Environment solutions
Science for environmental decisions that last
Assessment, remediation, and resilience planning grounded in real conditions.
In Practice
Protecting human health and the environment
Environmental conditions affect water, infrastructure, land use, and the communities around them. Understanding those connections is essential to determining what can be protected, restored, or improved.
The work also happens within regulatory requirements and funding realities. A technically sound solution still has to be practical to implement and capable of performing over time.
Drummond Carpenter brings environmental science and engineering together to understand site conditions, reduce uncertainty, and develop solutions grounded in how these systems actually function.
Areas of Expertise
From assessment through implementation
We support projects across the full lifecycle:
Environmental site assessment
Contaminant investigation and characterization, including PFAS
Remediation planning and design
Wetlands and protected species stewardship
Ecological restoration
Regulatory compliance support
Risk evaluation
Resilience and adaptation planning
Measuring wetland health to guide long-term regional planning
Assessing wetland conditions across Orange County to guide land-use decisions, environmental protections, and long-term growth planning.
Protecting high-value watersheds under growth pressure
Analyzing watershed conditions to guide future protections for sensitive areas within the Shingle Creek and St. Johns River basins.
Prioritizing investment across 80+ urban lakes
Building a data-driven framework to prioritize long-term environmental investment across a citywide lake system.
Aligning solutions
Environmental and infrastructure decisions often share the same ground
A restoration project can affect stormwater performance. Infrastructure improvements can create new environmental considerations. Watershed decisions can shape both.
We look across those connections early, so environmental goals and infrastructure needs can be addressed together rather than solved separately.
This integrated approach helps ensure that environmental goals support — rather than conflict with — long-term system performance.
Our Process
How we approach environmental work
Science-based decisions
Field investigations, environmental sampling, modeling, and analysis guide recommendations grounded in real conditions.
Regulatory fluency
We work within federal, state, regional, and local frameworks to develop solutions that are both compliant and practical to implement.
Community engagement
Environmental projects often carry public visibility and stakeholder interest. We support clear communication and alignment to help projects move forward.
Built for implementation
Recommendations are shaped by constructability, funding realities, and long-term maintenance — not just technical feasibility.
