Water and Environment
Water is basic to survival. We are committed to whole system solutions that benefit the communities in which we live by striking a balance between the built and natural environments.
DEA’s goal is to improve the quality of life while demonstrating stewardship of the built and natural environments. Our Water and Environment group supports this goal by specializing in natural resources management, water resources management, and water/wastewater infrastructure.
We apply advanced designs, planning, and analysis to habitat restoration and protection, environmental permitting and compliance, floodplain and hydraulic analysis, wetland delineation and mitigation, stormwater conveyance and water quality, pump stations, and water distribution and wastewater collection systems as well as a host of related service areas.
Clients expect insightful solutions for projects large and small, and our team of scientists, biologists, engineers, landscape architects, and GIS specialists deliver.

Featured Project
Bear Creek Rehabilitation. DEA provided stream restoration design and permitting to create a more naturally functioning system along Bear Creek in Redmond, Washington. Lower Bear Creek had been straightened and hardened by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1965, and was identified as a high priority for restoration because it is a critical migration route for diminishing wild salmon stocks from the Lake Washington system. DEA’s design featured fish passage channel restoration, streambank stabilization, wetland mitigation, and floodplain storage volume for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “zero rise” requirements and cultural resource preservation.
