This has been a trying time for our

family. I would like to share it with

you in hopes that some of the events

(which we may think won’t happen to us)

may inspire you to take stock of your life

and make plans for the unexpected.

Th is story started in August, as one of

our sons, Kem, and his wife, Marcell, were

preparing for their daughters wedding. In

the midst of making plans for the big cel-

ebration, Marcell, at the age of 53, had a

heart attack and passed away while at her

daughters house. Th is devastation shook

everyone up but it brought us all closer to-

gether. Th e decision was made to go ahead

with the November wedding as planned,

as that’s what Marcell would want.

Kem was dealing with the tragedy and

making many unanticipated decisions.

Th en, just two short months later, while

he and his son headed out for the desti-

nation wedding, Kem died suddenly and

unexpectedly at the age of 55.

Now in the “mourning” of losing both

parents in less than 10 weeks, their 3 chil-

dren, all in their

20’s, are faced with

many challenges.

Th ey found that

the will was not

fi nished or fi led, a

life insurance pay-

ment was one day

late and had lapsed, now there is funeral

expense and the list goes on.

Th is may be a good time to evaluate

your situation: is your will up-to-date –

do you have a plan for succession – is your

company equipped to function without

you – are insurance policies in place –

what about funeral expenses – who will

be in charge (if you do not name someone

to be in charge and have no will, the state

laws take eff ect and someone else will be

in charge).

Life moves along pretty fast and some-

times we may overlook some life changing

situations. Land and Water and all our

staff thank you so much for your reader-

ship, friendship and your help. We wish

you a blessed Christmas and a prosperous

New Year!

Stack ‘Em High Extreme Soil Lifts Solve Extreme Erosion in Constrained Space on Urban Creek


STREAM RESTORATION

For such a tiny, seemingly insignifi cant

urban drainageway, the unnamed

fi rst order tributary to South Branch

Pennsauken Creek can be voracious.

“Flashy” is scarcely adequate to describe the

enormous bounce nearby residents would

witness with every rainfall, no matter how

small.

And with every rainfall, residents

would also see that the hungry little creek

had gouged away even more of the gaping

cavity at the base of a steep, 18-foot bank

that was eroding toward their condo com-

plex.

Clearly, something had to be done.

But there was little elbow room in the

urban environs of Pennsauken Township,

New Jersey. The constraints of horizontal

space – with the condos facing an office

building parking lot only 120 feet across

the creek – were compounded by the com-

plexity of a nearly vertical, 18-foot high

erosional zone.

The answer? Instead of a convention-

al engineered retaining wall or perhaps an

unsightly boulder revetment, Pennsauken

Township chose a softer, bioengineering

approach – a concept that increasingly is

becoming the long-term, naturalized solu-

tion to streambank erosion problems.

To stop the threat to the condomini-

um, Applied Ecological Services, Inc., of

Conshohocken, PA, proposed a 10-foot

high stack of fabric encapsulated soil lifts,

vegetated with deep-rooted native plants,

shrubs and trees that, over time, would

gain in strength and provide the needed

stability. In all, the length of the wall of

soil lifts was only 80 feet, but the 10-foot

height and stack of 10 foot-thick soil lifts

was by far the highest ever designed and

constructed by their company.

The banks of Pennsauken Creek was eroding toward a condo complex.

STREAM RESTORATION


Runoff is the Culprit

Located just across the Delaware

River from Philadelphia, Pennsauken is a

typical urban community with a high per-

centage of impervious surface and the

associated stormwater runoff issues com-

mon in such a situation.

“The real cause of the problem was

stormwater runoff. That’s easy to see,”

said AES water resources engineer Art

Wawiernia, P.E., who partnered with

AKRF, Inc., in the geomorphic assessment

and restoration design. “When the rains

come, the stream experiences quick, pow-

erful flows. It surges like a river. The sys-

tem is under a lot of pressure.”

Scott Quitel, AES senior ecologist,

added, “Between 2008 and 2010, we stud-

ied the site’s ecology and tried to take a

holistic view, with discussions of a series of

retrofits that may yet be possible. In addi-

tion to this stabilization project, we’ve

started the dialogue to address other

issues, such as reducing impervious surface

in the watershed, improving infiltration,

providing detention, etc.

“Could we remove some of the two-

acre asphalt parking lot, provide some

detention and infiltration buffer, and

reduce the volume of flow? Maybe. It’s

been encouraging because the township,

the residents, and other stakeholders are

really listening with open minds.”

The Problem of Space

Because the south bank had cut close

to the condominium complex and the

buildings themselves prevented access to

the creek by heavy equipment, work crews

from earthmoving subcontractor Gleim

Environmental Group could only reach

into the work envelope from the north

bank adjacent to the office complex park-

ing lot.

Thus, to reshape the nearly vertical

cutbank and prep the site for the 10 soil

Along with hand seeding, native plugs, shrubs and tubelings were planted.

STREAM RESTORATION


lifts that would replace the eroding bank,

Gleim used a long-reach excavator, work-

ing across the small channel. At the base

of the slope, they placed two stacked rows

of huge cubical boulders, which provided

a six-foot high rock foundation for the

10-foot wall of soil lifts. For this, Gleim

used an excavator with a thumb that was

able to accurately pick and place the two-

to four-ton boulders.

Behind each row of boulders, they

placed a four-foot wide pocket of loose

rock wrapped in filter fabric that would

serve to allow passage of water during low

(and high) flows without jeopardizing the

soil lifts above.

With rock in place, AES crews began

the labor-intensive effort to build soil lift

upon soil lift, until the 10-foot wall had

reached a height where the top of slope

could be vegetated at an angle of repose

that connected with the narrow band of

lawn separating the slope from the condo-

minium.

Building Soil Lifts

Working in the badly eroded ravines

along Lake Michigan, crews knew the dif-

ficulties and dangers of installing dynamic

soil and water solutions in steep unstable

environments. “Eighteen feet from the

waterline to top of slope, in a narrow can-

yon-like area – yeah, that height was a

challenge, no question,” said AES con-

struction manager Josh LaPointe. “But we

know the native plant species that can

provide long-term stabilization, so we

paired them with the bioengineering prod-

ucts that provide the slope stability in the

short-term, and also for years to come.

“The combination of native plant

materials and bioengineering products is a

functional solution that gets stronger over

time, whereas the traditional hard-

Each soil life was encapsulated by erosion control fabric specifi cally manufactured for this use.

armored solutions are strong at first, but

weaken over time.”

Installation of the soil lifts was a

repetitive process. At the first two levels

above the rock base, crews placed 12-inch

layers of soil encapsulated by erosion con-

trol fabric specifically manufactured for

use in soil lifts, in combination with live

stakes of sand bar willow (Salix exigua),

silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and

elderberry (Sambucus canadensis).Once the soil was in place, the lifts

were compacted with either a vibratory

walk-behind plate compactor, or a vibrato-

ry sheepsfoot roller compactor, to achieve

a compaction rate of 70 to 85% of maxi-

mum dry density. Compaction rates were

measured with a nuclear density gauge

and a static cone penetrometer to verify

that compaction had been accomplished

to the target density.

After compaction, the crews pulled

back and staked the lift with the fabric,

then laid another layer of fabric, soil,

compaction, and again fabric, soil, com-

paction, etc. Each 12-inch soil lift was

placed 18 inches behind the one below it,

creating a 1.5 to 1 slope, and providing an

18-inch bench for seeding and planting.

More than 50 different species of native

forbs, grasses, sedges, shrubs and trees

were installed in four different planting

zones (woody, herbaceous, wet planting

and riparian zones).

An inch of softer soil was placed on

each 18-inch bench before hand-seeding

the area and placing the fabric over the

lift. Once the stack of soil lifts was in

place, crews returned to each of the

benches, cut slits into the fabric and plant-

ed native species: herbaceous plugs, shrubs

and tubelings (small trees).

Nedia Koirmat 1000™ fibermat was

used to encapsulate the soil lifts, which

Between ever other life, a layer of geogrid was installed to provide sliding resis-tence.

simplified construction, according to

LaPointe, because it is a double-layer,

high-strength coconut fiber blanket –

woven on one face and non-woven on the

other – which is specifically manufactured

for this type of application.

Each soil lift was anchored to the one

below it by pounding triangular stakes

through the fabric. In addition, between

every other lift, a layer of Mirafi Miragrid

5XT™ geogrid was installed to provide

sliding resistance between the lifts.

“The weight of the soil above the

geogrid is acting downward and out along

the exposed face, and the friction created

by the geogrid against the lift fabric above

and below resists the outward sliding,”

said Wawiernia. “This was key because we

were concerned about stability due to the

extreme height of the wall.”

In addition to the high south wall,

crews built a four-foot high wall of soil

lifts on the north bank. And, to stop the

advance of a rapidly advancing three-foot

deep headcut in the stream channel, a

series of three step pools were created to

provide improved in-stream habitat and

convey high flows over the 3-foot channel

height differential in a non-erosive manner.

The step pool sequence was built by

creating mini-dams, or rock weirs, with

on-site rock and some imported rock.

Scour pools were excavated downstream

from each rock weir. The step-pool struc-

tures not only stabilized the headcut but

also serve to provide in-stream habitat for

a local population of bullfrogs that were

salvaged and relocated during the con-

struction.

Finally, 500 feet upstream from the

streambank stabilization, the company

also restored and revegetated two

2,200-square foot areas up-slope from an

installation of gabions that had been

constructed by the Township several years

earlier to stabilize the outfall of a 3-foot

culvert. Again, all native species were used

to revegetate the area including 10 forbs,

six grasses/sedges, seven shrubs/vines and

six tree species.

Crews also installed brush fascines

just downstream from the gabions where

bank erosion had occurred.

“This little stream system exhibits all

the classic impacts of development that

occurred years ago before agencies began

pursuing the usual stormwater BMPs in

use today,” Wawiernia said. “There are

several storm sewer outfalls that pipe

stormwater directly into the stream with-

out being routed through a pond or basin,

so the stream is getting punched in the gut

left and right whenever there is any kind

of rain event.

“For now, we’ve addressed the acute

geotechnical instabil ity and we’ve

improved the riparian habitat by removing

invasives and planting native vegetation.

We stabilized the bank and reassured the

condo residents with a solution that is

protecting the adjacent infrastructure, and

we hope to be able to provide additional

stormwater retrofits in the future to fur-

ther reduce the effects of urbanization on

the stream system.” L&W

SOIL AMENDMENTS

The lower part of the Steamboat Ski

Resort’s mountain, where the be-

ginner area is located, had a design

problem. The draws and double fall lines

that Mother Nature provided had a ten-

dency to bunch people together. As a

result the terrain was not conducive for

teaching both skiing and snowboarding

and it was decided to re-grade and re-

shape the contours of the Base Area. The

project involved re-shaping the lower 25

acres of the mountain terrain, from the

top of the Christy chair, down to the base

of the Gondola lift without removing nor

adding any soil.

