Affiliated Researchers provides oversight of hydrographic surveying as part of USEPA project
Spring 2009
As sub-contractor on a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes National Program Office environmental restoration project, AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS was contracted to provide third-party oversight of a pre- and post-dredging, real-time kinematic (RTK) differential GPS bathymetric survey on the Kinnickinnic River, Wisconsin.
With federal funding through the Great Lakes Legacy Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes National Program Office and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources partnered in an environmental restoration project that dredged contaminated sediments from a section of Milwaukee's Kinnickinnic River.
During 2009, this Kinnickinnic River project removed around 167,000 cubic yards of sediment contaminated with PCBs and PAHs between Becher Street and Kinnickinnic Avenue on the south side of Milwaukee. The Kinnickinnic River environmental restoration project is the result of many years of collaboration between EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, WDNR, the city and Port of Milwaukee, and local stakeholders including Business Improvement District #35.
AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS provided daily, onsite hydrographic expertise on this environmental restoration project, to include monitoring of hydrographic methods and findings, data compilation using HYPACK and AutoCAD software, and formal reporting.
