This STAC workshop will be structured around panel discussions on each of three themes: legacy sediment, riparian corridors, and total maximum daily loads, with three-four experts on the panel who will be asked to address specific questions and cite key evidence. These will be followed by group discussion and individuals designated as “synthesizers” will come […]
What is Legacy Sediment? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines legacy sediment as soil “that was eroded from upland areas after the arrival of early settlers and over the centuries of intensive land uses”, such as agriculture. This sediment accumulates along stream corridors, building up higher and higher as the years pass. Pennsylvania’s streams have […]
LandStudies designed and constructed the 11.5-acre floodplain restoration to restore an active, connected, and functional floodplain.
LandStudies has provided a wide array of technical services to the Maryland State Highway Administration
Restored 2,250 linear feet of stream/floodplain, relocated the channel back to the center of the valley, at the lowest elevation
Environmental engineers, geologists, botanists, landowners and F&M students provided years of research and monitoring that allowed this project to happen
LandStudies designed a floodplain restoration project to address the many needs of the community
This project contributed to reducing non-point source pollution and improving water quality in the Chiques Creek Watershed
LandStudies designed and constructed a 17-acre floodplain restoration project that addresses the many needs of the campus
LandStudies’ project along Kurtz Run in Lancaster County shows promise as an example of how floodplain restoration can result in improvement of hyporheic exchange within the system and how that improvement can benefit the health of the system. Issue One of the leading topics of discussion over the years in regard to stream health […]
