EA’s wetland ecologists have provided wetland delineation, study, creation, restoration, and management services across all 50 States and five territories.
EA wetland staff are experienced with all aspects of Clean Water Act Section 401 (water quality/chemistry) and Section 404 (wetlands and waters of the United States). Our wetland delineations and management plans are developed in compliance with legal mandates and directives.
EA developed a comprehensive approach to identify wetlands, waterways, and riparian habitats for restoration, enhancement, and protection. Desktop analyses were followed by field reviews and wetland delineations where appropriate. Conceptual design plans were developed for stream and wetland restoration opportunities at all sites.
EA was contracted by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) to provide wetland delineation, mitigation, monitoring, and permitting services in support of transportation projects. EA provided NDOT qualified wetland scientists with expertise in Midwest/Great Plains wetlands, USACE Section 404 permitting, and related regulatory compliance. EA services included wetland and Waters of the U.S. delineations, jurisdictional determinations, mitigation monitoring, completion of standard reports, creation of geographic information system geodatabases, and coordination with federal and state agencies for multiple task orders for sites throughout Nebraska.
Scotts Level Branch mainstem and an unnamed tributary were restored to provide water quality improvements, floodplain reconnection, wetland creation/ enhancement for stormwater detention and treatment, and wildlife habitat.