In their efforts to comply with Phase

Two of the Clean Water Act, the Ski Corp

employed over 25 employees full-time for

nearly three months to install berms,

swales, check dams and other erosion con-

trol BMP’s.

Background

By the time the Steamboat Ski Resort

officially broke ground in 1958, it’s skiing

history was already over 45 years old.

That is partially because Carl Howelsen

left Norway to immigrate to the United

States in 1905. He had no idea he was

about to become the grandfather of skiing

in the Yampa Valley, where the little town

of Steamboat Springs rested. Howelsen, a

great Norwegian ski champion, moved to

Chicago and joined Barnum & Bailey’s

Circus and became “The Fly ing

Norseman”. Eventually, he tired of the

circus, longed for the outdoors and the

mountains and headed west to Denver in

1909 (Leif Hovelsen, 1983).

In 1911 he and a friend skied 44

miles from Rollins Pass into Hot Sulphur

Springs, where they found a Winter

Carnival in progress. After building a

jumping ramp he sailed seventy nine feet

in the air and wowed the townspeople,

who immediately planned a jumping tour-

nament for the following February

(Middle Park Times, 1984).

By 1941 Steamboat Springs, CO held its

31st annual Winter Sports Carnival and

raised $110,000.00 in war subscriptions

during the Fourth War Loan Drive of

Routt County (Sureva Towler, 1987).

On July 6, 1958 James Temple broke

ground for the new Storm Mountain Ski

Area in Steamboat Springs. Between 1958

and 1961 he secured options to buy 827

acres of meadow land at the base of the

mountain. “Champagne powder” was the

descriptive phrase used to promote the

area. He gave credit to a Kremmling

rancher, Joe McElroy, who said the fluffy

dry snow was “lighter than champagne

bubbles”. (Sureva Towler, 1987).

Today the mountain consists of a

total of 2,965 skiable acres ranging in alti-

tude from 6900 ft to 10,568 ft above sea

level. They have 164 runs: 14% beginner,

42% Intermediate and 44% Expert.

The Problem

The very bottom of the mountain

serves two purposes; first it is the primary

area where beginning skier and snow-

boarding lessons are taught. Secondly, it is

the only way off of the mountain on skis.

The problem with this terrain was its

pitch. It was relatively flat at the top with

almost a twenty-two percent grade at the

bottom. Mother Nature had separated

this area into two trails with different ele-

vations and a transition in between, that

created a double fall line. It did not go

straight down the mountain toward the

bottom, but fell away to the right. While

advanced skiers can navigate these lines it

is difficult for beginners. It also presented

a challenge for the machines that groom

the slopes on a nightly basis.

The Goal

The intent of the re-grade was to sep-

arate this area into three distinct trails,

each with a consistent pitch. The steepest

section would hold annual events such as

the Cardboard Classic (A race of sleds

constructed out of cardboard) and the

Cowboy Downhill (which hosts rodeo

contestants from the Stock Show in

Denver every January). This trail was to

have approximately a nineteen percent

grade.

In the center a trail was designed with

a medium pitch to allow skiers to transi-

tion from the top of the mountain at the

end of the day to the base area. This area

was to be between a fourteen and sixteen

percent grade.

The area to the far left was to be the

teaching area with the mildest pitch

between a nine to twelve percent grade.

Groundbreaking And Complications

Formal planning began in 2005.

Immediately it became apparent that the

main power feed that supplied the moun-

tain ran directly up the middle of this

slope. The 25 lift towers that belonged to

The Soil Guard protected and seeded ski slope under the Christie Express Lift in the Fall of 2008.

the 3 lifts servicing the area had to be

removed. The dirt work started in July of

2007 and was subcontracted to Precision

Excavating of Steamboat Springs. Six

inches of topsoil was harvested from the

entire site and stockpiled. Dirt was bull-

dozed from the old beginner’s terrain into

the middle to create an area for installing

new lines and to cover the old ones until

the new lines could be placed.

New lift towers were placed by heli-

copter while the lines were installed. It

took until October to finish the power

now placed along the south of the project.

At this point they needed to remove the

old lines and grade the center trail and

teaching area. This took approximately

two weeks and all rough grading was com-

pleted. Fortunately, it was a mild fall and

snow came late, allowing additional time

to install temporary drainage swales and

BMP’s to secure the area for the winter.

Straw erosion control blankets were

installed over the site to mitigate erosion

for the winter. A crew of six workers spent

two weeks installing the blankets to secure

the area (approx 500 man hours).

twenty-five acres in size, that receives four

hundred and fifty to five hundred inches

of snow a season, can represent a huge

challenge. It can take over twenty inches

of light snow to equal an inch of moisture

but only five or six inches of wet heavy

snow to equal the same amount. An area

such as Steamboat Springs receives about

30 inches of moisture each winter, not

including the man-made snow. During

the spring runoff, the melted water runs

between the top of the ground and the

bottom of the snow. It can erode the soil

at an alarming rate with the weight of the

snow that remains on top.

A crew of eight workers and a mini

excavator were assigned full time to muck

out behind check dams and sediment

traps seven days a week for three to four

weeks during what is referred to as “mud

season”. This represents approximately

1800 man hours. The crew also rein-

forced check dams once they dried out to

insure their stability. Water from the three

main diversion ditches was funneled

toward a series of three oversize dewater-

ing bags 15 feet by 40 feet to catch as

much sediment as possible.

After things started drying out the

heavy equipment was brought in and the

final grading began. Since the beginner’s

area had been moved the “Magic Carpets”

had to be moved from one side to the

other. Magic carpets are small conveyor

belts that move slowly to transport begin-

ners standing upright to the top of the

area.

The topsoil was re-installed averaging

approximately six inches deep over the

entire project. Approximately one half of

a million cubic feet of topsoil was removed

and re-installed.

Stormwater Management

A permanent set of trenches and

ditches had to be constructed to channel

moisture down the mountain and create

permanent drainage. Even after the reveg-

etation was finalized, the sheer volume of

water runoff necessitated a series of drain-

age channels to prevent the combination

of snowmelt and sub-ground water from

scouring and compromising the integrity

of the soil.

The four main vertical diversion

ditches were designed to transport water

from the smaller grid of horizontal trench-

es and withstand greater hydraulic pres-

sures. Permanent rock check dams were

placed to slow the velocity and contain

sediment at prescribed intervals. Their

distance apart was determined by the slope

with the bottom of the upstream dam at

the same height as the top of the down-

stream dam.

They were reinforced with Landlok

300, a synthetic Turf Reinforcement Mat

designed to prevent scouring or riling of

the ditch. This TRM is designed to pro-

tect vegetative growth in velocities above

10 feet per second.

The horizontal water bar trenches

were set in a grid that ran across the hill at

approximately a ten degree slope to break

the square footage of the mountain into

small, manageable areas. Biodegradable

straw wattles were placed in each trench

using the same criteria as the rock check

dams to contain the sediment in any given

area. They fed into the larger diversion

ditches to transport the water down the

mountain.

A crew of twenty to twenty five

employees worked full time for ten weeks

to install the wattles and rock check dams.

This took approximately 10,000 man

hours to complete. Almost all of the rock

used for the check dams was deposited on

the hill in batches and hand placed.

Steamboat Lower elevation custom

seed mix which has proven to work well in

this climate was provided by Pawnee

Buttes Seed Co., Greeley Colorado.

Actual application rate was 50 lbs/acre

-Crested Wheatgrass (Agroptron cristatum)

-White Clover (Trifolium repens) -Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum)

-Small Burnet Clover (Trifolium longipes)

The topsoil was then harrowed to

soften it up and make sure it was consis-

tent in depth. Seed and Biosol organic

fertilizer was then worked into the mix

and harrowed once more.

Biosol Mix 7-2-3 is an all natural

organic fertilizer provided by Bowman

Construction Supply Inc., Denver

Colorado. (This mix has also been used at

Steamboat prior and works well in this cli-

mate.) Because it is organic no hazards

were present to wildlife or day hikers.

Actual application rate was 800 lbs/acre

due to microbial activity present in the

high quality topsoil.

Cover

A Bonded Fiber Matrix was decided

upon in lieu of regular hydromulch due to

the complications of the degree of slope

and the amount of snow that would be on

it continuously for the 5 to 6 months of

winter. The cross linkers in the BFM in

amount. The product chosen was Soil

Guard manufactured by Mat Inc.

It was applied at a rate of 2,000 lbs/

acre as an average. On steeper slopes the

rate was approximately 2500 lbs and on

the flatter areas the rate was 1800 lbs.

The hydraulic application was com-

pleted in the fall of 2008 well in advance

of the upcoming ski season and the proj-

ect was buttoned up for the year.

Some of the blankets originally laid

down the first fall of 2007 were able to be

salvaged when removed in spring 2008

and some were recycled around the lift

terminals in areas with slope greater than

1>1.

Spring 2009 arrived with all of the

BMP’s intact and the diversion ditches

and horizontal trenches operating smooth-

ly. Germination was just beginning. Once

the snow melted and the soil temperature

increased, the growth occurred very quick-

ly. The end result was the successful ger-

mination and growth on the site that

allowed the area to close its permit with

the State of Colorado in the Fall of 2009,

easily meeting the 70% cover requirement

for revegetation. L&W

Hydroseeding and mulching was done with high quality products and materials to assure soil to seed contact insuring great revegetation results.


Founded in 2001, privately owned Nin-

er Wine Estates is dedicated to making

the highest quality wines possible in

the Paso Robles Wine Region, using only

estate-grown fruit from its vineyards. Al-

though the wine label has a nine year his-

tory, only recently has it had a place to call

home with its new estate vineyard, produc-

tion facility and tasting room nestled in the

heart of California’s Central Coast wine

country.

The Challenge

A 50,000 case per year winery, estate

vineyard, and luxurious tasting room are

all going to have impacts to surrounding

natural resources. One of the largest con-

cerns during the planning stage was the

impact of irrigating 54 acres of grapes

from an aquifer that was already parched

from other surrounding vineyards. To

reduce impacts to water resources, plan-

ners implemented conservation and reuse

techniques such as rainwater catchment

and wastewater recycling. Neighbors were

concerned about the noise and odors that

typically come from a winery wastewater

lagoon. These concerns drove designers to

look for solutions that would shift the way

that winery wastewater was viewed.

