Solutions
Clear Water solutions reuse wood waste and maximize conservation outcomes to make financial and operational sense. We do this through three (3) core practice areas
Wood Waste Management
Reusing wood waste has many benefits
No disposal fees. No GHG emissions from wood decay and burning. Process it into biochar to capture carbon. Use it in conservation projects.
Getting there can be challenging
It’s a complex process with technical, operations, and financial considerations and multiple stakeholders to manage.
Clear Water delivers full cycle wood waste operations
Services Include:
- Operational assessments & feasibility studies
- Solution design & execution
- Financial modeling & budgeting
- Project & Operations management
- Stakeholder engagement (internal/external)

Water Quality Management
Stormwater and agricultural runoff pollute surface and groundwater
Impaired waters and pollution causes are commonly known. Fixing the problem requires a multi-faceted approach combining science-backed solutions, coordination with affected parties, and financial planning.
Clear Water turns water quality plans into impressive conservation results
We design and deploy natural, carbon-based solutions removing pollutants
(nitrate, phosphorous, metals, fecal coliform, etc.) in stormwater, agricultural runoff, and impaired waters.
Services include:
- Site Assessments & nutrient management plans
- Solution design & deployment
- Project management
- Testing, monitoring, & servicing
- Grant & funding acquisition
Runoff Solutions
Serviceable bioreactors and filters
Replenish carbon for consistent, high performance
Constructed wetlands
deployed standalone and with a bioreactor
Impaired Water Solutions
Containerized carbon in pond Monitoring/carbon replacement
Biochar with compost or sand
With or without carbon injectors
Biochar Production and Use
Biochar can be a powerful conservation asset
It captures carbon, enhances soil, and removes water pollutants.
It’s a highly concentrated, stable form of carbon produced by charring
Biomass (usually wood waste) in a controlled process called pyrolysis.
It can be produced in a simple kiln or using more complex technologies.
Biochar quality and successful use varies
There are a lot of technical, operational, and financial considerations.
Clear Water knows biochar
Making it, using it, realizing financial/sustainability benefits.
We help with all aspects of decision making, planning, and execution.
Services Include:
- Operational assessments / feasibility studies
- Solution evaluations / pilot projects
- Business/financial modeling and budgeting
- Project and Operations management
- Stakeholder engagement / Grants and funding acquisition
