Dover Township to achieve pollutant reductions through floodplain restoration to fulfill obligations of a Regional Pollution Reduction Plan.
LandStudies designed and constructed the 11.5-acre floodplain restoration to restore an active, connected, and functional floodplain.
LandStudies was hired by the Borough of Lititz to restore a wetland within the floodplain of Lititz Run that has been affected by historic human activity such as mill operations, channel straightening, road development and bridge construction, which have indirectly and directly led to the alteration and degradation of the stream and associated floodplain wetlands.
The project team developed a program that blends recreational uses with conservation training and demonstration
A comprehensive, community-based approach was developed to plan for recreation and economic development based on sound watershed management
We identified and implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) to fulfill goals of the Township’s Pollutant Reduction Plan (PRP).

A Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permitted community needs to monitor their system for potential illicit discharges, as we discussed last month. An illicit discharge can come from a leaking sanitary sewer or water main, illegal sewage connections, landscape waste like grass clippings and leaves, seasonal draining of swimming pools, residue from nearby concrete-related […]
Approximately three years ago, LandStudies (LSI) provided a green master plan, engineering, permitting, and related design services for “green infrastructure” improvements that will provide efficient management of urban stormwater runoff for Wrightsville Borough, York County, and improve the environmental function of the river corridor associated with the 11-acre Wrightsville Riverfront Park. LandStudies’ work piggybacked off […]
To Manage Stormwater Runoff, Don’t Forget to Look in the Mirror A lot of the work of stormwater management for a permitted Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) community deals with education and outreach to the public, developers, the construction industry, and others who may have an impact on runoff into nearby streams and rivers.
