Stormwater biochar specification
Prepared for Bob Wells | New England Biochar · Research checked 12 November 2026
Put your production expertise into stormwater
King County’s approved biochar study plans producer interviews and material screening to create a usable stormwater specification. Your production and sourcing consulting can help connect feedstock choices and processing methods to a material that can actually be supplied. Contact Jennifer Lanksbury to introduce that expertise and establish which technical support or candidate-material work the team could commission. [1, 2, 3]
King County | Biochar Specification for Stormwater Treatment / FP07
Owner: King County Water and Land Resources Division · Washington stormwater research
PROJECT POSITION
Approved SAM project; contracting recommended summer/fall 2027. [2]
Why it fits
01 The study plans producer interviews about feedstock and processing. Your production and sourcing consulting directly addresses that discussion. [1, 3]
02 Candidate selection considers regional availability and cost. Bring a practical production/supply approach; agree how a Massachusetts-based firm could support the Washington team. [1, 3]
03 New biochar development is conditional on too few suitable existing candidates. Your process and system-selection expertise is relevant to that later decision. [1, 3]
Your first move
Jennifer Lanksbury | King County study contact

Ask: Jennifer, what is FP07’s current contracting schedule and producer-input route, and is there a defined need for outside process consulting or candidate-material work that we could scope?
From insight to action
Where your offer fits
Producer/process input [1]
Your contribution: Present production and sourcing expertise. [3]
Next step: Ask which inputs the team wants and how to provide them.
Candidate screening [1]
Your contribution: Document material provenance and processing.
Next step: Match the requested data, regional supply and cost criteria.
Conditional development [1]
Your contribution: Offer a scoped process-development approach. [3]
Next step: Discuss only if the team identifies a remaining need.
SAM project approval supports planning the approach. It does not establish a supplier allocation; agree the permitted commercial route with Jennifer. [2]
