This document discusses the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines Project, which aims to identify priority shorelines for ecologically-enhanced shoreline designs. The project develops recommendations for shoreline management that preserve or enhance ecological values while increasing shoreline resiliency. Field data is being collected on hardened shorelines from Tappan Zee Bridge to Troy to identify candidate locations for new demonstration sites showing sustainable shoreline designs. These demonstration sites highlight techniques that maintain ecological services, provide resilience, and accommodate human use. Information from the priority shoreline inventory will be used to identify new locations for demonstration sites based on the presence of valuable infrastructure, shoreline vegetation, and degrading shorelines.

Grant Park
This document summarizes a community call about the Grant Park Gateway project in Atlanta, Georgia that pursued SITES certification. The project involved renovating an existing park lot to increase greenspace, tree canopy coverage, and sustainable development goals. Key design strategies to meet SITES criteria included a green roof, comprehensive stormwater management through collection, infiltration trenches and cisterns, and improving the human experience with amenities like seating and signage. Lessons learned included the importance of an integrated design/construction team, addressing community pushback over saving specimen trees, and synergies between SITES and other rating systems. The call discussed how SITES added value for clients through increased sustainable practices awareness and more efficient certification documentation.

This document summarizes how intertidal habitat creation was used as compensation for environmental impacts from dredging and development associated with the London Gateway Port project. Monitoring showed that the created intertidal habitat successfully developed and now supports a diversity of invertebrates and provides feeding habitat for bird populations, fulfilling its intended compensatory purpose. Lessons learned include that managed realignment can be an effective tool for port developers to mitigate impacts if a sufficient habitat is created and monitoring evaluates the success of meeting conservation goals. The principles may also apply to habitat creation compensation for port developments in Africa.

Maryland is paving the way for oyster aquaculture expansion through online data portals, GIS tools, and stakeholder outreach. Maryland’s eastern oyster represents a key component of the state’s heritage, culture, economy, and environment. Despite the oyster’s inherent value, populations sit at 1% of historic levels. Through a NOAA Fellowship, the state has taken steps to employ oysters in water quality improvement efforts, as well as identify and address potential use conflicts.
Mapping UK Sea Space
Mapping UK Sea Space involves creating accurate maps of the seafloor and coastal areas through technologies like sonar, LiDAR and aerial imagery. These maps are important for navigation safety, managing human activities like fishing and offshore energy, and understanding the marine environment. While some areas have been mapped, most of the seafloor remains unexplored. New mapping techniques and tools are needed to address this challenge and support uses of the ocean, from infrastructure planning to habitat protection.

Their approach involves thorough consultation, feasibility studies, and implementation of management strategies to restore lakes and waterways while protecting ecological habitats. Case studies demonstrate how their techniques allow working in inaccessible urban sites and Sites of Special Scientific Interest to clear invasive plants and remove sediment, improving water quality and reducing flooding risks in a sustainable manner.
Lessons fron the Olympic Park- Peter Neal, Green Infrastructure Seminar
The document summarizes the green infrastructure strategies used at the Olympic Park in London. It discusses how the park was planned with sustainability in mind from the beginning, with goals to reduce water and waste, protect biodiversity, and create a large new urban park. Strategies like sustainable drainage systems, recycling demolition materials, and habitat restoration were used. The result was that the park exceeded its sustainability targets and transformed formerly industrial land into 100 hectares of parklands, providing environmental, social, and economic benefits for London into the future.
Assessment of reservoir sedimentation by remote sensing
This document discusses using remote sensing to assess sedimentation in reservoirs. It describes how conventional hydrographic surveys are costly and tedious, while remote sensing techniques offer a modern alternative. Satellite remote sensing can be used to estimate storage capacity loss in reservoirs due to sedimentation. The methodology involves preprocessing satellite data, identifying water pixels, and computing reservoir capacity. Water pixels are identified using a modified normalized difference water index method. Capacity between elevations is then computed using a prismoidal formula and water spread areas at corresponding elevations.

Assessment of sand dam potential for ephemeral rivers
This study assessed the potential for sand dams in ephemeral rivers in Yatta and Mwala constituencies in eastern Kenya. GIS and remote sensing techniques were used to identify 17 watersheds in Mwala with potential for a total of 263 sand dams (125 existing and 138 proposed) to serve approximately 998 families. The watersheds in Mwala had higher runoff and sand generation potential than Yatta due to differences in topography. While sand dams were found to have potential, the study recommended further exploring other surface water technologies and prioritizing catchments capable of yielding over 6 million liters per year.

The River Aire catchment in Leeds has been heavily impacted by past industrial and urban development, with 60% of its water bodies designated as heavily modified under the Water Framework Directive. However, partnership working between catchment organizations like the Aire Rivers Trust and government agencies has led to environmental improvements through projects restoring habitats and installing fish passes. Future opportunities exist to continue this collaborative approach on initiatives improving water quality, managing flood risk, and enhancing green infrastructure along the river corridor. Key factors for the success of these partnerships include clear objectives, long-term commitment from partners, political support, understanding different roles and priorities, and strong leadership built on trust between organizations.

