restoration<\/h2>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman: (01:38)<\/strong><br \/>\nnow i want to break this down into each of the individual components. nicole, can you discuss the wetland creation enhancement portion of this project?<\/p>\n<p><strong>nichoel church (01:44)<\/strong><br \/>\nplacing these wetlands in strategic locations was the water quality improvement that we were looking for within linn county. for wanatee park specifically, it&#8217;s generally within the flood plain, so kind of flatter, but also there are some hill slopes surrounding the park. i think us placing these wetlands in strategic locations allowed us to improve more for less. there were smaller wetlands that could improve water quality throughout wanatee park rather than creating one larger wetland that was isolated in one specific area of the park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>patrick williams (02:19)<\/strong><br \/>\nyeah, i would say linn county had a grand vision in their mind once we kind of picked out these sites. so, what was fun about this project was taking their ideas and putting them on paper into something that they were happy with. a lot of the shapes of the wetlands and a lot of the design features, such as where water is coming in and where it&#8217;s going to leave in an overflow scenario, a lot of that came from linn county conservation, just because of knowledge and intimacy with the park. and being able to walk through the site with them to go over what their ideas and grand dreams were and being able to collaboratively put it onto paper and have something that both linn county and snyder and associates could be proud of was very rewarding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman (03:03)<\/strong><br \/>\nwas this project any different than typical wetland restoration projects that you work on?<\/p>\n<p><strong>nichoel church (03:07)<\/strong><br \/>\nit was in the sense that the county was very open to improvement locations, and they had a general idea of what they wanted and locations that they wanted, but they didn&#8217;t have a certain threshold. you know, we want to create x number of wetlands. we want to do this. we want to do that. honestly, that freedom just allowed us to kind of explore other locations within wanatee park and linn county. and i think it helped the project overall and allowed us some flexibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman (03:36)<\/strong><br \/>\nyeah, i was going to ask, is it typical for a wetland project to have seven individual sites within one park like that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>nichoel church (03:42)<\/strong><br \/>\ni would say it&#8217;s atypical, but it&#8217;s definitely a benefit. daylighting tile, allowing the water to free flow from tile and capturing that nutrient-loaded water within wetlands, as well as providing additional flood storage capacity and improving native species because linn county conservation did all of their seeding, which allowed for a higher water quality benefit specifically within wanatee park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>patrick williams (04:08)<\/strong><br \/>\none interesting aspect that they brought to the table that i had not previously worked with before was an outlet control structure called an agri drain\u00ae. essentially what an agri drain\u00ae is, is a flow control structure that we put on the wet side of the berm, and it has these removable stop logs that the county can manually adjust how much water is on the wet side of the wetland berm. with that idea, the county&#8217;s ability to customize their maintenance and control the water depth in their wetlands for all sorts of maintenance purposes that they may have.<\/p>\n<h2>maintenance &amp;

 team<\/a> assist us with this portion of the project?<\/p>\n<p><strong>patrick williams (05:54)<\/strong><br \/>\nwell, when it comes to structural design, we heavily relied on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2022足球世界杯小组赛赛程

 can only access this area through wanatee park. well, we looked at that area and said, \u201cyeah, we can develop a wetland here. it would also be a cool spot to fish, and you had mentioned you wanted a fishing pond. is this something that you&#8217;re interested in?\u201d and they were on board from the minute that plan was set in motion. and our design team took it over and made it happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman (10:01)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22503\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wanatee-project-photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22503\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22503\" src=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wanatee-project-photo-300x176.jpg\" alt=\"wanatee pond project\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wanatee-project-photo-300x176.jpg 300w, \/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wanatee-project-photo-768x450.jpg 768w, \/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wanatee-project-photo.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">this project created the first fishable pond in wanatee county.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>it sounds like, after a thorough field examination, our team and the linn county conservation team were able to identify not just settling for another wetland water quality feature but going bigger than that and making a pond out of a place where a wetland would&#8217;ve been their original plan.