Development, transportation, and energy-related projects often have the potential to impact aquatic resources. The accurate identification, evaluation, and mapping of these resources is a crucial first step in the permitting requirements of state and federal agencies. WallacePancher Group Environmental Scientists are well-versed in the local, state, and federal regulations that govern these resources. Our services range from initial site screenings through detailed delineations, sampling, and analysis.

Let the skilled professionals at WallacePancher Group help you avoid costly project delays with our Stream & Wetland services.

Here are some of the key elements of stream and wetland engineering:

Restoration -One of the major roles of a stream and wetland engineer is to restore degraded aquatic ecosystems. This involves stabilizing eroded stream banks, improving water quality, and re-establishing native plants and wildlife.

Design -In some cases, new streams and wetlands are designed and constructed. These environmental engineering services replace lost habitats, manage stormwater, and create recreational opportunities.

Hydrologic Analysis -Understanding the movement and distribution of water in a landscape is essential. This involves predicting flood events, modeling groundwater flow, and assessing the impact of changes in land use on water resources.

Ecology – A thorough understanding of ecology is required to design or restore a stream or wetland. This process entails identifying appropriate plant species for restoration, understanding the needs of local wildlife, and predicting how changes in the ecosystem will impact biodiversity.

Regulation and Compliance – There are numerous regulations relating to streams and wetlands, and an engineer in this field must ensure that all projects are in compliance.
