WEG provided environmental and engineering services for a new private golf course, the Snead Course, at the Greenbrier resort. The golf course is part of the Greenbrier Sporting Club residential community, a joint venture project between Dolan, Pollack & Schram Development Company and the Greenbrier. As most of the project site lies within a 100 year floodplain, WEG performed a comprehensive floodplain study of Howard Creek through the Greenbrier property and obtained a Conditional Letter of Map Revision from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). WEG worked closely with Fazio Golf Course Design to create a system of stream channels and depressions through the site. The channels and depressions provide the required flood conveyance/storage through the project and also generated fill material which was used to shape the golf course and raise the building pads above the 100 year flood elevation. WEG had an integral role in shaping and landscaping the channels to ensure a natural appearance as well as the depressions, which took the form of ponds or wetlands.

WEG also provided all civil engineering services related to the golf course, including drainage and erosion and sediment control design and obtained all required local, state and federal permits. WEG stream restoration specialists provided streambank stabilization/restoration planning and design for a section of Howard Creek . The project included over 2.5 miles of stream habitat and biological assessments, as well as over 4,000 linear feet of stream bank stabilization and trout habitat improvements. Instream habitat structures included cross vanes, j-hooks, lunker structures, and boulder clusters used in conjunction with bioengineering practices implemented along the stream bank and wetland pockets. WEG also designed the wetland mitigation for the project and provided inspections during construction of the golf course to ensure that the project would meet FEMA requirements.
