Sean Noble Project Scientist
Mr. Sean Noble has more than 5 years of experience supporting multiple water quality, stormwater, and sediment coring projects. He has performed stormwater and dry-weather sampling in various environments, such as estuaries, streams, and channels, and within structural best management practices (BMPs), such as permeable pavement, bioretention areas, and media filters. He is also responsible for database management, the development of programming tools, statistical analyses, hardware troubleshooting and calibration, automated sampler development and programming, GIS work, environmental modeling, and document preparation.

Mr. Sean Noble has more than 5 years of experience supporting multiple water quality, stormwater, and sediment coring projects. He has performed stormwater and dry-weather sampling in various environments, such as estuaries, streams, and channels, and within structural best management practices (BMPs), such as permeable pavement, bioretention areas, and media filters. He is also responsible for database management, the development of programming tools, statistical analyses, hardware troubleshooting and calibration, automated sampler development and programming, GIS work, environmental modeling, and document preparation. Mr. Noble provides a key support role in the coordinated integrated monitoring programs (CIMPs) for several watersheds in Los Angeles County, which are monitored according to the NPDES municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regional stormwater discharge permit (issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board), where he developed tools to automate data interpretation and QA/QC evaluations. He is also responsible for hydrologic analysis, modeling, and project support for the low-impact development program for the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region. Mr. Noble also provides key field support for the Calleguas Creek Watershed Management Group in Ventura County and the Central Coast Environmental Assessment Network.
Mr. Noble worked for 4 years as a water resources technician for the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, where he managed sustainability efforts for the Salinas River watershed and two reservoirs that serve more than 200,000 residents. He designed and implemented plans to utilize water resources in Monterey County effectively and minimize negative impacts on communities that depend on that service while also creating strategic plans for a sustainable future. He also developed science-based remote sensing tools using large data sets to assess the past and present hydrologic status of the Salinas Valley while overseeing the flood alert network and program management.