Wastewater could no longer be seen as a

liability or something to dispose of, but

something to be used for irrigation, dust

control, and or providing fire protection.

Since the effluent would be land

applied, the wastewater treatment system

had to abide by the provisions set forth by

the California Regional Water Quality

Control Board under the General Waste

Discharge Requirements for Discharges of

Fruit and Vegetable Processing Waste.

The wastewater treatment design

requirement were that the system would

meet discharge limits at 200 mg/L BOD

and 200 mg/L TSS and be large enough to

accommodate a 100-year, 24-hour storm

event from all impervious surfaces at the

production facility. These objectives had

to be met while treating some of the stron-

gest and most variable waste streams in the

beverage processing industry. With influ-

ent values regularly exceeding 5,000 gpd

at 5,000 mg/L BOD and 300 mg/L TSS

during process season, the aeration system

had to be sized to meet such flows while

not being so large that energy was wasted

during 8 months when there is little flow.

In addition, the system had to be as

quiet as possible, and odorless as not to

interfere with the ambiance of Niner

Wine Estates beautiful tasting room, or

those of their neighbors. With California

paying some of the highest energy costs in

the nation, operating cost was a concern as

well.

The Solution

As exclusive California distributors of

Air Diffusion Systems (ADS), EP Aeration

of San Luis Obispo recognized that ADS’s

fine bubble aeration system was uniquely

suited to address the water resource con-

cerns at Niner Wine Estates and

approached the project’s consulting engi-

neers at Wallace Group, also based in San

Luis Obispo. ADS was chosen to provide

the aeration component of the system

because of their guarantee to be odorless

and meet discharge requirements while

operating at a fraction of the energy

required by an industry standard surface

aerator.

The treatment system is a grid work

of 14 air diffusers which lay on the bot-

tom of the primary lagoon. ADS uses ½”

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) tubing

which is surgically cut to produce a guar-

anteed bubble size of 1/8” diameter or less.

Each disk module provides a continuous

laminar flow of more than a billion bub-

bles per day mixing the equivalent of 18

million gallons each. Fine-bubble aeration

systems achieve oxygenation primarily via

mass transfer of oxygen between the bub-

ble and the water.

By ensuring positive dissolved oxygen

(DO) levels at the sludge-water interface,

the system facilitates an aerobic communi-

ty of bacteria that consume organic sedi-

ments at a much faster rate than anaerobic

bacteria. Sludge accumulation is a com-

mon problem with activated sludge

mechanical treatment plants, and older

lagoons. At an average cost of $15 - $20

per cubic yard to remove, dredging can be

a very expensive proposition. With an esti-

mated accumulation rate of only 1” per

year, the ADS system extends dredge

intervals to an expected 20 years or more

in an industry where dredge intervals usu-

ally max out at 5 years.

The aeration tubing can be config-

ured in a linear fashion or in this case

coiled inside of a 4’ diameter stainless steel

frame to produce the more common

“disk” style of diffusion. The diffusers are

supplied with air through self weighted

LDPE feeder tubing which is attached to

2” butt fused HDPE header pipe that runs

on shore along the length of the lagoon.

Thirty feet of 2” 304 stainless steel pipe is

used to cool the air between the blowers

and the HDPE header pipe. Two of the 14

diffusers are separated by an Environetics

floating baffle on the effluent end of the

lagoon to facilitate solids settling.

ADS diffusers also produce a tremen-

dous amount of mixing which eliminates

anaerobic “dead spots” that are the source

of the odors associated with wastewater

lagoons. Due to the laminar flow achieved

by ADS diffusers, sediments are not lifted

or mixed. They are able to settle around

bubble plumes where they will be digested

by aerobic bacteria. As the bubbles lift the

water to the surface additional oxygen-

ation occurs by contact with the atmo-

sphere.

The air is supplied via a series of three

7.5 horsepower Kaeser Omega Model BB

52 C Rota r y Tr i -Lobe Po s i t i ve

Displacement Blowers. Kaeser blowers

were chosen for their performance, pro-

ducing 70 CFM each at 7 PSI and quiet

operation at only 72 dB(A). A staged

approach to air supply was applied so

when the winery was not producing much

waste, the system operates on 3.8 brake

horsepower (BHP). During peak process-

ing season, a second blower used to pro-

vide oxygen for the added flows and loads

for a total of 7.6 BHP. A third blower is

kept as a standby in case one of the others

breaks down or needs to be serviced. It

also acts as a supplemental air supply to

provide oxygen for any spike loading.

tain equal wear and tear. Although the

system is currently set up for manual oper-

ation, a SCADA system can easily be

incorporated into the Kaeser motor con-

trol panels.

Other important components of the

system include pre-treatment via an

ammonia sparge system for pH buffering

of acidic winery wastewater and a flex rake

to remove large solids before they reach

the primary lagoon. After BOD removal

via aeration, the water then flows into a

constructed wetland for polishing and

finally into a holding reservoir which is

also aerated for algae control. The reser-

voir and wetlands serve multiple purposes

for irrigation, fire control, and wildlife

habitat.

Construction

Specialty Construction Inc. of San

Luis Obispo won the contract for building

out the entire Niner Wine Estates proper-

ty. Construction of the wastewater treat-

ment system began in August 2008 with

two small buildings and the excavation,

compaction, plumbing and lining of the

primary lagoon, constructed wetland, and

holding reservoir. Construction halted in

October 2008 to avoid resource damage in

the rainy months.

The dimensions of the primary

lagoon are about 1/3rd of an acre and 14’

deep with an additional 2’ of freeboard.

Soils were compacted to 95% and lined

with 60-mil HDPE pond liner manufac-

tured by GSE and underlain with geo-fab-

ric. Once the lagoon was dug and lined, 4’

long galvanized U-channel fence posts

were driven into the ground and laser lev-

eled to support the header pipe. Concrete

posts were also set as anchors for the float-

ing baffle. The header pipe arrived on the

job in 7 pieces with factory fused Jaco

compression fittings that receive the feeder

tubing. The contractor simply had to butt

fuse the pieces together and mount the

header on the level fence post. EP

Aeration then installed the 14 diffusers

LDPE feeder tubing, 60 mil liner, HDPE header pipe, and 14 ADS air diffusers.

and feeder tubing being sure to check

every connection with Snoop Leak

Detector.

The constructed wetland and holding

reservoir were built in conjunction with

the primary lagoon. Both were compacted

to 95% relative compaction and lined

with 60 mil pondliner. Two inch PVC

with drilled holes facing down was used to

emit water on the influent side of the wet-

land while 4” PVC with holes facing up

was used to receive water on the effluent

end. The wetland was filled 3’ deep with

gravel of mixed sizes. The gravel acts as a

bacterial growth media as well as a root

media for wetland species such as Cattail

(Typha, spp.), Bulrush (Scirpus, spp.), Canna Lily (Canna, spp.), Blue Flag Iris

(Iris, spp.), and others. The holding reser-

voir was outfitted with a single diffuser

aeration system which operates on a 1/3rd

horsepower Thomas wobble style air

compressor. Air is transferred from the

compressor to the reservoir edge via 1”

schedule 40 PVC where it is coupled into

self weighted feeder tubing that leads to

the diffuser.

A 12’ X 15’ insulated cinder block

building was built to house the three

blowers, stainless steel header/cooling

pipe, controls, and maintenance materials.

A separate 12’ X 15’ cinder block building

was built next to the holding reservoir to

house large water pumps for both irriga-

tion and fire suppression at the winery.

Construction of the system resumed

in April 2009 with the installation of

header pipes and supports followed by the

diffusers, ancillary plumbing and electrical

service in June 2009. The system became

completely operational in July 2009.

Result

The system has now been through a

full year of operation including a process

season. The result is high-quality water

that is odorless and meets state mandated

water quality requirements while operat-

ing at 25% of the electrical requirements

of industry standard surface aerators. The

recycled water is used to supplement

approximately 15% of the estate vineyard’s

water demand. The recycled water and

energy savings make the system a model of

sustainability in the wine industry.

There are no electrical or moving

parts in the water, making it very safe and

simple to operate and maintain. Blowers

require regular oil and air filter changes

and diffusers require annual cleaning

which is made simple by the factory fused,

cleaning solution injection ports on the

header pipe. Diffusers never require any

in-water maintenance and are expected to

last 20+ years in this application.

Finally, by working through the local

energy purveyor’s (PG&E) Savings by

Design program, the owner will receive a

rebate of about 10% off the capital costs

based on the energy savings when com-

pared to surface aeration. The system also

saves about $17,000 per year in energy

costs and will help them achieve LEED

certification. Niner Wine Estates will be

among only a handful of wineries in

California to achieve the distinguished

certification for environmental steward-

ship. L&W

GEOSYNTHETICS

The utilization of wind, solar, manure

and other renewable energy elements

for the generation of electricity is not

a new art or science, but the incorpora-

tion of these energy endeavors on larger

scales is quite recent, particularly in the

United States. (Many European nationas

have long track records of incorporating

alternative power into national and local

grids.) Geosynthetic materials are playing

a strong role. From geomembranes used in

methane-harvesting landfi ll caps to geotex-

tile bags for off -shore wind

farm scour protection, geo-

synthetics are furthering the

growth of alternative energy

sectors.

Dewatering Sludge

Dewatering sludge to

gather biosolids at waste-

water treatment plants

(WWTPs) is a vastly unde-

rutilized technology. One

method of dewatering this

sludge is through the use of

geosynthetic tubes. While

municipal solid waste can

be burned to produce

4,000 Btu/lb, the WWTP

dried sludge from biosolids

generates even more: 6,000

Btu/lb. Furthermore, if the

biosolids are separated out,

they reveal many other

energy-producing elements:

• Grit, 4,000 Btus

• Screenings, 9,000 Btus

• Grease, 16,000 Btus (which is more

than gasoline)

If wastewater could really be used

properly, it could eliminate what is a mas-

sive drain on power to treat wastewater.

Treatment uses approximately 3% of the

United States energy consumption.

Combined with the amount of energy it

takes to pump all that water to and from

WWTPs, it comes close to 7%. In large,

thickly developed states like California,

the drain is even higher. If WWTPs could

produce the power, both economical and

environmental benefits and targets would

be realized.

Major international companies such

as TenCate Geosynthetics have provided

geosynthetic dewatering technologies to

WWTP operations. And geomembranes

are excellent sources for methane contain-

ment covers over WWTP lagoons.

Inland Wind Farms

The Amer i can Wind Energy

Association (AWEA) notes that Denmark

receives over 20% of its electricity from

wind energy. Germany derived more than

7% of its electricity from the wind in

2008, which is roughly equivalent to the

wind utilization in Minnesota and Iowa in

the United States.

