Key Points Discussed [00:03:00] • Ty introduces Navy and Dan: “Together they launched Kai Pono Solutions, combining their love for the ocean with serious business and engineering know-how.” – Ty Garmon [00:05:00] • Navy shares her entrepreneurial journey: “I knew I had to do something I was passionate about. I wanted to do something around ocean conservation.” – Navy McKee [00:07:00] • Dan recalls his original stormwater design: “Every single time, the streets were flooding. I always just thought, this is silly.” – Dan McKee [00:10:00] • Dan introduces Navy to stormwater: “I broke out some old drawings I had, and we went for a walk opening manhole lids.” – Dan McKee [00:12:00] • What makes their solution different: “Nobody is really doing what we're doing. We filter water at the curb gutter line, not inside the storm drain.” – Navy McKee [00:16:00] • Development timeline: “The turbocharge happened in 2020. We’ve been doing testing, R&D, and manufacturing over the past five years.” – Navy McKee [00:20:00] • Branding and public engagement: “We really want to make it different. We want to make stormwater cool.” – Navy McKee [00:23:00] • Product modularity and scale: “They’re kind of like Legos for engineers. You can add as many of these basins as you want.” – Navy McKee [00:27:00] • Data-driven innovation: “We want to help people understand flow rates, contaminants, and maintenance cycles.” – Navy McKee [00:30:00] • Emphasis on realistic maintenance: “If you don’t maintain our device, it’s not going to flood your city.” – Navy McKee [00:33:00] • Call for connections and partnerships: “We just want to be your friends and meet more people in the space.” – Navy McKee In this episode of the Stormwater World Podcast, host Ty Garmon is joined by Navy and Dan McKee, co-founders of Kai Pono Solutions, who share the story behind their innovative curbside stormwater filtration system designed to prevent clogging and flooding while delivering clean discharge water. What began as a long-shelved design by Dan evolved into a modern solution through Navy’s passion for ocean conservation and a startup-minded approach to stormwater. Together, they discuss the product’s unique features, including its modular design, ease of maintenance, and flexibility with filtration media, as well as their journey navigating regulatory hurdles, startup funding, and industry adoption. Their mission is clear: to build a cleaner, more accessible future for water quality, one storm drain at a time.

They do all things digital. Check them out at DigitalStormwater.com because the best-known beats best every time. Key Points Discussed [00:00:00] • “Erosion control is like insurance. The thief who's going to come rob your house is that storm...” — Mark Myrowich [00:02:00] • Introduction to guest Mark Myrowich and his background in erosion control innovation. • Creator of several industry firsts, including the hydraulic biotic soil amendment category. [00:04:30] • What is Ditch 2.0? Reimagining the ditch as more than a drainage channel. • “Let’s not just make it a conveyance of water… what else can we build into a ditch?” — Mark Myrowich [00:08:00] • Building soils that retain water and support long-term vegetation health. • “You’re not just protecting structure—you’re protecting value.” [00:10:30] • “How much carbon can we store in a ditch, and should we be designing infrastructure with that in mind?” — Mark Myrowich [00:12:30] • Origins of biotic soil amendments from Northern Canada’s moss-based ecosystems. • Using hydroseeding to deliver life directly into poor soils. [00:16:00] • Challenging the "we’ve always done it that way" mentality. • Cost comparisons between traditional topsoil hauling and using biotic amendments. [00:18:00] • “The cost of what you want to spend on erosion control should be proportionate to what you're trying to protect.” — Mark Myrowich [00:25:30] • Understanding plant growth basics: food, air, light, and temperature—not necessarily soil. [00:27:30] • “Mother Nature takes 50 to 100 years… we can do it in weeks.” — Mark Myrowich • Mimicking natural processes for faster soil health and vegetation success. [00:30:00] • The story behind industrial hemp as an alternative to coconut fiber in erosion control. • Hemp as a sustainable, North American-grown material for erosion blankets. [00:32:00] • Mark’s upcoming innovation: a 100% natural, netless, stapleless hemp blanket.

You're not just building ditches, you're building the future.” — Mark Myrowich Key Quotes “Erosion control is like insurance. The thief who's going to come rob your house is that storm—and you don’t know when he’s going to hit, or how hard.” ~ Mark Myrowich “Let’s not just make it a conveyance of water. What else can we do? What else can we build into a ditch to provide more benefit?” ~ Mark Myrowich “If we can hold water in the soil, we can reduce downstream flooding, grow stronger vegetation, and even store carbon. That’s Ditch 2.0.” ~ Mark Myrowich “Mother Nature takes 50 to 100 years to build healthy soil. We can now do that in weeks by mimicking her biology.” ~ Mark Myrowich “If you're young in this industry, don't think everything's been invented. Think quantum, not linear—you're not just building ditches, you're building the future.” ~ Mark Myrowich In this episode of the Stormwater World Podcast, host Ty Garmon talks with Mark Myrowich from ECBVerdyol introduces “Ditch 2.0”—a new way to think about ditch design that goes far beyond moving water. Mark shares how erosion control can become a tool for building healthier soils, reducing downstream flooding, and storing carbon. He explains the science behind biotic soil amendments, the value of biomimicry, and how small shifts in design can lead to big environmental gains. The conversation blends practical insights with innovative thinking, encouraging engineers and contractors to rethink the purpose and potential of the humble ditch.
