David Flick, Principal and Founder, announces the firm has successfully completed a jurisdictional assessment of wetlands and other waters of the United States and the Clean Water Act permitting for the proposed Cedar Creek Sewer expansion in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. A total of 10,434 lineal feet of perennial stream, 270 lineal feet of intermittent stream, and 220 lineal feet of ephemeral stream channel were identified within the limits of the proposed sewer expansion. The US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit and Missouri Department of Natural Resources Section 401 Water Quality Certification required the avoidance of the majority of jurisdictional stream channels and restoration of stream banks and other disturbed areas.
Terra Tech designed the restoration plan to restore temporary impacts to perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream channels for construction of the proposed sewer. Restoration activities include stabilization of stream banks in the location of sewer impacts with rolled erosion control products, coir log toes, gabion toes, and native vegetation plantings. Additionally, all vegetation will be restored where it is disturbed within the sewer easement. Construction of the sewer project and restoration activities will begin in the spring of 2010.