What is less known is that wind farms

often depend upon the use of geosynthet-

ics. Geogrids are particularly important in

the successful service life of a wind farm.

The High Sheldon Wind Farm in

Wyoming County, New York exemplifies

this. The 129-MW project produces

enough clean, renewable energy to power

60,000 homes every year. The site’s 75

wind turbines have been installed

predominantly on active agricultural lands

occupying two windswept plateaus. With

elevations of up to 1800 feet, they are

exposed to consistent winds from Lake

Erie, about 30 miles to the

west. Energy from the

project is delivered to a

230 kV electric transmis-

s ion l ine that passes

through the project area.

The major challenge

facing the contractor was

the potent ia l rut t ing

caused by the extremely

high live loads on the tur-

bine access roads. In order

to support loading from

equipment of up to 5000

psf, Fornit® 30 geogrids

f r o m Hu e s k e r w e r e

installed to enhance the

subgrade of the access

roads. This type of geogrid

is designed for reinforce-

ment with confinement of

finer aggregate.

In addition to dramati-

cally improving the bearing

capacity of the subgrade

soils through distributing loads over a

greater area, the Fornit® apertures created

separation, keeping large base particles

from penetrating the softer subgrade soils

without losing confinement. As a result,

the aggregate base course thickness of the

access roads was able to be reduced. This

produced significant savings for the

project owner. Also, the geogrid’s high

aperture stability (0.74 m-N/deg) resulted

in less rutting because deformation of the

Geogrid reinforcement of access roads and turbine pads supports the heavy traffi c and loads necessary for wind farm construction and opera-tion. Wind farm photos by Huesker.

base course was restricted.

The experience was nearly the same

for the construction of Idaho’s largest

wind farm. Haulage and access roads

needed to be built. More than 50% of the

wind farm’s 100 turbines had to be com-

pleted in only a few months, but the soil

conditions were not ideal. The ground

throughout the Wolverine Creek Wind

Farm in Idaho Falls was dry and silty.

These conditions created a weak founda-

tion for the constant heavy traffic that

would be accessing the location. Without

proper support for the construction equip-

ment rutting would be inevitable, adding

delays to the already tight development

schedule.

An unreinforced roadway with signif-

icantly thicker aggregate was considered,

but that solution was considered prohibi-

tive for time and cost.

A detailed analysis of possible solu-

tions was performed using SpectraPave™

Software, a design program from Tensar

International. Incorporating geogrids was

the best choice for meeting the owner’s

goal of completing Phase One on schedule

and was recommended for placement

under a 10-inch aggregate layer to create a

stable and strong platform for the heavily-

laden trucks continually accessing the

wind farm site.

The installation of geogrid in the sub-

grade would allow more truck passes,

without road failure and with less aggre-

gate than the original design had mandat-

ed. Today, the Wolverine Creek Wind

Farm continues to perform well. Its 43

64.5-megawatts.

And due to the eight-inch reduction

in the required thickness of the aggregate

layer when using this geogrid design, a

savings of over $32,000 was achieved. The

reduction of aggregate also meant less

truck traffic across the site and its sur-

rounding areas, which local residents

appreciated for reasons of both noise and

environmental impact.

Off-Shore Wind Farms

Conventional scour protections for

off-shore installations are difficult to

install and secure. Currents complicate

foundations, creating a situation in which

the installation might not be stable in the

long term. Deep foundations are prohibi-

tively expensive. In the growing wind farm

sector, the large, heavy turbines must be

protected against the erosive effects of nor-

mal and sudden, storm-induced currents.

NAUE’s Soft Rock® nonwoven geo-

containers have been used for nearly 20

years in flood defense, and now they are

becoming one of the new solutions for off-

shore wind farm stability.

Traditional scour protection has com-

bined a low granular filter weighted down

with stone armor. These conventional sys-

tems are meant to defray water forces

while preserving fines. If the fines were

allowed to erode, the foundation might

become unstable.

The utilization of nonwoven geotex-

tile bags to provide scour protection for

monopile foundations brings a durable,

More than 48,000 Soft Rock® sand

containers were installed as far back as

1993 for one of Germany’s largest-ever

flood barrier and scour protection instal-

lations. That project, overseen by the

German Federal Waterways Engineering

and Research Institute (BAW), took

place on the Eider River and helped

underscore how effective mechanically

bonded nonwoven geotextile containers

could be.

In 1997, a permanent scour protec-

tion installation was carried out along

the Peene River in Germany. Pile moor-

ings were secured with 1 m³ sand con-

tainers.

In the past few years, these materials

have even been used in large-scale, scour

protection studies at Alpha Ventus--

Germany’s first off-shore wind farm and

research facility.

Manure

The Kyoto Protocol (1997) took a

large international step towards regula-

tion of greenhouse gas emissions.

Agriculture is a big contributor. The slur-

ry and manure of farm animals produce a

vast quantity of methane (CH4).

Switzerland-based Leister, a geosyn-

thetic welding equipment manufacturer,

found that the pig-breeding industry in

the Philippines was beginning to

embrace the use of flexible, geomem-

brane covers over agricultural manure

lagoons. Pig slurry is generally stored in

open cesspools. But covered fermentation

plants are gaining ground, as is the meth-

ane gas extraction rate with pig slurry

extraction (60-65%).

Not long ago, the first methane gas

extraction plant for the country was put

into operation. Fermented biomass is

being used to drive a gas turbine in a

100-kVA power station. The energy

extracted from this process is sufficient to

pigsties for 1500 pigs. To obtain a totally

sealed system, the plastic sealing film

selected is 2mm thick polyethylene

(HDPE). A 1 mm thick material is used

for the covering over the slurry.

The typical dimensions of a fermen-

tation tank for an operation of this size are

100 x 40 x 6 meters. Leister’s COMET

automatic welder was used for the overlap

welding of the plastic sealing sheets. It was

able to scale even the steep slopes at the

edge of the fermentation tanks without

difficulty. The weld seam is closed by the

COMET using a hot wedge with a maxi-

mum jointing force of up to 1000 N.

With the option of changing the hot

wedge, various types of materials can be

worked with these small and easy to use

automatic machines.

Methane-harvesting covers are being

used increasingly in agricultural opera-

tions, particularly at dairies, for both envi-

ronmental protection, odor control and

the beneficial conversion of waste to

power. But grants and tax incentives have

most often been needed to help this appli-

cation develop.

Solar & Landfills

Little more needs to be written right

now about the photovoltaic-enhanced

exposed cap innovation at the Tessman

Road Landfill in San Antonio, Texas or

the well-established harvesting of methane

under landfill caps. (See Cindy Kam’s

July/August 2009 article in Land and

Water.) It’s important to note, however,

that this sector is growing. Many facilities

are in the planning or construction phase.

Generating electricity from landfill

gas is a more significant source of power

than with exposed photovoltaic caps, but

the combination of the two is producing

not just alternative energy but cost bene-

fits in not requiring thick soil covers.

Landfills have greater volume, slope risk

from saturation is practically eliminated,

and more companies are contributing

design expertise and innovation to help

this sector grow.

Firestone provided the exposed TPO

capping membrane in Texas that has

helped launch this approach in the United

States. And Carlisle Energy Services is also

now working on a system for energy-gen-

erating exposed caps.

small sample of the many intersections

PONDS

Most Common Mistakes in Pond Building

There’s a sweet spot on your property

to have a pond. You can see it, down

the hill a little bit, nestled in a bristly,

brushy valley below your favorite place. For

some time, you’ve envisioned water, beauti-

ful blue color, teeming with fi sh, a fl ock of

ducks calling your wet spot “home” for the

moment. It’s a peaceful place, fi lling that

low spot on the land.

You must have it.

What do you do? Where to start?

There is a list of mistakes people

make once they decide to build a pond.

Used to, not that many years ago, you

simply called the local bulldozer operator,

asked him to build a pond and then, pres-

to-chango, you had a pit surrounded by a

pile of dirt that soon had water lapping at

the surface.

That’s not how it works today.

The first big mistake people make is

to assume. Never assume. You have to

know what to expect. That means plan-

ning. Lots of planning. Planning means

learning. Start with goals. Goals give you a

target.

Just because that beautiful, perfect-

looking site you have in mind’s eye looks

ideal…it may not be.

A site must fit the pond and the pond

must fit the site. Two totally different con-

cepts become one. Not only should your

dream pond be aesthetically appealing and

fit the site, the site should be practical to

build a pond.

Uh, exactly what does that mean?

Mark Cornwell, on the tractor, builds a water course for his equestrian wife’s horses, part of their cross-country training, directly adjacent to his fi shing pond in upstate New York. Plan early. Inset: And here’s the Cornwell pond, with horses, after fi lling.

PONDS


Start with maps. Topographical

maps and aerial photos. Evaluate the

watershed. Most people don’t do

that. The size of the watershed, com-

pared with average rainfall for your

area, determines the size a pond

should be. If your watershed drains

50 acres into that valley, the pond

will be a different size than for a

watershed which drains 500 acres.

That’s how the pond fits the site.

After you figure out how large

the pond should be, the next mistake

people make is misunderstanding the

soils. Not all soils are good for pond

building. Clay is a must. Avoid a

leaky pond by understanding the best

soil types for compaction in an earth-

en levee or an excavated pond. Often

times, soil in a valley was deposited

there over many, many years. That

means a mixture of soil types, mostly

those that like to move. Make sure

your soils will work for the project.

Dig test holes and evaluate. That’s

how the site fits the pond.

Another big mistake people

make is to assume the contractor you

choose can read your soils and then

know how to separate those soils and

build a proper structure and stay

within your budget. Ah, budget.

That’s another mistake. Until you

have thoroughly evaluated the site,

determined watershed size, soil types

and designed a workable plan, there’s

no way to estimate how much dirt

must be moved in order to build a

dam or excavate your new pond.

Estimates come from knowing how

much dirt needs to be moved and

how far it must be moved. Two key

things here…know the volume of

dirt that must be moved to estimate

the cost and choose the best contrac-

tor for the job, not necessarily the

cheapest. Best is better than cheap.

Okay, you’ve pushed past the

watershed, figured out there’s enough

clay to do what you want and select-

ed the best contractor. You’ve figured

out how many cubic yards of dirt

must be moved around to do what

you want to do and a written esti-

mate is lying on your desk and

weighing in your mind.

What are other common mis-

takes?

PONDS

Don’t assume the

estimate is accurate.

Assume otherwise or

you are likely to be dis-

appointed. Not one

project is totally pre-

dictable. Not one.

