What CASCADE STREAM SOLUTIONS, LLC does

Cascade Stream Solutions, LLC is a private environmental engineering consultancy founded in 2013 and headquartered at 961 Bellview Ave., Ashland, Oregon. The firm provides fisheries, habitat restoration, river, and hydraulic engineering services to State and Federal resource agencies, resource conservation districts, nonprofits, and local water users across rural Central and Southern Oregon and Northern California. Its service portfolio covers stream surveys, stream gaging and monitoring, fluvial geomorphic assessment, stream and wetland creation/enhancement/restoration design, fisheries engineering, river engineering (including bank protection and dam removal), and construction inspection and management.

The firm's underlying technology is conventional civil and water-resources engineering practice: field data collection, hydrologic and hydraulic studies, geomorphic analysis, and engineering design for fish passage, fish screening, irrigation, and stream restoration. The founding principal, Joey Howard, holds bachelor's and master's degrees in civil and water resources engineering, is a licensed professional engineer in Oregon and California, and brings 21 years of experience working in natural and impaired watersheds. Project delivery relies on a multidisciplinary collaboration model in which the firm teams with external specialists in biology, ecology, environmental science, geology, and other engineering disciplines.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based consulting engagements, with no disclosed pricing tiers and no public revenue figures. The go-to-market model is direct sales-led engagement, with work typically secured through professional relationships and technical credibility rather than formal sales processes. The firm markets itself on local watershed knowledge, practitioner experience, and a low overhead structure that allows cost-effective delivery relative to larger competitors. No external investment, parent company, or institutional ownership is present; the business operates as a founder-controlled LLC.

• River Design Group: Specialist river and wetland restoration, hydraulic engineering, and stream restoration design consulting firm. Comparable in scale, services, and Pacific Northwest regional focus.
• Kleinschmidt Group: Engineering and science consultancy specializing in fish passage, hydropower, and aquatic resource projects for utilities and agencies. Comparable in fish passage and river engineering services and agency-client model.
• Stillwater Sciences: Aquatic ecology and river restoration consulting firm serving federal, state, and nonprofit clients in the western US. Overlaps heavily on fluvial geomorphic assessment, habitat restoration, and fish passage design.
• Inter-Fluve: Specialist water resources, river restoration, and fish passage engineering firm serving the Pacific Northwest and western US. Highly comparable in service mix, client base (government agencies, conservation districts), and project types.
• W.F. Baird & Associates: Water resources and coastal/river engineering consultancy serving public and private clients. Comparable in fluvial geomorphic assessment, hydraulic studies, and restoration design services.

Broad incumbents

• Anchor QEA: Large multi-disciplinary environmental engineering firm with strong practices in river restoration, fish passage, and aquatic ecosystem work. Competes for the same agency RFPs but as a broader consultancy with many other service lines.
• Resource Environmental Solutions (RES): Large-scale ecological restoration and mitigation firm serving government agencies and utilities nationwide. Comparable in stream and wetland restoration services but at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• McMillen Jacobs Associates: Large water resources and dams engineering firm with practice areas in dam removal, fish passage, and river restoration. Overlaps with Cascade's dam removal and river engineering services, though much larger in scale.

Emerging players

• Stream Mechanics: Small specialist restoration engineering firm focused on stream and riparian restoration design. Directly comparable in scale and service offering, though with a different regional footprint.
