDWAY, INDIANA
The Town of Speedway has implemented aggressive solutions to stormwater management and has taken the Green Flag in its race to solve drainage issues as well as being on the final stretch of significantly reducing combined sewer overflows. By Green we mean implementing green and sustainable solutions to manage storm water.
As part of the Town’s CSO Long Term Control Plan and the ongoing Stormwater Master Planning, Commonwealth has designed and oversaw the construction of watershed components to reduce runoff and improve water quality while also beautifying Speedway’s historical sections. The new environs will fit into Speedway’s developing cultural and commerce initiative, The Speed Zone. Speedway’s Green Flag approach included several sustainable components to control storms of around 1 inch such as:
1. Use of rain gardens
2. Construction of Bio-swales
3. Use of pervious concrete gutters
4. Inclusions of permeable brick pavers along intersections
5. End of pipe treatment with vortex hydro separators for improvement ofwater quality
An integral part of the overall project approach was a GIS mapping system for all utilities managed by the Town.
