Kevin Wentland P.E. & S.E.
Project Engineer
Director of Engineering
Mr. Wentland, P.E. & S.E. is a senior engineer and construction executive offering more than 30 years of project success, through all phases from feasibility, planning, design, and construction. Project executive with a proven track record that uses the big-picture to develop the best path for delivering projects on time and under budget.
Developed plans for all infrastructure improvements and utilities for an over 23,000-acre master planned community. Scope included developing sustainable portable water supply, on-site wastewater treatment facilities with 100% water reuse, and use of on-site aggregates for roadway construction.
With honesty, impartiality, fairness, and equity working collaboratively with land use departments, regulatory agencies, and communities to develop sustainable engineered solutions for development that protects the public health, safety, and welfare of the communities and people who are the community.
In the case of Avimor, 23,000-acre MPC in the foothills above the Boise River valley community, was modeled after the landowner partner, whose family immigrated from Avimor. Scottland and with a motto of “Fresh Air Fresh Ideas”. Avimor was above the inversions that trapped people in the Boise River valley in their own air pollution, and it also wasn’t in the flood plain of the Boise River.
Created sustainable water use approaches at Avimor community which is a model that EPA and other U.S. government agencies continues to take other countries to visit. Irrigation using this non-portable reuse water is used to raise the water table in the stream highly erosion soils and associated drainage draw which were stabilized using vegetation. This promotes and sustains wildlife in the water and surrounding greenbelt areas.
Created a portable water source to service the Avimor community and to serve the north Boise Area which uses wintertime, non-irrigation season water from the Boise River to recharge the Avimor on-site Sandy Hill Aquifer (Aquifer Storage and Recovery – ASR). To meet water quality requirements of both EPA and IDEQ reuse water from on-site wastewater treatment plant used an ASR approach. This approach allowed for the treated reclaimed reuse water to be infiltrated into ASR system and recovered as non-potable irrigation water used for stream/drainage restoration and for public green space and residential lots.
Irrigation using this non-portable reuse water is used to raise the water table in the stream highly erosion soils and associated drainage draw which were stabilized using vegetation. This promotes and sustains wildlife in the surrounding greenbelt areas.
Mitch Singleton E.I.
Project Engineer
Mitch Singleton graduated from Brigham Young University – Idaho in 2022 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Civil Engineering.
Since starting with HLE, Inc. Mitch has worked on projects including site development design, structural design review of residential homes, and cut and fill analysis of roadways. Mitch has also aided in the materials testing of developments in the field as well as in the laboratory.
Recent Projects:
· Black Feather Apartments
Residential apartment development located in Idaho Falls with 3 apartment buildings with municipal sewer and water systems. Domestic water loop design with stubs for future development. Site also had stormwater storage requirements involving detention ponds and below ground storage.
· River Bend Manor (Under construction)
Townhomes located in Ammon, Idaho, with municipal sewer system design and private storm water system design with detention ponds. Site had existing water line already installed on site so design was needed to be completed without altering or modifying the existing water main routing.