When that big silver

blade begins to move

the earth, surprises

await. There may not

be enough clay after

all…or there may need

to be a deeper core

trench to build the

foundation for your

dam, or there may be

an old Model-T buried

six feet deep in mucky

silt from yesteryear’s

filled-in creek. Assume

the estimate is under-

estimated. A good rule

of thumb is to look at

your estimate, add

25% and hold on. Prepare for surprises.

Once past dam building or excavating

the hole, remember you are building a

pond…not just a dam. The dam has a job.

Its job is to impound and then release

excess water during heavy rains. That’s

what it does. It’s a structure, a device with

a purpose.

Inside, behind that dam, is a living,

breathing entity

that will take on

a brand new life.

Be sure the inside

o f y o u r n e w

pond has the best

habitat…not too

much and not

too little. That

habitat is based

on your goals. If

you want a bass

lake, design habi-

tat for bass and

its food chain. If

you want a duck

lake, make sure

there is shallow

water to grow

aquatic plants. If

you don’t want to

be dealing with

runaway aquatic

vegetation, make

sure the shoreline

all the way around the periphery gets to

deep water pretty fast, at least a 3 to 1

slope into water five feet deep or deeper.

Know preferred habitat and build it

This north central Texas pond was a dream pond that turned into a nightmare. Ques-tionable soils led to a leaky dam. Now, the pond drops 5-7 feet each summer, leav-ing the dock, and the landowner, high and dry.


PONDS

before the pond fills with water.

While all this percolates in your

brain, be thinking of amenities…before

the earthmover shows up. Want a dock,

maybe a boat ramp? Any swimmers in the

group? You may want a beach and a zip

line. Is ice fishing part of your life? Set it

up in the beginning, not as an after-

thought. Think of these things during the

planning stage.

Okay, you get the point. The biggest

mistakes people make are: Failing to plan.

Not knowing the watershed. Not under-

standing the importance of “good” soils.

Not hiring the ‘best’ contractor for that

specific job. Assuming the estimate is cor-

rect (hooray if it is). Understanding a liv-

ing pond…behind the dam. Forgetting

about the amenities.

Any more?

Once you build it, you aren’t finished.

A pond is ongoing, living, changing,

evolving. If you stock it with fish, prepare

to manage the fishery. If you build a

beach, prepare to weed it. There will be

maintenance to keep a pond pristine and

acting like the one you are dreaming

about. That’s part of the fun of having a

pond.

So, you’ve done it…all the home-

work, all the planning…and now you look

forward to those butterfly spring days

when you can head to the dock, dip a cane

pole line in the water with a hunk of

nightcrawler two feet under a red and

white bobber and wait for that telltale

plunge from a giant sparkling sunfish

accepting your offer.

One last mistake…don’t forget your

favorite beverage and a camera.

Because, when you make the trek to

pond’s edge, you’ll be able to relax and

enjoy the fruit of your planning and effort

rather than the somber feel as other people

mentally kick themselves for the mistakes

they made…and you didn’t.

Now all you have to keep your eye on

is that bobber. L&W

When the sun is shining, the tem-

peratures are rising and the waves

are crashing, beach-goers every-

where know it’s the call of the summer

season. But when the unexpected happens

and the beach is washed away, it’s the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers who are called

upon to help.

The unexpected happened in

November 2009, when Rockaway Beach,

located in Queens, N.Y., was hit hard with

a series of nor’easters that caused erosion

and severe damage to the beach. What

started out as a maintenance project for the

Corps of Engineers New York District,

quickly turned into an emergency restora-

tion project. “The Corps regularly main-

tains the federal navigation channel located

in East Rockaway Inlet by performing

maintenance dredging every two years,”

said Joe Olha, Corps project manager for

East Rockaway Inlet federal navigation

channel maintenance. “After we dredge the

channel, we place the sand in a location

where it will be the most environmentally

beneficial as well as cost effective; this is

usually between 26th and 36th streets on the

beach.”

But due to the damage that the

nor’easters caused, New York City Parks

and Recreation, the agency responsible for

managing Far Rockaway Beach, asked the

Corps to detour from their periodic main-

tenance location, and instead help build

up the most devastated beach area

between 92nd and 103rd street. “Following

the storm the beach was pretty much non-

existent in that area, especially during high

tide,” said Ji l l Webber, Rockaway

Administrator for NYC Parks and

Recreation. “We feared we wouldn’t be

able to open the beach during the summer

which would have been very sad because

it’s a very popular area.”

New York City Parks and Recreations

request didn’t fall on deaf ears and with a

determination to rectify the situation the

New York District Commander, Col. John

R. Boule along with Congressman

Anthony Weiner, committed to restore the

beach ASAP to be completed before the

official start of summer, Memorial Day

2010.

“When the Corps agreed to replenish

the beach we felt hopeful because it meant

that we would have a beach for the sum-

mer,” Webber stressed. “We know that

this isn’t a long term solution, the sand

will probably gone in a couple of years or

during the next big storm. But we know

we will have a beach for this season and

maybe next season,”

No Money, More Problems

Unfortunately, the request by

NYCPR didn’t come without its major

complications, the most crucial of them

all, money. The Corps only has $3 million

in funds allocated to pay for this cyclical

maintenance dredging and sand pumping

between 26th and 36th streets. Because

extra pipe would be needed to place the

sand further west, the Corps estimated

that an additional $1.5 million would be

needed to pump sand between 92nd and

103rd streets. These funds would have to

come from a non-federal sponsor. This

pushed the total project costs to $4.5 mil-

lion. Fortunately NYCPR agreed to be the

non-federal sponsor and pay the addition-

al $1.5 million needed to pump the sand;

unfortunately, $1.5 million was only the

initial government estimate.

Once the contractors, Great Lakes

Dredge and Dock (GLDD) came back

with the bid for the actual costs, it was

realized that it could actually take an addi-

tional $2.3 million, not $1.5 million to

pump the sand. Money NYCPR didn’t

have. This created an even bigger problem.

“ In order to beg in work , a

Contributed Funds Memorandum of

Agreement (CFMOA) needed to be signed

between the Corps and NYCPR. This

type of agreement does not require Corps

Headquarters approval and this was

crucial due to the time frame we had to

complete work,” stressed Olha. “The only

problem with a CFMOA is that the work

being performed needed to be $2 million

or less and the extra costs to pump the

sand was $2.3 million.”

The Corps continued to negotiate

with GLDD, in hopes of finding a solu-

tion to the money issue. But with time

ticking away decisions had to be made, so

the CFMOA was signed in hopes of

finding an alternative cost effective and

environmentally friendly solution.

Birds of a Feather

One of the Corps missions is to be

good environmental stewards by taking

into consideration the environmental con-

sequences of any Corps project and acting

accordingly. At Rockaway Beach there are

several endangered bird species that nest

along the beach during the spring months.

While looking for alternative cost effective

solutions to pumping the sand all the way

up to 103rd street, the Corps had to con-

sider the wildlife that could be affected by

their work. Because of this, options were

limited.

The alternative solution? Stockpile

the sand on 9th street and truck it all the

way to 92nd street. While this solution was

both environmentally friendly and eco-

nomical, keeping the additional project

costs less than $2 million; it wasn’t neces-

sarily the most time effective. To put it

into perspective; the amount of sand need-

ed to rebuild the beach is 121,000 cubic

yards. Each dump truck can carry a load

of approximately 15-20 cubic yards. It

would take between 6,000-8,000 truck-

loads of sand over several months to

replenish the degraded

beach, thus making the

date of completion closer

to August, instead of the

Memorial Day timeframe

that NYCPR was hoping

for. “It would take at least

three months to complete

the project by using trucks

to dump the sand on the

beach as opposed to pump-

ing the sand from a dredge,

which would only take a

couple of weeks to com-

plete or less,” said William

Vantertpool, a project engi-

neer for the Corps. “The

goal was to complete the

beach by Memorial Day; we would have

failed to accomplish that goal by using the

trucks.”

Life’s a Beach

Just as unexpected is what started this

project, unexpected is what made the proj-

ect move forward. According to the terms

of the contract between GLDD and the

New York District Corps of Engineers,

GLDD was obligated to begin work at

East Rockaway Inlet around February



The pipe in the foreground is discharging sand to re-nourish the eroded berm portion of the beach.

2010, but due to bad weather and other

contractual obligations, GLDD said they

would not be able to get their dredges to

East Rockaway until the end of April,

which would put them in violation of

their contract. Due to this unexpected

turn of events, the Corps was able to

negotiate with GLDD to provide the

dredging and sand pumping needed at a

reduced costs.

“It took some tough negotiations to

work out a solution agreeable to both par-

ties but what we were able to arrive at was

a solution that allowed Great Lakes to

mobilize the dredge at East Rockaway

Inlet much later than the Corps contract

required as long as they pumped the sand

directly to the Beach 92-103 street area

within our budget,” said John Tavolaro,

deputy chief of operations for the Corps

of Engineers New York District. “This

allowed Great Lakes to meet their goal of

avoiding a contract dispute and allowed us

to meet our goal of providing sand to the

beach erosion area prior to Memorial Day.

It was a win-win situation for everyone,

including beachgoers.”

On May 6, 2010, GLDD moved

their dredge in to East Rockaway Inlet and

began placing sand along the Rockaway

Beach coastline. The dredging and sand

pumping only took 10 days to complete,

weeks before the Memorial Day weekend,

which met the goal date for NYCPR to

open the beach for the summer season.

Dredging was done by the hydraulic cut-

terhead dredge “Alaska”. The hydraulic

cutterhead dredge worked by lowering a

large diameter pipe to the bottom, with a

large rotating cutting head on the end,

much like a large drill bit. The cutting

head dug into the bottom and hydraulic

pumps brought the sand up through the

pipe, into a longer pipeline that extends all

the way to the beach. Once there, the sand

was deposited and spread around by bull-

dozers. The beach was filled with sand

using the pipe as it moved around the

entire area of the beach. The work

involved about a dozen people on the

dredge (masters, mates, deckhands), a

beach crew of about seven or so people

(welders, machine operators, laborers),

and tug and tender crews (4-5 people) to

move people and tend to the pipeline.

Though the chances of the sand even-

tually washing away again is high, for the

interim, it will serve its purpose by provid-

ing a well restored beach. “There’s no

question this is a short-term solution,”

said Olha. “It’s Mother Nature that will

wash the sand back into the water - nature

rules”.

But, until a more long-term solution

can be built, NYCPR is just happy to have

a beach for the 2010 season.

