Matt Hubel, PE, CPSWQ, LEED AP BD+C, Featured in "Waste Not, Want Not Upgrades Demonstrate Ultimate in Sustainability" Article In Midlands Business Journal
Matt Hubel, PE, CPSWQ, LEED AP BD+C, was recently featured in a Midlands Business Journal article titled “Waste Not, Want Not Upgrades Demonstrate Ultimate in Sustainability.” In the article, Hubel discusses firms and professionals actively embodying the 2022 Engineers Week theme, Reimagining the Impossible. Hubel was also quoted on Schemmer's work with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission on stormwater management at a popular local park.
"The goals of this project are to provide a water-focused educational space within the park and eliminate soil erosion and sedimentation. The solution will be a system of stormwater management ponds incorporated into existing unutilized open spaces of the park, designed such that the ponds blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings," Matt said.
Matt went on to say how each of the projects Schemmer undertakes in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln are subject to stormwater management requirements. Not only are these requirements stipulated under the Clean Water Act, but they also benefit communities by reducing erosion and impacts to streams and rivers. Each project is unique because they are tailored to the clients' goals and budget.
When asked about the importance, Hubel noted, "Over the past few years, our communities have been a direct witness to the significant impact water from rainstorm events can have on our daily lives. Left unchecked, stormwater can damage our homes through flooding and pollute our lakes and rivers. The change in climate and weather that we have been experiencing are only going to increase the importance of controlling and treating stormwater."
Matt said one of Schemmer's core values is to "utilize sustainable design in all our work, regardless of the project requirements."
