Kerry Daily | Christopher B. Burke Engineering

A long-time Burke-er, Kerry Daily is the go-to guy for regulatory permitting and municipal plan review.

Kerry assists counties and municipalities in administering their stormwater management and floodplain development ordinances through review services performed for the local entities and through updates to ordinances and standards.

Kerry also evaluates project impacts to verify compliance with Sections 401 and 404 of the federal Clean Water Act, the state Flood Control Act, and state Rule 5 guidelines for construction and post-construction stormwater quality for public and private projects.

Additionally, Kerry prepares National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents for local and state transportation projects and other projects seeking federal funding. When he isn’t taking the regulatory world by storm, Kerry is cheering on his beloved Cubs in the hopes that they take another World Series title in the next century.
