available access for maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\nanother important thing is to consider access for maintenance. you know, we’ve got a forebay in here. that eventually is going to need to be cleaned out. and that’s the purpose of it. it’s to gather and collect sediment. so once it starts to fill in, it is going to require someone to come in and dig that out and restore its volume.<\/p>\n
also, during establishment might need to be able to come in and do a little bit of weed control. granted, that can be people coming in more on foot to do that work. you would want to consider how access for maintenance is going to play into it.<\/p>\n
so, this was an exciting project that we had. i’m glad we did it. it was a challenge, like i said, with the area we had available and the large area we had draining to it, but we did keep working through it and eventually got it to work out, and it ended up being a pretty good-looking stormwater wetland.<\/p>\n
if this is something you’re interested in, if a stormwater wetland looks like a possibility for you or your site, please feel free to contact us because we’d love to talk to you about it and see if we can help you out with that. thank you very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
urban wetland protection and restoration urban wetlands help fulfill an important function in improving surface water quality and purifying precipitation running off from towns and cities. as municipalities continue to expand and disrupt natural landscapes, learning how we can sufficiently use natural systems to try and mitigate the impending changes is in the best interest […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27104,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[29,30],"class_list":["post-23550","webinars","type-webinars","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-land-development","category-water"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t \n\t \n\t \n\n\t\t\n
