Jason Rutyna

Jason Rutyna, PE, is an Environmental Engineer with over 22 years of professional experience in civil and environmental engineering. Jason provides clients with scientific and engineering analyses to help them make informed decisions to address environmental and water resource challenges. In his work, Jason develops and applies hydrodynamic and sediment transport models, hydraulic transient/pneumatic models, water quality models, wave models, groundwater models, mixing zone models, and Python code for preprocessing and postprocessing model-related inputs and outputs.

Jason has contributed to numerous combined sewer overflow (CSO) tunnel projects and applied LimnoTech’s SHAFT model to evaluate surges, transients, and pneumatic effects in large storage tunnel systems. He uses the open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software program OpenFOAM to evaluate urban street flooding issues related to a CSO tunnel. Jason has also applied the CSHORE, SWASH, and Xbeach wave models to several sites to assess proposed designs for extreme wave events. He uses HEC-RAS 2D extensively to evaluate an array of issues from dam break scenarios to riverine flooding. Jason has also been a member of several teams performing development and modernization of software.

In addition to his modeling work, Jason is an expert in developing client-deliverable databases with various data types such as water quality, biological, habitat, continuous monitoring, meteorological, and point source data. Jason also supports Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) modeling and analysis, water quality data analysis, and three-dimensional geostatistical interpolations.

Jason is a licensed professional engineer with a BS and MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Wayne State University, focusing on water resources and environmental engineering.

Jason works at LimnoTech’s Corporate Headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