“We dealt with a lot of struggles and

many obstacles along the way to get this

project completed,” said Webber. “But, in

the end it all worked out. There were a lot

of people that came together from the

Corps, and the city to make sure this

project got completed and the beach was

ready for the summer and we are just

thrilled. We have a beach this season, sand

for people to lie on and even a place to

put a lifeguard stand. The Corps of

Engineers New York District has just done

a wonderful job. It’s terrific.” L&W

HYDROSEEDING


Th ere Once Was a Hydroseeder from Nantucket...Tough conditions bring new challenges for island contractor

Formerly the world’s leading whaling

port, the historic island of Nantucket,

Massachusetts, is now a popular des-

tination for many summer residents and

tourists. Although its clientele has changed

dramatically, the island still refl ects its

proud tradition, as it features one of the

highest concentrations of pre-Civil War

structures in the U.S. Along with this tra-

dition comes a high desire to maintain the

landscape and preserve the beauty of the

island by keeping up the vegetation.

For seeding and irrigation services on

the island’s expensive properties, many res-

ident s turn to

Wate r work s o f

Nantucket, a con-

tractor that works

exclusively in the

area. The company

was founded in

1996 after Seth

Rutherford, presi-

dent, partnered

with Joseph Lake

and Christopher

Bistany to subcon-

tract an irrigation

p r o j e c t f o r

Rutherford’s father,

a general contrac-

tor. Today, the

company employs

1 0 f u l l - t i m e

employee s and

typically hires a

couple more work-

ers during summer

months. It fre-

quently completes

jobs on many large, high-profile estates –

both ocean-front and inland – so it is

accustomed to meeting high demands and

tough challenges. But in the summer of

2010, the area was hit with unusually

tough weather, which gave the company

the biggest challenge it had ever experi-

enced.

Nantucket Island maintains a flat

topography, and most of the soil is very

sandy, except a small portion on the

northern part of the island, which has very

heavy clay. And due to the area’s climate,

hydroseeding and irrigation services go

hand-in-hand. A lack of rainfall and expo-

sure to salt and high winds present huge

obstacles for growing vegetation on the

island. In fact, the island only averages

37.4 inches of precipitation per year,

which is about 10 inches less than the

mainland receives. “On 99 percent of the

places we hydroseed, we also irrigate,” said

Rutherford. “Without irrigation it’s hard

to get grass established here.”

Since starting the business with part-

ners Lake and Bistany, Rutherford has

found great success in using hydromulch

slurries for seeding in Nantucket’s unusual

condi t ions . He

uses a variety of

seed mixes, from

standard lawn mix-

tures to reclaim

mixes. Oftentimes,

he uses multiple

mixes on a single

job by installing a

l awn and then

using a more natu-

ral seed as a buffer.

“We irrigate our

lawn mixes, and

then we instal l

reclaim between

the lawn and the

scrub oaks and

other low-growing

t r e e s , ” s a i d

Rutherford. “This

helps soften the

transition from the

l a w n t o t h e

woods.”

For rec la im

Waterworks of Nantucket faces tough hydroseeding challenges due to the island’s climate.


HYDROSEEDING

mixes, Rutherford typically uses panicum,

weeping love grass or wildflower seed

mixed with a type of fescue. Besides using

these mixes as a buffer on private proper-

ties, he often uses them for projects initiat-

ed by the Nantucket Islands Land Bank, a

land conservation program created to

manage the protected land that covers

much of the island.

Also, on some of the largest estates on

the island, many customers often ask for

meadows to be installed on their proper-

ties to maintain a natural, rustic look.

These, too, are typically seeded with wild-

flower mixes or warm summer grasses, like

panicum or weeping love grass. While love

grass is actually considered an invasive spe-

cies, it is popular on Nantucket meadow

installations because it is one of the few

plants that look nice without needing irri-

gation. For wildflower mixes, Rutherford

prefers to do his hydroseeding in

September, which allows broadleaves to

develop the following year, and the flowers

start to appear in the spring after two

years. Warm summer grasses, which are

more popular for their drought-resistant

features, are typically seeded in July and

August. And for mulch, Rutherford uses

Conwed Fibers, which he has grown most

comfortable to using over the years

because its water-retention abilities have

been proven in Nantucket’s dry climate.

With any job Rutherford conducts,

he also must get seed to germinate by

using only a small amount fertilizer. This

is due to a new best management practice

currently being drawn up by the town in

an effort to ensure safe water supplies. By

restricting the amount of fertilizer that can

be used, Nantucket hopes to protect its

important harbors and freshwater ponds

from contamination.

To perform all hydroseeding jobs,

Rutherford uses two Finn HydroSeeders®:

a T-120 skid-mounted model and a T-90

trailer-mounted unit, which were pur-

chased from hydrograsscorp.com, a dealer

for New England and New York. These

machines proved to be ideal, since they

consistently spray wood fiber and other

tough materials. This ability to spray

wood fiber was an important factor for

dealing with the dry climate, since wood

has longer fiber lengths and allows better

com. “That’s something that machines

with jet agitation cannot do.”

For years, the hydroseeders reliably

helped Waterworks of Nantucket operate

like “clockwork” without breakdowns and

with great performance. But then came

the summer of 2010, when an abnormal

string of extreme heat and humidity

changed the way the company approached

hydroseeding. Compared with 2009,

Nantucket’s average temperature for June

was almost 12 degrees warmer. July also

saw unusually high temperatures more

than five degrees higher than the previous

year’s average.

“As beneficial as hydromulch is most of

the year, it became the perfect breeding

ground for fungus,” said Rutherford. This

was caused by a combination of the moist

hydromulch slurry, the irrigation and high

humidity in the air. The hydromulch

couldn’t be kept too dry, either, or else the

scorching sun would cook the seeds.

Because the weather presented such a

challenge to Rutherford’s hydroseeding

projects, he was forced to bring all of his

summer seeding jobs to a halt before the

Fourth of July. “The heat shut us down,”

he said. “It got so hot that we weren’t able

to seed and get good results.” Therefore,

Sure, the new TITAN HydroSeeder® from FINN was built for bigger jobs – but more than that, it’s designed to perform better than anything else on the market. Featuring a 170-horsepower engine, spraying distances up to 320 feet, and three agitators to mix tougher materials faster, the TITAN provides the fl exibility to cover hard-to-reach areas and the power to tackle the most demanding applications.

HYDROSEEDING


Rutherford for hydroseeding projects, he

recommended that they seed by hand. “I

wasn’t going to take on any project until I

knew I could do a good job,” he said.

Fortunately, Rutherford was able to

cover a lot of ground with his hydroseed-

ers before the heat and humid-

ity stopped his operation.

“The Finn machines worked

all day long without any issues

– even in hot weather,” he said.

To ensure all hydro-

seeding jobs developed proper-

ly despite the tough condi-

tions, Rutherford sent out

crews every day to perform

checks and adjust the irriga-

tion settings as needed. The

goal was to keep the hydro-

mulch dry enough to avoid

fungus, but wet enough to ger-

minate under the hot sun.

Weeds presented anoth-

er challenge during the early

summer months. “It was next

to impossible for a couple

weeks,” said Rutherford. “It

was a very difficult year to

match the irrigation levels with

the hydromulch and weather

conditions.”

Unfortunately, Rutherford wasn’t able

to salvage all of his summer hydroseeding

applications. The areas that were complet-

ed the week before the Fourth of July were

lost to a blight, so the hydroseeders had to

be brought back into action in the fall to

quickly redo these jobs.

Despite the harsh conditions,

Rutherford achieved success with his other

hydroseeding applications and new vegeta-

tion came in uniformly. With daily checks

and irrigation adjustments, the company

avoided major fungus problems in its

hydromulch, while promoting healthy ger-

mination.

Now that summer has passed, it’s

back to business as usual. In fact,

Rutherford still expects to put down two

full trailers of mulch by the end of the

year – even after his summer hydroseeding

hiatus. Now, he just hopes that winter is

the only reason he’ll ever need to put his

hydroseeders away again. L&W

HABITAT RESTORATION

North Wind’s Weir Intertidal Restoration Project

K ing County Department of Natu-

ral Resources and Parks in partner-

ship with the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers (USACE) and the Washington

State Department of Natural Resources

completed construction of an intertidal

restoration project on the lower Duwamish

waterway within the City of Tukwila,

Washington in April 2010. Th e project site

is located south of the City of Seattle in a

critically important “transition zone” with-

in the Green-Duwamish watershed where

young Pacifi c salmon complete the process

of transforming from the freshwater phase

to marine phase of their complex life his-

tory. Development of the lower river has

all but eliminated the extensive wetlands,

salt marsh, mudfl at and similar habitats

once present within this zone. Researchers

have concluded that the loss of this type of

habitat reduces the fi tness of the juvenile

salmon entering the ocean environment

and ultimately results in fewer returning as

adults. Restoration of this type of estuarine

habitat has been identifi ed as critically im-

portant to the recovery of depleted salmon

populations in the Pacifi c Northwest.

The September 2010 issue of Land

and Water featured background informa-

tion and detailed the first phase of con-

struction of this project. In this article,

the final phase of construction including

grading, connection to the river and large

woody debris placement will be described.

In addition, this article contains reflec-

tions and lessons learned about design and

construction intended to provide insight

to future designers and project proponents

dealing with similar circumstances or con-

ditions.

Project Overview

The North Wind’s Weir Intertidal

Restoration project was designed to create

approximately three acres of off-channel,

shallow water resting and rearing habitat

in the Duwamish River ‘transition zone,’

essential for salmon recovery. This was to

be accomplished by excavating fill material

from a vacant industrial site adjacent to

the river to establish elevations that would

be subject to regular tidal influence and

inundation and connected to the river via

an inlet/outlet channel. On in-coming

tides, the site was designed to fill with

water through the tidal channel, flooding

the mudflat and marsh areas. At higher

tides, water would also enter the site across

a peninsula of mudflat and marsh along

the northern half of the property and

inundates the entire site. The slopes and

elevations were designed for the mudflats

and marsh to drain completely at the low-

est tides, but the connection channel was

intended to remain filled except for

extremely low tides. The project created

approximately 1.66 acres of shallow inter-

tidal habitat during an average high tide

and 0.72 acres during an average low tide.

The excavated area would provide a

combination of habitat types including

mudflat, emergent marsh, and riparian/

upland area. The project design involved

the removal of 365 feet of shoreline pro-

tection along with roughly 65,000 cubic

yards of soil, construction debris and other

material used to fill the site in the past.

Phase II Construction

Construction of Phase II began in

October 2009 under the direction of

Construction Engineering Division of the

Northwest Area Office of the US Army

Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Corps

of Engineers provided contract adminis-

tration as well as direct construction man-

agement and inspection for the duration

of the project. Over the course of 12

weeks, the contractor removed approxi-

mately 35,000 cubic yards of soil, concrete

rubble and construction debris remaining

on the property. The contractor was also

responsible for installation of logs as habi-

tat features and connecting the site to the

Duwamish River. Planting was completed

as part of a separate effort by others.

