Wetland Remediation

Williamsburg Environmental Group (WEG) provided environmental planning, monitoring and reporting services to remediate the accidental release of sediment into a non-tidal wetland system of Deerlick Branch, located in Henrico County .

WEG personnel provided regulatory support, meeting with Federal, State, and Local environmental agencies to develop a restoration plan to remove accumulated sediments from the wetland and to revegetate the area. By the use of hoses and high pressure water, sediment was re-suspended and washed to holding cells where it was pumped out of the wetland area, to upland holding ponds, where is was properly disposed of. WEG personnel were on site continuously during the initial phases of the cleanup operation, monitoring the operation as well as overseeing water quality monitoring at two-hour intervals. Monitoring reports with photo documentation were submitted to agency personnel weekly during the 55-week restoration process. Following the successful removal of accumulated sediments, the wetland area was re-vegetated utilizing an approved wetland seed mix.

WEG staff includes wetland professionals, soil scientists, regulatory specialists, engineers and landscape architects, in addition to our construction administration team. This group of environmental professionals has extensive experience in wetland restoration and remediation, from planning and permitting to construction and oversight of the project.
