About Jaime Sayre

I am a civil engineer who specializes in water quality, permitting, and planning. My experience encompasses over 16 years of research in TMDLs and water quality projects, including the technical development of multiple TMDL special studies and stormwater projects in LA. I led the Lower LA River Revitalization Plan, a community-based revitalization plan for the 19-miles of the Los Angeles River, from Vernon to Long Beach. I then led the Upper Los Angeles River and Tributaries Plan – a similar visionary planning document focused on the upper LA River and its tributaries. I have managed complex projects within Southern California with high political and environmental stakes, and is an expert facilitator of communication among clients, subcontractors, and personnel; and regulatory compliance issues.
