EARLY STAGE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Kleinfelder’s approach to successful planning begins with thoroughly understanding our client’s situation, and collaboratively developing customized solutions that meet our client’s needs.	Water Resource Management Plans Integrated water resource management/planning/design and construction, to achieve community economic development objectives.	Wastewater Management Plans Collection system and treatment requirements, assess community’s needs and achieve regulatory compliance, prepare capital improvement plans.	Water System Master Plans Assess community’s needs for water supply, distribution, storage and treatment facilities, prepare capital improvement plans.	Long Term Control Plans Mitigate combined sewer overflows, through sewer separation, storage and treatment technologies, and green infrastructures, prepare capital improvement plans.	Infiltration/Inflow Studies Identify and mitigate extraneous sources of I/I into sewer systems employing flow gaging, CCTV, smoke testing, and private source investigation.
