ECO:LOGIC helps agencies make the transition from traditional quantity-based methods and modeling to a modern, comprehensive approach to storm water studies. ECO:LOGIC engineers develop cost-effective plans to protect surface water resources through more innovative flood control solutions.

ECO:LOGIC evaluates the ability of selected treatment technologies to remove pollutants associated with storm water runoff down to numeric discharge limits. Various “non-mechanized” sedimentation and filtration (various media) systems, with and without chemical addition, are tested at the Lake Tahoe stormwater research laboratory operated by ECO:LOGIC. Additionally, “mechanized” systems, including high-rate and conventional coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation processes followed by synthetic media and sand filters and ion exchange columns are investigated.
