Stillwater Sciences is SEED Certified
We are pleased to share that Stillwater Sciences is now SEED certified with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). This certification recognizes our status as a small, Sacramento based business and further strengthens our ability to support utility and infrastructure projects throughout SMUD’s service area.
Stillwater has partnered with SMUD for more than 25 years, providing trusted scientific, engineering, and regulatory support on a wide range of hydroelectric and environmental services projects. Our long standing relationship with SMUD reflects our deep understanding of SMUD’s needs, regulatory requirements, and the practical realities of implementing complex projects in sensitive environmental settings.

- Hydroelectric relicensing and compliance, covering all phases of the FERC process
- Environmental planning and regulatory compliance, including CEQA, NEPA, and permitting
- Transmission and distribution projects, including environmental support for conveyance, maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades
- Biological, hydrologic, geomorphic, and water quality services to support planning, design, construction, and operations
- Surveys for golden mussels and other targeted aquatic invasive species, including monitoring, risk assessments, and management strategies
With offices in Sacramento and throughout northern California, our interdisciplinary team brings decades of experience supporting utilities, public agencies, and private clients with science-driven, defensible, and pragmatic solutions.
We look forward to building upon our successful history supporting SMUD and expanding teaming partnerships as a SEED certified firm. Please reach out if you would like to discuss how Stillwater can support your upcoming projects or proposal efforts.
