Services
Environmental Remediation
Specialized remediation of contaminated environments using advanced techniques like monitored natural recovery, activated carbon addition, and precision dredging. Our team addresses PCBs, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants in aquatic systems through comprehensive feasibility studies and pilot testing. We develop site-specific solutions that balance regulatory requirements with ecological restoration objectives while ensuring long-term environmental safety.
Coastal Resiliency
Comprehensive coastal engineering services addressing erosion control, storm surge protection, and sea level rise adaptation. Our expertise includes living shoreline design with segmented breakwaters, dune restoration, and habitat-integrated solutions that combine structural protection with ecosystem enhancement. We conduct hydrodynamic modeling and risk assessments to develop resilient infrastructure that protects coastal communities while maintaining environmental integrity.
Habitat Restoration
Full-spectrum habitat restoration planning and implementation for aquatic and terrestrial environments. Services include wetland delineation, stream channel reconstruction, and salmon habitat enhancement. We develop mitigation banking strategies and perform ecological monitoring to ensure successful reestablishment of natural processes. Our planners and biologists navigate regulatory frameworks to secure necessary approvals while creating functional, self-sustaining ecosystems that benefit both wildlife and human communities.
Sediment Management
Integrated sediment management solutions addressing contamination, dredging, and beneficial reuse. Our team performs fate and transport analysis, develops sediment remediation plans, and implements capping strategies. We combine geotechnical engineering with environmental forensics to determine contamination sources and design cost-effective treatment approaches. Services include confined aquatic disposal facility management and development of sediment quality criteria to support water body restoration.
Water Resources Planning
Strategic planning for sustainable water resource management including watershed assessments, stormwater solutions, and integrated water supply strategies. We develop GIS-based decision support systems and conduct water quality modeling to inform management decisions. Our team facilitates stakeholder engagement for complex projects like the Yakima River Basin Integrated Plan, balancing ecological needs with municipal and agricultural water demands through science-based, adaptive management frameworks.
