What We Do
Septic System Design
If a septic system is the best solution, we help clients establish required system capacity and configuration in a way that is dependable, effective and safe. Whether for a single-family home, large facility or a full subdivision, I have experience designing systems that satisfy the need and all regulatory requirements.
Wetland Delineation & Permitting
We help people identify sensitive wetlands, providing formal delineation and submission of multiple permits for impacts and mitigation. A list of potential permits includes USACE 404 Regional General Permit as well as an Individual Permit, 401 Water Quality Permit, and NPDES stormwater permit for construction activities. I also provide hydrologic and soil tests and analysis. Finally, once any construction is complete, I can provide any required stormwater monitoring to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act.
Pond & Stream Restoration
Whether it's pond water quality, stream bank stabilization, establishing detention basins or managing drainage issues, we can help create a plan that will help you with any water-related problems and make sure it is done in a manner that is fully compliant with any codes or regulations.