During excavation, the contractor

encountered a large volume of foundry

slag buried onsite. Slag had been found

during preliminary soil investigations and

Phase I excavation, but the volume uncov-

ered during the Phase II was much larger

than expected. The material had previous-

ly been tested and determined to be

“clean”, but its presence caused a short

delay in construction because handling

This April 2009 photo looking downstream shows the northern half of the berm installed near the end of Phase I construction. Coir fabric and straw are used to reduce erosion. The patch of green visible to the left of the berm is a naturally oc-curring emergent marsh adjacent to the site.

and disposal of this material that was not

explicitly covered in the contract. To

avoid a protracted delay, the sub-contrac-

tor moved the slag off site to their storage

yard until mutually agreeable terms could

be reached. Resolution of this issue took

several months, but ultimately a contract

modification was issued to compensate the

contractor for the additional cost and

effort.

Isolation from the River

Isolation of the work area during

Phase II construction was of critical

importance in this tidally influenced reach

of the river. With daily tidal fluctuations

ranging from 8 to 12 feet, the isolation

berm constructed near the end of phase I

was left in place until the very end of con-

struction to provide relatively dry working

conditions for the equipment and crews,

to prevent erosion of the exposed slopes

and to minimize impacts to fish and wild-

life using the river environment. Even

with the site isolated from the river, the

construction crew needed to manage

groundwater entering the site from the

upland areas to the east and river water

seeping through the berm and underlying

soils. This was less of a problem around

the perimeter of the site where planned

elevations were well above typical ground-

water and river elevations, but grew

increasingly difficult near the planned

entrance to the site (mudflat and tidal

channel) that were designed to be at or

below mean lower low tide.

To deal with the water, the crew

divided the site into two roughly equiva-

lent halves with a raised access road con-

structed in between. The crew found that

pumping water from one cell to the other

afforded them access and sufficient time to

complete the grading and installation of

the log habitat structures in all but the

lowest elevations. Working at night to be

in sync with the lowest possible tides, the

crew was able to limit the amount of water

they needed to manage. The combination

of these strategies allowed them to com-

plete grading without need of portable

sedimentation tanks or discharging turbid

water into the river.

Habitat Features

Once the majority of the grading was

complete, the contractor placed eighty-six

logs at specified elevations across the site

to serve as habitat elements. The design

called for use of conifer logs (specifically

Douglas fir or western red cedar) with

minimum lengths of 25 feet and diameters

ranging from 12 to 20 inches measured at

breast height (dbh). The majority of the

logs were required to have a large root ball

attached. Large logs that fall into the

water from adjacent riparian forests are a

common component of northwest rivers

and serve to create complex channel con-

ditions, variable flow velocities and cover

for juvenile salmon that would otherwise

be more susceptible to predation from

birds and larger fish. Whether indepen-

dent or in naturally occurring jams, these

logs also create areas of slow water where

fish can get out of the current to rest while

waiting for food items to drift by in the

faster current. In the tidal environment,

wood is also used by a variety of insect,

birds and a myriad of aquatic organisms

that utilize the intertidal habitat.

The logs were generally placed in

clusters of three to five pieces to provide

three dimensional cover across a wider

range of tidal conditions. The site is sub-

ject to regular tidal fluctuations (up to 12

feet) but not direct river current and

therefore the logs required anchors to hold

them in place. The final design called for

two earth anchors per log to offset the

natural buoyancy force of each log with a

factor of safety of 3 (three times the capac-

ity). Over time, the logs are expected to

become waterlogged and the anchors will

simply prevent them from moving out

with the tides.

Connection to the River

After carefully evaluating the condi-

tions, tidal cycles and construction

options, the contractor proposed a con-

nection sequence that would remove the

berm in stages. The first stage was

planned to occur in the northern half of

the site where the finish grades along the

river’s edge were close to the mean high

water line. After completing the final

grading and site stabilization within that

area, the crew installed a floating silt cur-

tain with a weighted toe within the river

along the length of the property. In addi-

tion, the crew left the construction access

road bisecting the interior of the site intact

as an interim barrier; protecting the south-

ern half of the site from inundation from

lower level tides. With these measures in

place, the berm along the northern half of

the site was removed during a series of

lower than average tides when the crew

could complete the work without entering

the water. Removal of the northern half

of the berm was completed without inci-

dent and water entered the site for the first

time on December 4th on the incoming

tide. By opening the site on the incoming

tide, the potential for elevated turbidity

levels or sediment transport downstream

was significantly reduced.

With the northern half of the berm

gone, the contractor worked quickly to

finalize grading on the south end includ-

ing removal of the central access road. No

longer isolated from the river, the contrac-

tor relied upon a floating silt curtain held

in place at the upper end by large woven

fabric bags filled with gravel. The bags

were placed at the upstream end of the

planned river connection and extended

from the bank to a natural rock weir with-

in the river. The silt curtain was extended

downstream along a relatively shallow,

natural depositional area and tied into the

HABITAT RESTORATION

bank downstream of the construction

area. The bags were intended to help

reduce and divert high velocity flows and

create a shadow of slower water behind the

curtain that would be less likely to cause

erosion and increase opportunity for set-

tling of suspended materials. Although

both the curtain and bags were generally

effective, the alternating rising and falling

tides made use of the curtain a challenge.

The contractor and inspectors were con-

scientious about monitoring water quality

and maintaining effective erosion control

and therefore the system worked as

intended.

At the upstream and downstream

ends of the site, the design called for a

limited amount of angular rock to tie into

existing protection measures on adjacent

banks. In both locations, the team incor-

porated bioengineering elements including

coir fabric lifts, large wood and native veg-

etation where possible to create stable, yet

more habitat friendly banks.

Planting

The project included installation of

trees, shrubs and emergent species to

establish native plant communities and

stabilize the areas disturbed during con-

struction. The plant species selected were

a combination of species native to western

Washington that are specifically adapted

to intertidal and riparian areas. Prior to

planting, four inches of compost was tilled

into the upper foot of soil within the

riparian zones to improve soil conditions.

Planting began in early February

2010 and was completed in April 2010.

People for Puget Sound, a Seattle based

non-profit restoration organization coor-

dinated the planting work using volun-

teers. Volunteers played a significant role

in the success of the planting effort with

HABITAT RESTORATION


454 individuals contributing 1578 hours

of labor over four separate events.

To reduce grazing by geese within the

newly planted marsh, a goose exclusion

system was installed over and around the

marsh areas. The exclusion system was

constructed of simple fencing materials

(wire mesh fencing, tee posts, cable ties

and rope) and installed by volunteers once

all the emergent vegetation was in place.

The exclusion system will remain in place

for a minimum of three years to allow the

marsh vegetation time to become estab-

lished before being exposed to foraging

geese.

The vegetation community, primarily

the emergent and scrub-shrub communi-

ties, are expected to adjust over time in

response to the changing site conditions.

To help account for this potential, these

communities were planted in elevation

bands that allow for the expansion and

contraction of those species as the site

evolves.

Challenges

Habitat restoration in an urban set-

ting faces many challenges. Some of these

are more obvious than others, but typical-

ly these areas are more highly constrained

by infrastructure and adjacent land uses,

may require additional effort to address

liabilities from past land uses, involve

smaller, more expensive properties and

have less potential to fully restore natural

processes that created and sustained

historic habitat conditions. While these

challenges are real and can easily derail a

project with limited funding and/or

support, it is a mistake to assume they are

less valuable, effective or necessary.

Overcoming this perception and the

temptation to avoid difficult projects or

constrained locations can also present a

substantial challenge for project propo-

nents and undermine the success of basin-

wide restoration efforts. Completing and

utilizing science based watershed assess-

ments are critical to understanding the

needs of the system as a whole and estab-

lishing appropriate restoration priorities.

Rel iabi l i ty of Pre l iminar y Si te

Assessments

Although the site was investigated for

potential contaminants prior to purchase,

preliminary tests conducted at that time

did not detect the higher concentrations,

volume or distribution of the oil, gas and

diesel-tainted soil that were ultimately dis-

covered on site. While it is always easy to

second guess the initial sampling effort

and approach, it is clear that the project

would have benefitted from additional soil

testing prior to acquisition. Testing and

sampling on a tighter and more consistent

grid would have aided in identifying

unsuitable materials and helped better

understand the engineering properties of

the underlying soil.

Shoreline Jurisdiction Expansion

In the State of Washington, develop-

ment near large bodies of water including

rivers is restricted by shoreline regulations.

Depending upon the type and condition

of the water body, the regulations limit the

type, location and height of uses within

200-feet of the shoreline. Under state

law, this regulatory zone moves with the

ordinary high water mark to ensure that

shoreline regulations remain relevant in

dynamic systems where channels migrate

and beaches shift in response to natural

forces. By physically moving the shoreline

to create the off channel feature, the regu-

latory zone expanded onto the adjacent

property that previously was not subject to

these regulations. Given the very high

value of industrial property in the area, the

potential detrimental effect could have

been significant. To eliminate this con-

flict, the City of Tukwila shoreline officials

and local partners went to the Washington

State Legislature to request changes to

state law. With unanimous, bipartisan

support, the law was changed in 2009 to

“grandfather” uses adjacent to restoration

sites.

Anchor Failure

After the site was connected to the

river, several of the anchors began to show

evidence of failure (pulling toward the sur-

face). Initially the failure was modest, but

over the course of a few months, many

anchors had pulled up in excess of 3 feet

causing the logs to move and damage the

solid rods used to connect the logs to the

anchor mechanism buried in the soil. The

cause of the failure was not conclusively

determined, but a combination of poor

soil conditions at the depth of installation,

lack of testing of anchor holding capacity

during installation, and the dynamic forc-

es resulting from tidal fluctuations were

determined to be the most likely causes.

The use of a rigid rod from the anchor

itself to the surface was also identified as a

likely compounding factor.

Ultimately, the team concluded that

the anchors needed to be larger, installed

deeper (minimum of 15 feet) to reach

more suitable material and be connected

to the surface with flexible cable. After

field testing their holding capacity, the

new anchors were installed in April 2010.

Since they were installed, the anchors have

shown no signs of failure.

Lessons learned

The North Wind’s Weir restoration

project ultimately took over ten years to

complete from concept to final construc-

tion. Ironically, the majority of the time

was not spent on design, permitting or

construction, but on agreeing to real estate

values, negotiating and approving partner-

ship agreements, addressing unanticipated

obstacles and raising money. As is often

the case, these complications are com-

pounded when dealing with partnership

projects that do not have clear decision

making and approval procedures .

