Managing Water Quality & Community Flooding
EOR’s team of water resources engineers, environmental planners, ecologists, and communication professionals collaborate with our clients, stakeholders, and the governing agencies in addressing the regulatory landscape to create well-targeted, performance-based plans that are customized for their unique needs. Our planning team has extensive experience in facilitating and leading large groups including technical and public advisory committees, as well as large collaborative teams of professional partners. Our Plans are varied (see planning typologies listed below) yet they all incorporate the latest research, data, and advanced practices within the field, as well as incorporate and recognize the socio-specific needs and context of its community and stakeholders.
