The issues of water supply, water quality, and watershed management are becoming increasingly intertwined as communities face mounting difficulties securing future water resource needs. E & E's integrated project teams seek innovative, sustainable solutions that consider the totality of water resources planning and the institutional policies that affect their success. We look at drinking water, wastewater, flood control, and watershed protection not as separate parts but as a single system.
Port Investment and Planning Study, New York and New Jersey
Supported port management entities by evaluating all identified development alternatives with regard to biological and wetland issues.

Developed an award-winning water quality protection program for marinas, which provides guidance to the owners/operators of shore- and water-based recreational facilities to achieve compliance with existing federal and local requirements and even to “go beyond” compliance by adopting recommended best management practices. Received the American Planning Association’s 2001 Planning Award in the category of Outstanding Federal Planning Program.
