Our verification notes

Listed as a regional hydrology and hydraulics resource rather than a building-level floodproofing signer. Their Bee Branch role is watershed and channel design, headquarters is in Madison Wisconsin, and the only verified Iowa office is Ames, which is central rather than eastern Iowa. No named PE or CFM was verified, so none is published.
