Williams Creek has a strong tradition of sustainable ecological engineered solutions utilizing natural systems to improve water quality, while providing the opportunity for true integration of the built and natural environment. Williams Creek utilizes sound engineering techniques such as Best Management Practices and Low Impact Development techniques to help improve quality of life by increasing the beauty and appeal of our natural surroundings.

Stormwater Management
Utilizing “natural” BMPs in a treatment train approach, such as bioretention followed by vegetative biological swales, allow for stormwater to be managed at its source increasing the time of concentration and providing for considerable upfront development cost savings. The increase in time of concentration aids not only in water quality improvement, but also water quantity control by creating extended flood control measures. Examples of additional design techniques include wetland treatment systems and rain gardens incorporated into the existing or planned landscape features, open space, and green space.

Wastewater Management
There are a wide variety of versatile Ecological Treatment Systems design applications available to meet a Client’s on-site wastewater treatment needs. Ecological Treatment Systems are engineered, designed and constructed to utilize the natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soils, and the associated microbial activity. The natural processes and adaptability of Ecological Treatment Systems provides for an aesthetically pleasing, financially responsible result with potential for educational purposes and is environmentally sound.

With a sustainable natural resource management focus, Williams Creek has in-depth knowledge of water quality issues and the regulatory management techniques to provide design and consultation assistance to minimize impacts to the existing natural resources. Additionally, Williams Creek had developed a proven track record for timely natural resource permit obtainment and successful long-term wetland, stream and floodplain mitigation. Specialties include natural resource assessments and fluvial classifications, regulatory negotiations, mitigation design, permit obtainment, implementation, monitoring preservation services, wetland and stream restoration and wildlife habitat naturalization.

Changes in land due to agricultural practices and urban and suburban development impact not only the activity site, but also the local watershed. Williams Creek recognizes watershed restoration and management as a community-based activity utilizing strong outreach and consensus building activities, in addition to objective data collection and analysis. Williams Creek relies on solid engineering solutions and people’s efforts to solve water quality and land use issues at the watershed level. Specialized services include funding assistance, erosion control and Best Management Practice inspection and monitoring services, Watershed Management Plan development and implementation, and Lake and River Enhancement services. Our talented Team sets Williams Creek apart by the ability to work with watershed stakeholders not just to identify issues and develop a Watershed Management Plan, but also provide ecologically engineered design solutions and guide the community in the implementation of the watershed improvement measures.
