McGrath Consulting and the owner Mike have been a mandatory sub of mine for years now because of how helpful and professional they are. Mike has bailed me out more times than I can count and as long as I’m in the industry, I’ll be using their services. Anything in the storm water world, Mcgrath will take care of you!

You probably don't have any idea who I am, but I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know how much I appreciate the great work you are doing. I just got done reviewing a SWPPP you prepared for Clay Park in San Diego. I have reviewed a few other SWPPPs you have prepared in the past and they are always really well done. As soon as I see your name on the SWPPP I know it will be a good one. Thanks for all you do!
