EA’s capabilities include sample collection and analysis, and environmental characterization in coastal and offshore waters. We offer a wide variety of marine and aquatic survey capabilities and standalone oceanographic services
EA was responsible for a multi-phase site investigation of soil, sediment, surface water, and groundwater. Our team developed tidally dynamic hydrology, hydrodynamic, and water quality models examining the fate and transport of contaminants discharged into Bear Creek.
St. Croix Island experiences some of the highest tides in the world. EA, with support from Engineering With Nature® (EWN®) completed an alternatives analysis, feasibility study and conceptual design that described the data collection and modeling efforts that were completed to support the applicability and feasibility of NBS approaches for addressing impacts of coastal erosion and sea level rise on natural and built infrastructure.
EA scientists collected samples to examine and conduct statistical evaluations on the benthic invertebrates and sediment chemistry located in the area around Masonville Cove, Maryland where dredged sediments from Chesapeake Bay are being placed in a dredged material containment facility. Collected benthic and epibenthic samples were collected, sorted and sent for analysis by a 3rd-party laboratory. The long-term monitoring program helps track potential impacts to the surrounding waters.
