Planning and engineering for cities. Experience and creativity. Economy, equity, environment. Add to that: efficiency and effectiveness.

I help local government comply with state and Federal water-quality regulations.

“In the past, scientists and engineers tried to keep environmental science and environmental politics separate. Today, our job is to share our scientific savvy with watershed stakeholders and work together toward the collective political savvy we need to achieve consensus solutions.”

“To design a program to control stormwater pollution, start by diagramming the chain of cause and effect. Identify the links in the chain where it may be possible to reduce pollutants. On either side of each link, identify the outputs and outcomes you expect to achieve. Then establish practical indicators for each output or outcome.”

“There are really two big questions:

  1. What is the relationship of Man to Nature?
  2. How do we know what we know?

“Once we've got those solved, the rest of environmental monitoring design is easy.”
