Water resources/supply and dewatering are two sides of the same coin. At SNYDER GEOLOGIC, we have experience in providing all levels of analysis and investigation from preliminary studies prior to developing a parcel, to engaging in a project that will likely require dewatering.

For water resources projects, we can access information about the regional hydrogeology and climatic conditions of a site to establish an approximate hydrologic budget without even stepping foot in the field, saving you time and money before proceeding with a more involved field program. If the project progresses to the next stage, we will meet with you to discuss the goals and possible outcomes of conducting a field investigation and testing program. Finally, we will develop and implement a field-testing program that will allow you to understand the available water resources for short and long term planning.

For dewatering projects, we will meet with you and your contractor to determine the potential need for dewatering, possible alternatives to dewatering, and the available approaches to dewatering to minimize schedule and cost impacts. Whether it is dewatering a large project over an extended period of time, a small project footprint, or dealing with contaminated water, we can help provide solutions that minimize the impact to your project. There are advantages and drawbacks to discharging to the sanitary sewer versus the storm sewer. Let us help you find the best alternative for your particular need.

If you are a planning firm or project proponent that needs to meet the requirements of CEQA or NEPA, we can provide the studies and reports needed to satisfy the requirements.
