Applied Fluvial
Geomorphology
Fitzgerald
Environmental Associates (FEA) is contracted by the Windham County
Natural Resources Conservation District to carry out Phase 1 and 2
geomorphic assessments following the VTANR protocols during 2008 and
2009. Phase 2 data collected by FEA along the mainstem and tributary
reaches will form the basis for Fluvial Erosion Hazard planning in
towns affected by past flooding and streambank erosion.
FEA and project partner Bear Creek
Environmental were selected to carry out the first large scale project
using the VTANR geomorphic assessment protocols in the state of
New Hampshire during 2008 and 2009. The project encompasses 48 river
miles within the Exeter River watershed, one of 15 rivers designated
for increased protection within the state. The effort will culminate
with the development of a watershed restoration plan in early 2009 to
address 3 sub- watersheds that do not meet NH state standards for
aquatic life use.
FEA is contracted by the Vermont RMP to carry out Phase 1 & 2 geomorphic assessments
within the Muddy Brook Watershed, spanning the towns of South Burlington, Shelburne, and Williston. The data collection and analysis will be completed during summer and fall, 2008.

Stormwater
Management
Shelburne Farms Stormwater - Northwestern VT FEA, in conjunction with Ecosolutions, LLC
,
is currently developing an ecologic stormwater design for the dairy
farm on the Shelburne Farms property. FEA has developed a runoff
analysis
for the site and is working with Ecosolutions, UVM, and Shelburne
Farms stakeholders to understand the site's pollutant loads and develop
a final the design to mitigate the farms impacts to downstream water quality. The design will incorporate Low Impact Design
principles and other innovative solutions for treating nutrients from the
farm site. Farrell Park Demonstration Project - Northwestern FEA worked with Ecosolutions, LLC on a demonstration project for an innovative stormwater design at Farrell Park in South Burlington, Vermont. Funded by the Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District, the design incorporated a series of sedimentation chambers with a gravel wetland cell to treat sediment-laden runoff flowing into Potash Brook.

Rose Hill Subdivision - Northern VT FEA carried out a stormwater runoff analysis
in conjunction with Ecosolutions, LLC
for a small subdivision in
Fairfax, Vermont. The design incorporated Low Impact Design
principles and achieved an Environmentally Sensitive Rural Design
Credit during the permitting process.
