- streambank stabilization – Stabilizing streambanks to protect adjacent land and utilities while also providing environmental benefits.
- water quality protection – Protecting streams, rivers, wetlands and other natural systems from pollution from stormwater runoff and other urban sources using BMPs.
- riparian / buffer zones – Designing planting plans to establish and/or protect riparian areas consisting of species native to the area and for removal of invasive/non-native species.
- stream and wetland mitigation – Providing mitigation designs to accomplish compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts resulting from development activities from localities and private developers.
- construction oversight – Providing knowledgeable construction oversight during stream and wetland restoration projects.
- erosion & sediment control – Creation of erosion and sediment control plans specifically designed to protect stream restoration implementations and performing inspections to ensure the integrity of stream and wetland areas during restoration projects.
- stream and hydrologic determinations – Perform hydrologic determinations to classify a watercourse as either a stream or a wet weather conveyance.
