Water quality remains a top priority with federal, state, and local agencies. As agencies attempt to reduce loading to streams, it is important to know what impact your facility may be having on the receiving stream. AquAeTer's technical experts, such as Michael Corn, are known for their expertise from over 30 years of experience in water quality assessments.
AquAeTer can provide a full range of services to meet your water quality needs including independent review of models, optimizing discharge through more efficient diffusers, conducting water quality monitoring, and developing a TMDL model for submittal to the agencies.