<\/p>\n<p>i think, in addition to that, some of the pond features we added were spawning beds, fish habitat, and jetties. there&#8217;s a deep pool area, medium pool area, and a shallow pool area to help with water quality, as well as the various species habitats. linn county conservation threw in some additional fish habitat features like cinder blocks, and they constructed some fake underwater trees with old conduits and zip ties tied together. those features were put under the water as it was filling up to help create the fish habitat that would eventually form as algae and other debris catch on those structures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>nichoel church (10:51)<\/strong><br \/>\nexactly. and we did have a forebay designed and constructed just upstream from the pond. so that is our water quality improvement feature associated with the pond. a forebay is an area that&#8217;s shallow in depth, captures sediment, and allows nutrients to settle within an area that can grow vegetation. it allows the vegetation to uptake the nutrients, and it also slows down the water so the sediment can drop out before flowing into the pond.<\/p>\n<p>linn county conservation also owns the land adjacent to the pond. this property was previously farmed with row crops. they had taken it out of crop production the year before and planted the entire field with prairie species. they also put native prairie plantings around the hill slopes of the pond and native wetland plantings around the perimeter of the pond.<\/p>\n<p>the pond was initially stocked with bluegill and bass. since that first year of stocking, linn county conservation has worked with dnr to also add crappie and catfish into the pond.<\/p>\n<h2>navigating the multi-project bidding process<\/h2>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman (11:54)<\/strong><br \/>\nthis project, the wetlands, the bridge, and the fish pond were all let for three different engineering construction projects, and we administered all three of them, which meant that while they were under construction, we were in the field, helping assist linn county conservation staff with overseeing that their needs are being met, that the construction was on schedule and going well, and just basically overall making sure that the success of linn county conservation staff and the goals outlined through the development of our plans were being met. everything went very smoothly, and it was impressive, too, that the fishpond was able to fill quickly within the seasonal rainfall events. there was no long delay for the county to begin to enjoy their fishpond.<\/p>\n<h2>challenges faced throughout design<\/h2>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman (12:31)<\/strong><br \/>\ni think one of the greatest challenges to overcome on the project was during the bridge design. it&#8217;s not exactly as straightforward as one might think. the trail alignments from the east to west sides were offset such that the bridge had to be sloped to accommodate both trail slopes. we also made the bridge approaches <a href=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/webinars\/ada-transition-2022世界杯32强预选赛
\/\">ada compliant<\/a>, knowing that even though the rest of the trail outside of the bridge limits was not paved, maybe this would be something that would be necessary for the future of the trail. additionally, while the bridge was elevated to prevent as much inundation as possible, it wasn&#8217;t necessarily set to a hundred-year flood protection elevation because when it comes to these pre-cast bridges, having them overtop with water is not something that creates additional maintenance. it&#8217;s something that they can withstand, and typically the design isn&#8217;t always as clear as what this is going to look like on paper, but at the end of the day, everybody was able to come together and understand how all those elements have to tie together to make the actual final product great for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>nichoel church (13:34)<\/strong><br \/>\nand they were super happy with it once it was built. and that was the other thing is we did shift it a little bit, and that was one thing that we just weren&#8217;t anticipating.<\/p>\n<h2>award-winning collaboration &amp; designs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_22504\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lindsay-nichoel-wanatee-acec.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22504\" class=\"wp-image-22504 size-medium\" src=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lindsay-nichoel-wanatee-acec-300x176.jpg\" alt=\"civil engineer lindsay beaman and and environmental scientist nichoel church receive acec award 2022\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"\/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lindsay-nichoel-wanatee-acec-300x176.jpg 300w, \/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lindsay-nichoel-wanatee-acec-768x450.jpg 768w, \/\/www.dicovercards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lindsay-nichoel-wanatee-acec.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-22504\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">lindsay beaman, p.e. and nichoel church, pws accept the acec award for this project.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>lindsay beaman (13:44)<\/strong><br \/>\nall of this collaboration with the county and thinking outside the box is what led us to receive an acec award. acec annually looks for engineering excellence projects that demonstrate excellence in engineering techniques or ways that we&#8217;ve met the needs of clients and how the engineering solutions are perceived by the 世界杯足球比赛预选赛
