McCormick Taylor, Inc.
Authored the Ellicott City hydrology and hydraulic study and concept mitigation analysis that underpins Howard County's Safe and Sound plan - arguably the most scrutinised piece of flood engineering in Maryland, entered into a US Senate oversight hearing record and subjected to a published third-party peer review by Preservation Maryland.

Our verification notes
Rare evidence quality: a federal hearing record plus an adversarial third-party peer review, both independent of the firm. The work is riverine hydrology and hydraulics rather than tidal Chesapeake dry floodproofing, so read it accordingly. No individual PE or CFM was verified in the sources we read, so none is published.