Although the team made every effort to

anticipate and plan for everything that

might arise, numerous challenges and

obstacles were encountered that caused

both increases in cost and an expansion of

schedule. Project proponents, funding

agencies and other stakeholders need to

understand that these types of obstacles

are fairly common and therefore need to

set realistic expectation for project sched-

ules and costs.

Funding

Funding for the project came from a

variety of sources including the US Army

Corps of Engineers, the Washington

Recreation and Conservation Office

(SRFB, PSAR &ALEA grants), the King

Conservation District, King County and

the cities of Seattle and Tukwila. If not

for the continued support of the local

Green-Duwamish Watershed Ecosystem

Forum (WRIA 9) and local funding part-

ners, the project would not have been

possible.

The team would also like to thank

the staff from People for Puget Sound and

the 454 volunteers who collectively con-

tributed more than 1600 hours of labor to

complete the planting effort. Cooperation

and assistance provided by the City of

Tukwila, the employees of the Boeing

Company and Pacific Strapping, Inc were

also critical to completion of the project.

The partners want to thank these dedicat-

ed citizens and organizations for their

commitment to making the site and the

lower Duwamish a better place for fish

and the community as a whole. L&W

LAND IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTORS OF AMERICA


M any of us think projects created

through the Administration’s

America’s Recovery and Reinvest-

ment Act only target road construction,

public safety, community centers, public

schools and health care facilities, or other

highly visible activities in our communi-

ties. However, some Recovery Act projects

are less visible, but still play an important

role – benefi tting us economically and en-

vironmentally.

One of those Recovery Act projects less

visible in Illinois focuses on restoring our

fl oodplains along important streams and

rivers. Th ese projects create recreational

areas for activities such as bird watching.

Th ey may enhance communities with

added fl ood protection; fewer taxes for

repairing fl ood damaged roads, buildings

and broken levees. Th e benefi ts are felt

downstream too with less sediment and

hazardous material being carried by con-

centrated fl ows of fl oodwaters.

Th e USDA Natural Resources Con-

servation Service (NRCS) used Recovery

Act funding to off er landowners the Emer-

gency Watershed Protection - Floodplain

Easement Program (EWP-FPE). “We of-

fered them a chance to take cropland in

fl ood prone areas out of production,” said

Bill Gradle, NRCS State Conservationist,

“and restore the land back to the histori-

cal fl oodplains they once were.” To qualify,

cropland must have been fl ooded at least

twice in the past 10 years or once in the

past 12 months. “Illinois saw an unprec-

edented amount of rainfall in 2008, which

allowed many landowners to re-think

planting crops on those wet areas again the

next year,” said Gradle.

NRCS approved 11 sites in nine

Illinois counties. Ultimately, these projects

will bring more than $5 million to the State

in order to acquire and restore the fl ood-

plains. Easements were purchased from

private landowners and land owned and

managed by a county forest preserve dis-

trict. Th e easements ranged in size from 27

to 331 acres and are located along streams

and rivers that fl ow into the Illinois River

and Mississippi River Watershed Basins.

“In the southeastern part of the state,

we have several projects that are especially

exciting,” said NRCS Biologist Dave Hiatt.

“Th ree easements located along the Wabash

River in Clark County join together with

existing projects and will create fi ve miles

of restored fl oodplains. Another easement

in Lawrence County is located with a con-

tiguous area of 453 acres in the Embarras

River fl oodplain.” When established, these

contiguous wetlands will off er signifi cant

benefi ts for wildlife, provide fl ood preven-

tion downstream, and protect water quality.

Floodplains in Urban Areas

Kendall County, a neighbor to subur-

ban Chicago, was one of the fastest devel-

oping counties in the nation during 2000

to 2008. With the increased population

and construction, future options for open

spaces and natural areas were threatened.

Th e Kendall County Forest Preserve Dis-

trict has made strides in protecting many of

these natural areas. Th e Recovery Act proj-

ect will assist the District in their mission.

Th e District was formed in 1964, but

became most active in the mid-90s. Jason

Pettit, Director of the Kendall County

Forest Preserve District said, “Th e District

owns 2,400 acres scattered throughout

the county. Th e District purchases land

that is generally located along creeks and

rivers.” Restoration of these areas will pro-

vide quality habitat for many species and

reduces erosion and sediment downstream.

Native plants in some locations have had

time to rejuvenate and wildlife populations

are on the increase.

Th e Forest Preserve’s Recovery Act

project includes 27 acres out of 300 acres

at Millbrook North Forest Preserve. Th e

fl oodplain runs along the Fox River and

fl oods most springs. “I came out earlier to

look over the area and an osprey fl ew by,”

said Pettit. “You will see eagles following

the river and other birds. Th is area is locat-

ed in a major fl yway for migrating birds.”

Th e area will be planted this fall with

prairie grasses and forbs to include: 1) na-

tive grasses - Big Bluestem, Fox Sedge, and

Bristly cattail Sedge; and 2) native forbs –

New England Aster, Prairie Blazing star,

and black-eyed Susan. Th e project funding

will be used to purchase seeds and a local

contractor will do the planting.

Th e Forest Preserve District is able to

reestablish areas like these when funding

is available. “We do what we can, but the

Recovery Act funding has helped us do

it quicker,” said Pettit. “Our staff of 12 is

spread around the county and is sometimes

stretched beyond their expertise. NRCS

and the Soil and Water Conservation Dis-

trict (SWCD) have been good partners.

Th ey have the expertise in helping us do

our part.”

Since the recession began, Kendall

County growth has slowed down. Megan

Andrews, Resource Conservationist for the

Kendall County SWCD, said the slow-

down may be a good thing for the county

resources. “I think it gives communities

the opportunity to take a closer look and

start planning for future needs. When resi-

dents see these natural areas, they are ener-

gized. Th ey begin to realize the importance

of preserving those areas, not only for wild-

life, but because it off ers them a place to go

and enjoy the outdoors.”

NRCS and LICA team up on Wetlands

Not all fl oodplain applications were ac-

cepted into the Recovery Act project. How-

ever, there is another program landowners

with wet or fl ood-prone areas might con-

sider. USDA-NRCS administers the Wet-

lands Reserve Program, or WRP. It is of-

fered year round and allows landowners to

establish long-term conservation and wild-

life practices and protection. Landowners

and NRCS work together to develop a plan

for the restoration and maintenance of the

wetland.

Th e NRCS often works with Illinois

Land Improvement Contractor Associa-

tion (LICA) contractors for earthmoving

and/or construction work on wetland res-

toration and other projects. Depending on

how the contract is set up, either NRCS or

the landowner will hire the contractor. In

Illinois, LICA contractor Norman Kocher,

owner of Cfco, has worked on many WRP

projects over the years.

Kocher’s association with NRCS goes

back to 1978. He worked with the agency

Crawford County, IL WRP site where Norman Kocher’s company performed restoration work.Norman Kocher, owner of Cfco.



and landowners in several counties along

the Wabash River in both Illinois and Indi-

ana. Th e size of the wetland projects range

from 40 to 400 acres. For one of the more

recent wetland restorations in Crawford

County, Kocher’s company constructed

two low-level berms to impound shallow

water which can be managed with water

control structures and performed wetland

excavations that mimic an oxbow lake.

Wetlands, or “duck ponds” as Kocher calls

them, is not just a job, but he sees some

benefi ts for himself and others. “I like to

hunt, my sons like to hunt, and my grand-

kids like to hunt. It gives us a recreation

area too.” When asked how landowners

react to his wetland restorations, he said

sometimes they have a hard time pictur-

ing what it will look like. “Once they see it,

they’re usually very happy,” he adds.

Illinois LICA holds workshops annu-

ally, which include NRCS personnel who

discuss new innovations, federal program

opportunities, projects and other informa-

tion. “We work together a lot. We work

well together too.” Kocher says. “Th e meet-

ings are very benefi cial for both parties.”

At a speaking engagement on ‘Trials

and Tribulations of the Contractor’, Ko-

cher said he was very adamant on how to

be successful has a contractor; “You must

diversify.” He does just that in his own

business. Cfco does more than just wetland

restorations. To add to their list of work,

Cfco installs drainage tile, constructs ter-

races, and performs other tasks to install

conservation practices on the land.

Participants in WRP may enter into a

conservation easement or enter into a cost-

share restoration agreement with USDA.

Th e program off ers landowners three op-

tions: permanent easements, 30-year ease-

ments, or restoration cost-share agreements

(minimum 10-year duration). So there are

solutions for every situation. L&W

Exclusive National LICA Benefits

National LICA Magazine

The LICA Contractor was launched in 2007 and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. This quarterly publication is being used to keep LICA members up to date in their industry, as well as to highlight our members’ unique and challenging projects.

LICA Contractor Safety

Management Plan

The LICA Contractor Safety Management Plan is sent to all LICA contactors. This is a comprehensive Safety Program which is personalized for each contractor member.

LICA PerksCard Program

The LICA PerksCard provides members with discounts to a host of stores and entertainment venues, both locally and nationally. Each LICA contractor receives a LICA PerksCard FREE and has the option to obtain more cards for their employees and/or family.

LICA BizPlan

Participating LICA members can average $2,450 in tax savings with the LICA BizPlan. As a small business owner, LICA members can deduct 100% of their health care costs by participating in BizPlan. Many business owners believe that they can already deduct 100% of their health care costs. Not true, unless they have signed on with BizPlan. Unlike the government’s plan, with BizPlan, LICA members can deduct 100% of their family health insurance premiums, as well as uninsured medical, dental and vision care expenses, employee disability, and term insurance premiums. These deductions apply to federal, state and self-employment taxes!

LICA FlexSystem

The LICA FlexSystem helps participating LICA members save an average of $300 per employee, every year, in payroll taxes and create a more comprehensive benefits package for their employees by using a flexible spending account program. With FlexSystem, employees pay for medical, dental, vision and childcare expenses using pre-tax dollars. That means LICA contractor members can provide better benefits to their employees at a lower cost to their company and employees.

Term Life and AD&D Insurance

The LICA contractor receives $5,000 Term-Life and $5,000 Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage as a benefit of membership. Some age restrictions apply.

National Scholarship Program

Each Year the national scholarship committee awards scholarships to students who have been accepted or attend a college, trade school, or an accredited school and maintain a 2.5 grade average on a 4.0 scale or equivalent.

LICA Retirement Program

The LICA membership is diverse and includes contractors of all sizes. LICA has found and adopted a plan with every feature available in the retirement world built in. The member can tailor the plan design to fit exactly what fits their business model and personal need. The unique design is built to allow each user to fashion the plan to their needs.
