Our stream restoration work with AECOM - Water has begun! The project will protect stream banks from erosion, support lush vegetation, and create a thriving habitat for fish, ensuring a balanced and resilient ecosystem once the water is redirected. #WeAreRES #streamrestoration #AECOM
🌿 A New Chapter for Blackwater Creek 🌊 AECOM - Water Stream Team are on site performing full-time construction observation and inspection and we’re thrilled to announce a monumental leap in this ecological restoration phase of the project! With the College Lake Dam now removed after 90 years, we’ve unshackled Blackwater Creek, allowing fish to thrive and sediment to flow naturally once again in the City of Lynchburg. 🚧 Resource Environmental Solutions LLC is our dedicated construction crew on-site, embarking on the next phase: stream and wetland restoration. These innovative toe wood structures are being installed offline and once flows are diverted to the area are set to fortify the stream banks against erosion, all while nurturing vegetation and creating a sanctuary for fish. This isn’t just construction; it’s the emergence of life for Blackwater Creek, missing for decades. Stay tuned as we revive the heartbeat of this ecosystem! 🐟💧 #BlackwaterCreekWetlands #ecosystemrestoration #streamrestoration #NatureHeals Lynchburg Water Resources AECOM MBP (McDonough Bolyard Peck)
