Dead Run Stream Restoration at McLean Central Park - Segments 2 and 3Fairfax County
The project restored approximately 3,000 linear feet of stream within the Dead Run Watershed which drains directly to the Potomac River in McLean, Virginia. Restoration of the stream was achieved using natural channel design principles. The project included boulder riffles, step pools, log vanes, root wad structures, buried rock sills, reinforced stream bed material, removal of invasive plants and the re-establishment of the riparian buffer with native species.
The primary goals of this project were to address public safety concerns, stabilize an eroded channel by using natural stream design techniques and promote the growth of native vegetation. The natural channel design techniques used, such as a reinforced bed mix riffle sections and step pools, reduce the flow velocity, provide stability, and enhance water quality along the streams leading to the Chesapeake Bay. The disturbed areas of the site were restored with native shrubs, plants and trees.
Pohick Stream Stabilization Phase II - Areas 2 and 3Fairfax County
The Pohick Stream Stabilization Phase II project restored approximately 1,000 feet of Pohick Creek along the southern and western perimeters of the Noman M. Cole Jr., Pollution Control Plant. The restored stream reduces the energy of flowing water and keeps the creek from eroding into the plant’s property line.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
