» Post-Remedial Restoration Strategies

GEE provided support to a large industrial client on aspects of the ecological components of the reuse of a post-industrial site on the Quinnipiac River in Connecticut.  This included providing an ecological/wetland assessment of the site and developing a conceptual habitat restoration site design.

GEE’s proposal added both habitat value and stormwater treatment to the remediation plan.  Target species for the restoration work included neo-tropical migratory birds and herpetofaunal communities.  GEE scientists also participated in a series of stakeholder focus groups and community meetings. The site, through coordination with local governments and the environmental community, is poised to become a prime environmental education center along the Quinnipiac River.
