Cannon Ridge Golf Course (Celebrate VA)

Working with former PGA Tour Commissioner, Deane Beman and Florida based architect Bobby Weed, Williamsburg Environmental Group, Inc. (WEG) prepared engineering plans and obtained local permits for the Cannon Ridge Golf Course within the Celebrate Virginia development. The construction plans addressed erosion and sediment control, drainage design, and treatment of sensitive areas including steep slopes adjacent to the Rappahanock River. Due to the proximity of the project to the Rappahanock and the input of local interest groups such as “Friends of the Rappahannock”, water quality was a significant concern for this project. To address this issue WEG used innovative design including the conversion of erosion and sediment control measures to provide permanent water quality treatment of runoff from the golf course and prepared a detailed integrated pest management plan. WEG also prepared site plans for the clubhouse and maintenance facility.

Cannon Ridge Prior to construction of the golf course, WEG assisted the Silver Companies in obtaining permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and state Department of Environmental Quality for the 1,642-acre Celebrate Virginia project. WEG water resource engineers also conducted a water availability study that investigated every potential water source, including on-site runoff and storage, groundwater wells, municipal supplies, treated wastewater, and withdrawals from the Rappahonock River.

The golf course was completed and opened for play in 2003. WEG provided construction oversight in regard to environmental and engineering issues throughout the construction period.
