Four Peaks Environmental Science & Data Solutions

What Four Peaks Environmental Science & Data Solutions does

Four Peaks Environmental Science & Data Solutions is a Wenatchee, Washington-based environmental science and engineering consulting firm founded in 2017 that provides scientific and data services to government agencies, public utility districts, tribal entities, and private companies across the United States. The firm specializes in fisheries science, water resources engineering, watershed and habitat science, regulatory compliance, and environmental data management, with particular depth in Pacific Northwest aquatic ecosystems and the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). Its client roster includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (adult fish counting program at FCRPS hydroelectric facilities), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Fish Hatchery System, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Chelan PUD, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, and other utility districts and conservation entities.

The firm's core technology stack centers on three proprietary assets: (1) BlueFish — an edge-computing camera system with custom machine-learning computer vision software that automates fish enumeration at fishways and delivers data over the internet, (2) the River Data Management System — a cloud-based platform providing automated quality control, telemetry pipelines, and reporting for fisheries data with historical migration of nearly 60 years of records, and (3) the Adult Fish Counting System — electronic count data collection with near-real-time cloud-based aggregation, hourly reporting, and a double-blind quality control process. These technology products are complemented by five service lines covering fisheries (telemetry, imaging sonar, acoustic Doppler), regulatory compliance (Clean Water Act, ESA, NEPA, FERC), water resources management (modeling, NPDES permitting, contaminated sediments), watershed and habitat science (GIS, restoration effectiveness), and data solutions (database architecture, web-based data portals). The firm operates six U.S. offices in Wenatchee, Seattle, North Bonneville, Hood River, Chicago, and Amherst.

Four Peaks operates as a project-based professional services firm generating revenue through environmental consulting and engineering contracts with institutional clients, with services typically structured as long-term agreements for complex regulatory compliance and monitoring engagements. The firm was acquired by Spheros Environmental on August 5, 2025 as Spheros' seventh acquisition; following the acquisition, the firm's website redirects to Spheros and notes that the Four Peaks site is no longer maintained. No public pricing, revenue, funding, or pre-acquisition ownership details are disclosed in available source material.

Direct peers

• Kleinschmidt Associates: Engineering and environmental consulting firm specializing in hydropower, fish passage, and aquatic resource studies. Closely comparable to Four Peaks given its focus on FERC licensing support, fish passage evaluations, and acoustic/PIT telemetry work for utility clients across North America.
• R2 Resource Consultants: PNW-based environmental and fisheries consulting firm providing fish-passage, hydro, and habitat services to utilities and agencies. Direct comparable to Four Peaks' core FCRPS, salmonid, and hydroelectric compliance work in the Pacific Northwest.
• Anchor QEA: Environmental and water-resources engineering consultancy with strong PNW presence, serving ports, hydropower, and government clients. Comparable to Four Peaks in its combination of environmental permitting, water resources modeling, and sediment/contaminated site work.
• Natural Resource Consultants: Fisheries and aquatic ecology consultancy providing fish enumeration, hydro facility monitoring, and regulatory compliance support. Highly comparable niche peer focused on Pacific Northwest hydro and salmonid work similar to Four Peaks' BlueFish and adult fish counting offerings.

Regional players

• Parametrix: Pacific Northwest-headquartered engineering and environmental sciences firm serving municipal, state, tribal, and federal clients. Comparable to Four Peaks on water resources, fisheries, and watershed restoration work, but with a broader civil engineering portfolio.
• Aspect Consulting: PNW-based earth and water resources consultancy providing hydrogeology, water resources, and environmental services. Comparable to Four Peaks on water resources engineering and contaminated site work, but with less emphasis on fisheries and aquatic ecology.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with a large water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure practice. Overlaps with Four Peaks across hydropower licensing, fisheries, water quality, and environmental data services, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• ICF International: Major advisory and digital services firm with an established environmental and energy practice supporting federal agencies (EPA, FERC, USACE). Comparable to Four Peaks on regulatory-driven environmental and water-resources work, though it operates as a much larger generalist.
• Environmental Resources Management (ERM): World's largest pure-play environmental, health, safety, and sustainability consultancy. Comparable to Four Peaks in serving energy and utility clients on environmental compliance, permitting, and impact assessment, but with a global, multi-industry footprint.

Emerging players

• Blue Leaf Environmental: Smaller environmental consultancy focused on aquatic resources, water quality, and habitat restoration. Comparable to Four Peaks on the fisheries and water-quality service mix, though at a smaller scale and narrower geographic footprint.
