Sandy Bottom Nature Park

Williamsburg Environmental Group, Inc. (WEG) is working as a subcontractor to KCI Technologies providing environmental monitoring, testing and reporting on a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project in Hampton, Virginia. This project involved the creation of 52 acres of wetland at Sandy Bottom Nature Park.

During recent local highway construction, VDOT disturbed existing wetlands and agreed to create 52 acres of wetland at the Sandy Bottom Nature Park as part of their Mitigation Plan. During the initial construction phases of the wetland system in 2001, WEG provided monitoring services at four-hour intervals, 24 hours per day. Monitoring during the construction phase of the project consisted of continuous sampling of an assortment of water quality indicators, at both the construction site and at the receiving channel, to ensure that downstream water quality was not impaired by construction activities.

WEG is currently providing post-construction compliance monitoring and environmental services to ensure permit compliance and to assist in the development of wetlands at Sandy Bottom Nature Park. Tasks include hydrology monitoring, well maintenance, and data assessment, vegetation monitoring, photo-documentation, wildlife observation, soil/water pH, and an annual mitigation monitoring report.  WEG has also performed continued invasive species management on the current population of Typha latifolia (broad-leaf cattail) and Phragmites australis (Common Reed) through the end of 2010. WEG currently performs a weekly monitoring service including soil pH testing in the proposed wetland area as well as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH measurements at a construction holding area and the adjacent Newmarket Creek.
