The Oakdale drainage area is located in the South Norfolk Historic District in the City of Chesapeake. This stormwater basin is primarily comprised of residential properties that were developed in the first half of the 20th century. In recent years, this area has begun to experience a higher frequency of flooding events, likely due to […]
Compound floods from the co-occurrence of multiple flood drivers like riverine flow, storm surges, sea-level rise, and extreme rainfall have impacted several cities across the United States (US) in recent years. Metropolitan areas located in the coastal regions of the US have become increasingly vulnerable to such flooding conditions due to their exposure to multiple […]
The science that supports constructed stream and floodplain environments to stimulate North American beaver colonization, and the effective implementation of that science, continues to evolve. KCI Technologies has been actively monitoring the scientific and engineering trends published by academic and public sector communities. This presentation will summarize KCI’s understanding of integrating beaver dam analogues (BDAs) […]
Identifying cost-effective opportunities to improve flooding conditions in urban settings is challenging. One residential neighborhood located along Congers Creek within Rockingham County has struggled with frequent flooding events involving structural and roadway flooding. Congers Creek is largely an open channel conveyance system with culvert crossings, but no FEMA floodplain has been mapped for the stream. […]
Under a Stream Stabilization/Restoration, Environmental, Permitting & Ancillary Services Basic Ordering Agreement, Stantec was awarded a Task Order by the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) to provide Stream Restoration and Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) Retrofit Design and Construction Administration services for the Leigh Meadow / Towlston Basin project in […]
This study investigates estuarine water quality response to coastal flooding in the Mason Creek in Norfolk, Virginia. The Mason Creek basin connects to Willoughby Bay which eventually reaches the Atlantic Ocean, serving as a primary drainage basin for both point and nonpoint source loadings from the Norfolk Naval Base and surrounding residential communities, and commercial […]
The Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) provides wastewater collection and treatment services to over 250,000 county residents in the Northern Virginia area. DPWES owns and operates over 3,250 miles of sewer collection system, 63 pump stations, and the Noman M. Cole, Jr. Pollution Control Plant with an available treatment capacity […]
Aging infrastructure and impacts from climate change have recently accelerated the need for maintenance and demolition of dams across the country. The College Lake Dam in the City of Lynchburg, Virginia is a local example of the threat that aging, outdated dams can pose to public safety and river health. In the last 50 years, […]
The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) has challenges protecting the health of the river as a result of runoff from land development, wastewater overflow, and impacts from the regulated water discharges of Buford Dam. To help better manage the river, the National Park Service needed to continuously document the streambank and channel conditions on […]
Glade Creek is a stocked trout stream in Roanoke County that was experiencing heavily eroding banks which caused high sediment loads to settle in the overly wide channel. The stream also had historical documentation of Roanoke log perch, a federally listed fish species. Restoration on Glade Creek was implemented to reduce erosion and to meet […]
The Virginia Lakes and Watershed Association is a volunteer organization and its mission is to provide education on water resources in Virginia.
