   personal_statement: Over the last 20 years, Judy Horwatich aided local, state,
     and federal agencies determine the effects that rural and urban runoff has on
     the environment. Her early career concentrated on agricultural runoff to determine
     the effectiveness of best management practices on reducing sediment and nutrients
     to the streams. Her work now focuses measuring the quantity and quality of nonpoint
     source runoff in urban environments. Judy has assembled 30 years of local, state,
     and national urban runoff studies and incorporated them into the Source Loading
     and Management Model (SLAMM). She continues calibrate and verify this model
     concentrating on Wisconsin parameters. This effort allows Public and private
     engineers to use WinSLAMM to determine realistic pollution reduction credits
     for their area of concern. Her recent body of work includes evaluation of several
     proprietary and non-proprietary stormwater management practices that include
     hydrodynamic separators, stormwater filters, high-efficiency street cleaners,
     rain gardens, biofiltration cells and swales, grass swales, and filter strips.CURRENT
