As a national expert in the environmental monitoring and bioassessment of the aquatic community, EA also provides the full spectrum of Clean Water Act §316(a) and §316(b) services, including study plan development, agency negotiations, entrainment and impingement studies, benefit valuation, hydrographic surveys and modeling, Source Water Biological Baseline Characterization studies for all biotic categories, water quality monitoring and trend analysis, alternative technology performance studies, and alternate thermal standards development, demonstration studies, and expert witness testimony.
Habitat restoration designs were developed for multiple sites. Design features included shoreline stabilization, shoreline buffer restoration, near-shore substrate restoration, shoreline processes assessment, habitat restoration, stream restoration of over 3,000 linear feet of tributaries, and habitat enhancements in over 2 miles of county drain habitats.
EA assisted Kaukauna Utilities with licensing-related natural resources studies and associated natural resources support for relicensing facilities. The work has involved seasonal fish and qualitative mussel surveys; removal and relocation of fish and mussels that would be stranded by construction-related dewatering; and review of potentially contaminated sediment, downstream aquatic habitat, general wildlife use, aquatic and terrestrial invasive species, benthic macroinvertebrates, fish, and water quality assessments.
For more than 4 decades, EA has supported a power utility company with a local generating station via management of the 1600-acre Turtle Creek Reservoir. Scientists have performed annual biomonitoring, including fisheries surveys focused on primary production and a myriad of related aspects such as phyto/zoo plankton, benthic invertebrates, sediment and water chemistry, fish tissue, growth analysis, invasive species, watershed health and habitat inventories for the fish community.
