Nute Engineering is committed to protecting and enhancing wetlands and raising the profile of wetlands as a tool to improve water quality.

Nute Engineering is a regional leader in using wetlands as part of wastewater treatment. Our projects use treated effluent suitable for discharge to create wetlands that replace the freshwater wetlands that have been lost to development around the state. These wetlands provide habitat for migratory and resident birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and fish, and also make the effluent cleaner before it reaches creeks, sloughs, or shoals of the Bay. Our projects have also become important community assets for recreation, birdwatching and public education. Case Study

Our goal is to provide quality services that include:

• Design of levees, islands, dredging and water control structures
• Design of wastewater and drainage systems in and adjacent to wetlands
• Design of wetland systems for wastewater treatment or beneficial re-use of effluent
• Design of biotechnical stabilization projects and instream habitat enhancement
• Studies of water quality affecting wetlands and receiving waters
• Oversight of projects constructed in and near sensitive wetlands and streams
• Acquisition of Federal, State and local permits for work in and near wetlands and streams
• Maintaining good relationships with regulators that implement rules related to local wetlands and streams
