This project had three objectives: 1) Reduce downstream flood flows, 2) Maximize use of low-lying lands for flood water storage, and 3) Maximize well field production. It achieved these objectives through constructing berms and ditches to redirect floodwater onto a wellfield for storage and aquifer recharge, improving wetland hydrology and reducing offsite flooding. Monitoring showed improved wetland hydroperiods, vegetative recovery in wetlands, and the project ended under budget.
Rocky Run Tributary at Hickory Hollow Lane Stream Restoration Feb. 2021Fairfax County
The Rocky Run Tributary at Hickory Hollow Lane project goals are to stabilize the stream, reduce excess sediment from flowing downstream; improve aesthetics, reduce hazards, reconnect the stream to the floodplain, improve the riparian buffer and reduce road flooding, among other goals.

The Huntington Levee is located at 5755 Mt. Vernon Drive, Alexandria, and provides a 2,800-foot levee along Cameron Run to protect the community from flooding associated with storms of up to at least a 100-year event. The levee is made up of a 10- to 15-foot high earthen embankment with a 4-foot high concrete I-wall which caps the steel sheet piles embedded in the embankment. The project also includes a 5,300 square foot mechanical pump station that houses three 42.5 million gallon per day axial flow pumps for the larger storm events and three 8,000 gallon per minute low flow pumps for base flows and smaller storms. Upgrades to the Farrington Park playground and a network of connecting trails was included in the project. The new levee infrastructure has been operational since spring 2019 and recently provided flood protection for the adjacent homes and community during the major rainfall event of July 8, 2019.
The project achieved the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure Envision Bronze Award and has been recognized with the National Capital Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers Sustainable Project/Program of the Year Award for 2019.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
