The A&S staff has experience in managing/completing determinations for tracts ranging from 5 acres to 1500 acres; securing Corps of Engineers Section 404 and Section 10; and obtaining permits for projects, which include design of linear projects such as railroads and roads, land development projects, airport facilities, commercial site development, and water related projects such as drainage facilities and marina projects.

The specific project accomplishments are jurisdictional wetland area minimization for determinations of over 3500 acres, minimization of jurisdictional wetlands on infrastructure improvements such as bridges, culverts, drainage channels, detention ponds/basins, near shore improvements such as breakwaters, marinas, and greater than 13 miles of bulk heading.

Additional experience includes design of wetland mitigation areas for fresh water and marine areas of less than one acre up to 500 acres. Design examples include mitigation areas associated with linear projects such as rail lines and major roads, drainage channels, canal subdivisions, minimization of commercial development impacts on existing wetlands, marinas, golf course optimization, and public park lakes associated with educational demonstration wetlands.

The team's unique mitigation design experience includes the ability to incorporate hydrologic evaluations to existing wetland function, site runoff inflow and outflow, hydric soil function and inundation frequency, design of mitigation areas for specific planting regimes for emergent fringe and submergent aquatic vegetation. This design experience of greater than 75 mitigation areas includes bottomland hardwoods, fresh and marine emergent marsh, submerged pools with fringe wetlands, wetland polishing areas to reduce non-point runoff impacts, and linear vegetation areas on channels.
