We have extensive experience in helping a broad range of clients make decisions about their natural resources management issues. We can provide help right from the business planning stage of resource allocation through site visits, feasibility studies, report writing, design and constructed consultations, and last, but not least, help with facility operations.

Our staff has a combined 30 years of experience in the construction of natural wastewater treatment facilities and general aquatic environmental management projects throughout the United States and worldwide. We can offer a complete design/build option to expedite your project from programming and design onto construction completion and facility start-up. For facility operations options, see below.

The Todd Ecological Design staff has over 30 years experience with designing projects that deploy innovative natural wastewater treatment and general aquatic management schemes, while at the same time ensuring that projects are durable, hardy, and easily permittable. Our know-how and experience ensures that the field tested, state-of-the-art technology is used. This ensures that first costs are competitive or below the conventional technology cost. Operation costs are normally 75 per cent of the conventional costs, and permitting issues are more easily expedited.

• Natural, biologically diverse systems that are resistant to "shock loads" in the waste stream.
• Reduce costs related to wastewater surcharges, water purchases, sludge disposal, chemical treatment and storage costs.
• Capable of achieving tertiary treatment to meet stringent discharge requirements
• Cost less to operate than conventional systems when used to achieve a tertiary level of treatment.
• Modular and can be expanded to meet a growing business or community need.
• Custom designed by a team of professionals. Our professional engineers can design a system that meets the clients technical and aesthetic needs.
• Easy to operate and maintain. Care means the operator works with living and growing ecologies, not bags of chemicals.

• Allow their owners to minimize or eliminate environmental impact. Some of our sites have zero discharge. Treated wastewater can be used as irrigation.
• Are built using natural ecological engineering principles.
• Don't typically require chemicals that are harmful to the environment. This system uses a natural process not a chemical process. Chemicals may, however, be needed in extreme emergencies to deal with major upsets to the system.
• Are designed to conserve and recycle wastewater. By using effluent from the system we design for irrigation, toilet flushing, and other non-potable uses, companies and communities save potable water, money, and natural resources.

• Allow their owners and communities to embrace a natural model. They offer leaders and chance to enhance public awareness for sustainability and natural resource management.
• Are beautiful to be around, resembling a botanical garden. So natural wastewater treatment systems do not have to be ugly, go no have to smell and do not have to be hidden. Incorporate an abundant plant life that can be brought from the wastewater treatment system out into the community and schools.
