About Us
Services
Hydrologic and Hydraulic
Modeling
House Moran's state-of-the-art Hydrology & Hydraulics (H&H) modeling and statistical analysis tools have been put to the test for decades. We have pioneered procedures for analysis through research, development, and implementation across the United States to leverage technology that benefits our clients bottom line.
FEMA Permitting
Our staff have successfully completed hundreds of FEMA map revisions on some of the most difficult to permit sites. Time and again we successfully reclaim property in the floodplain and have the expertise to navigate the difficult and lengthy process of securing floodplain revisions.
Stormwater Master Planning
We evaluate quantitative and qualitative challenges to stormwater management unique to every development and location. Through detailed evaluations, we supply benefit-cost analyses and alternative solutions to meet various regulatory policies, ordinances, and design criteria.
Program Funding
Communities facing growth, aging infrastructure, and diminishing resources have difficulty adequately funding operations and capital investment. House Moran has directed the development of numerous successful stormwater utilities for continuous program funding. Additionally, we are nationally recognized for obtaining tens of millions of dollars in FEMA HMA and USEPA 319(h) grants.
Environmental Services
We offer comprehensive environmental permitting support for various state and federal agencies that include:
-
Clean Water Act (404/401)
-
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
-
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
-
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Training
House Moran offers technical training and continuing education to engineers, scientists, and practitioners for a variety of water resources engineering topics including:
-
HEC-RAS 2D
-
SWMM
-
FEMA Grants
Legal/Expert Witness

Jeff House
CEO
Jeff has more than 44 years of experience dedicated to providing technically creative and economically sound solutions for a diverse range of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering/Permitting projects. He is a nationally recognized regulatory permitting expert and is often called upon across the U.S. to take over and resolve permitting projects that are “stuck in the regulatory mud”.
As a pioneer in the field of advanced GIS-based Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) modeling and calibration methodologies, Mr. House has served as Project Manager/Director on dozens of large-scale comprehensive stormwater master plans, watershed assessments, and FEMA flood insurance studies across the country.
Mr. House has co-authored and facilitated numerous stormwater design criteria and best management practices (BMPs) manuals for municipalities and agencies. Mr. House has successfully presented at hundreds of public meetings, facilitated hundreds of public outreach/stakeholder meetings, and regularly presents technical papers at trade conferences.
