Read Bio

As a geomorphologist, Mr. Ober has managed and designed 100+ miles of stream restoration projects, drawing from more than 15 years of experience in fluvial geomorphology, natural channel design, construction management, and post-restoration monitoring. Mr. Ober has worked extensively with the Tennessee Department of Transportation to grow a natural channel design program, as well as developing 8 miles of in-lieu fee projects in Tennessee. He has also managed and designed the largest stream mitigation bank in West Virginia developed by Ecosystem Investment Partners, and designed a 16.5 mile fishery enhancement of the Little Coal River for the West Virginia Conservation Agency. Due to the success of these and other projects, Mr. Ober has been asked to present at a number of regional and national conferences and workshops. Mr. Ober continues to provide ecosystem restoration services in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Mid-Western United States.

Mr. Stewart is a hydraulic engineer who has worked to resolve issues relating to quantity, quality, and distribution of water and its constituents. He as an emphasis on hydraulics and sediment transport processes in open channel flows. Mr. Stewart's specific expertise in water resources can be summarized to include hydrology, hydraulics, sediment transport, and channel restoration design. Mr. Stewart has created hydraulic and sediment transport models to develop innovative solutions constrained by site-specific constraints to meet project goals. Mr. Stewart's work history includes development and modification of civil designs using hydraulic modeling, proposal writing for funding from state and federal agencies, collection of topographic surveys, geomorphic assessment of streams, and writing project reports.
