builder, and/or engineer, your project may be in violation of a National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, if a sediment
discharge is occurring on your job site. Here at Huffman & Carpenter, we

Examples of Our Work
Best Management Practices (BMP's) at Tahoe
H&C was involved as a working member of the technical advisory committee
for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) that evaluates the
protection of stream environment zones which achieve water quality
criteria established for Lake Tahoe. This is accomplished through the
implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP). In addition, H&C
developed basin-wide stream environment zone classification system for
the TRPA that will be used as the basis for further restoration efforts.
Lahontan Project, Truckee,
California
Since 1992, H&C, Inc. has been
responsible for baseline water quality data collection and data analysis to
establish discharge standards for the proposed project. H&C, Inc. has also
been responsible for watershed analysis to determine secondary impacts to
wetlands due to the quality of water discharging into wetlands thereby
preserving wetland integrity. Additionally, the impacts from channelized urban
storm runoff and the resultant sedimentation, erosional deposition and nutrient
loading from waters discharging into the wetland have been evaluated. To
mitigate these secondary impacts H&C, Inc. designed a best management plan
to cover the 741 acre property.
