Sediment and Erosion Control

In 2018, we developed an online Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) Sediment & Erosion Control Plan (SECP) Grower Self-Certification Training to teach landowners how to reduce erosion and prevent agricultural runoff from impairing surface and groundwater.

Wineries and Vineyards

We provide advice on water resource management and environmental compliance to our winery and vineyard clients. Our expertise includes stormwater management and all phases of pond use from permitting and design to maintenance and operation.
We use a wide variety of models, tools, and data resources to deliver high quality products that incorporate the best available science and conform to industry standards. Click here to learn more about these utilities.
