# Garver Garver is an Arkansas-based multidisciplinary engineering firm whose "**Arkansas Water Team**" performed the **early water-and-wastewater scoping for [[Project Stratus]]** in 2024 — the firm that, on the cooling-water question, first put the hard engineering questions to the developer. ## Roles in this corpus - **Early Project Stratus water/wastewater scoping (2024).** Garver participated in the [[Project Stratus Utilities Meetings and Site Visit|October 2, 2024 utilities site visit]] and authored the 2024-10-01 question set to "the company" on cooling-tower supply and blowdown — constituent limits, disinfection, "the corrosion inhibitor SD2535," treatability/toxicity/UVT testing, and "the company's stance on having its own treatment and **NPDES discharge permit to the Arkansas River**." See [[Tupelo Bayou Treated-Effluent Cooling]]. ## People - **Paul Strickland, P.E.** — Senior Project Manager, Arkansas Water Team (`[email protected]`); lead on the 2024 Project Stratus water/wastewater questions and the site visit. - **Dustin Tackett** (`[email protected]`) and **Sean E. Scuras** (`[email protected]`) — Garver team members on the 2024 threads. ## Notes Garver's documented role is the 2024 scoping phase; the formal effluent evaluation and Final Engineering Report were carried by [[Black & Veatch]] (2025–2026). Whether Garver's role continued in parallel, or B&V superseded it, is not stated in the production. Garver is a prominent Arkansas civil/water engineering firm and recurs across the state's infrastructure record; in this corpus it appears solely on the Conway Project Stratus cooling-water scoping.
