EECI

What EECI does

EECI (Envirotech Environmental Consulting, Inc.) is a privately held environmental consulting and field services firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in Lewes, Delaware, serving clients throughout the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). The company operates through three offices (Lewes HQ, Milton Indoor Air Quality Division, Dover operations support) and delivers a portfolio of six core service lines: aeration fountains and water quality management, stormwater management, natural resource management, professional services (including Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments, wetland delineations, and regulatory permitting), erosion and sediment control (using Filtrexx certified-installer products), and pond and lake maintenance. It also offers indoor air quality testing and an education/outreach program.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built around Green Technology Best Management Practices (GTBMP): as a certified Filtrexx installer, EECI deploys patented FilterSoxx and FilterCell systems for erosion and sediment control, supplemented by an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) program for invasive species treatment. Field operations are backed by regulatory credentials (Certified Construction Reviewer status under Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations, Aquatic Pesticide Applicator licensing, Wetland Delineation certification) and compliance standing with DNREC, EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, and USDA. The company also resells aeration equipment from AquaMaster, Otterbine, and Kasco brands.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees (project-based consulting, due diligence, restoration construction), hardware sales and installation of aeration systems, and recurring maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based with no published rates. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supplemented by community event participation (Sea Witch Festival, Coast Day, Delaware Botanic Gardens) and educational outreach to generate leads within the Delmarva region. Customer segments are diversified across HOAs, municipal governments, development and property management corporations, engineering firms, educational institutions, and private landowners. The company is led by President and Founder Todd Fritchman (M.S. Biology, Delaware State University) with a small team of ~7-8 employees and is currently hiring additional field technicians.
