Monitoring

Decota performs a variety of important ecological studies following approved protocols. In addition to water quality monitoring and treatment, Decota completes assessments and surveys related to plants, benthic macroinvertebrates, fish, and crayfish. Habitat assessments utilized by our staff include the EPA Rapid Bioassessment Protocol (RBP) and Hydrogeomorphic assessments (HGM). To determine bank stability, we routinely use the Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) and Pfankuch surveys.

Decota is DBE certified with the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways (WVDOH) for Environmental Consulting Services within NAICS code 541620. We are also prequalified with WVDOH for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