Using Weep Berms to Control Water Quality by Richard Warner and Greg Higgins
Using Weep Berms to Control Water Quality by Richard Warner and Greg Higgins Appalachian Research Initiative for Environmental Science
This document discusses using weep berms to control water quality from mining operations. It begins with an outline of current mining methods and innovative methods being tested by OSM, including using drill cores to assess problem strata, isolating those strata, designing and constructing weep berms, and reestablishing hardwood forests. Weep berms are described as engineered earthen structures that slowly discharge passively to downstream forests. Case studies are presented showing weep berms effectively control sediment and meet water quality standards.Impact of Agricultural Stream Restoration on Riparian Hydrology and Biogeoche...
Impact of Agricultural Stream Restoration on Riparian Hydrology and Biogeoche...National Institute of Food and Agriculture
This study evaluated the impact of agricultural stream restoration on hydrology, biogeochemistry, and greenhouse gas emissions. The goals were to understand how physical restoration changes influence near-stream hydrology and water quality, and the drivers of nutrient cycling in restored versus unrestored stream-riparian systems. The key findings were that denitrification rates varied with landscape position and were generally higher in riparian zones than stream sediments. Instream denitrification and nutrient uptake depended on geomorphology. Additionally, the restoration construction process caused disturbance that reduced water quality function initially and maintenance is important due to common failures.Test first
This document describes a Jenga game activity used to demonstrate the benefits of test-driven development. The activity involves building a 3-story Jenga tower with blocks, some of which contain defects. Participants undergo three iterations with different testing procedures: in the first, defects are found after building; in the second, defects are found every 10 blocks; in the third, defects are known for each individual block. The goal is to understand how rework effort decreases when testing occurs earlier in the development cycle rather than later.

Case Study
Managing Projects from Start to Completion
The Riverside Community Park Project was an endeavor to create a 140-acre community recreation park alongside the White River. The project, led by Thomas Stanford and assisted by Jan Steinberg, included many deliverables for the community, including:
• A walkway along the river connecting restaurants and neighborhoods
• Hiking trails
• Baseball and soccer fields
• Water access points
• Picnic areas
• Children’s playgrounds
• An indoor family swimming facility
• Parking areas
Examining the Project Deliverables
The first phase the project moved through was in-depth planning and development.
The project scope was broken down into four major categories:
• River-related deliverables, such as docks and fishing areas
• Structural-related deliverables, such as the indoor swimming facility
• Environment-related deliverables, such as the hiking trails
• Common areas, such as the picnic and parking areas
Each of these deliverables was broken down into components that could, in turn, be broken down into exact deliverables for the project. For example, the indoor swimming facility included the excavation of the grounds for the building, the construction of the building, and the indoor swimming pool.
Each deliverable was broken down to ensure that all of the required components were included in the project plan. Each category of deliverables went through a similar process to ensure that all of the deliverables were accounted for and that the project plans were complete. Stanford and Steinberg worked with a large project team that specialized in different disciplines within the project work.
For example, Holly Johnson of EQHN Engineering served as team lead for the river related deliverables. Johnson has years of experience in construction projects dealing with lakes, rivers, and manufactured waterways. Her expert judgment contributed to the development of the plan and the breaking down of the work.
Don Streeping of RHD Architecture and Construction helped Stanford develop the requirements, features, and components of the indoor swimming facility. RHD Architects designed the building and swimming facilities for the project and helped map out the timeline for a feasible completion and successful opening day. Grey Jansen with the Department of Natural Resources and Marci Koening with the Department of Urban Planning worked with Stanford to create several different hiking trails and a pedway along the riverfront. The elaborate trail system offers challenging hikes to pleasant strolls. In addition, the pedway allows visitors to walk through more than 50 acres along the river and to visit restaurants, shopping centers, and other commercial ventures within the park. Without Jansen’s and Koening’s expertise, the project would not have been a success.
Finally, John Anderson led the team responsible for the common areas. The children’s playgrounds are top-notch, and there is ample parking and access to the park. .

Prepare to Launch! Guidelines for Assessing, Designing, and Building Launch ...
One of the key questions that needs to be addressed when connecting people to their rivers and waterways is how do they get in and out?
Prepare to Launch! is a resource designed to help river managers, parks planners and water trail managers being to answer this question. Drawing on existing case studies, this image heavy document focuses on how managers can build ‘put-in and take out’ sites as they address the evolving needs of paddlers and other users of non-motorized or hybrid (launches that welcome both non-motorized and motorized) watercraft.
This presentation will dive into the Prepare to Launch! online platform, with the opportunity for session attendees to become familiar with the tools and resources available. The session will highlight an innovative partnership developed launch case study. Participants will also have the opportunity to evaluate the good the bad and the ugly as we continue to evolve the best practices for the development of launch sites.
Session attendees are encouraged to bring their own stories and lessons learned to share as we evaluate and discuss how to improve the body of knowledge for launch access.
Massachusetts_Ocean_Plan.ppt
The document summarizes Massachusetts' development of a comprehensive ocean management plan as required by the 2008 Oceans Act. Key points:
- The plan will govern ocean uses and protect resources as mandated by the Oceans Act, using spatial data and analysis to inform compatible siting of allowed uses like renewable energy and fishing.
- A screening process analyzed ecological data to identify protected areas and constraints, and suitable sites for offshore wind while avoiding conflicts with important habitats and uses.
- The draft plan designates renewable energy siting areas, prohibited areas, and allows some uses elsewhere subject to siting standards to protect sensitive resources.
Capstone Presentation
The team designed a field-scale research facility to study the impacts of sea level rise on freshwater bottomland hardwood forests. They evaluated two site options and recommended a non-tidal controlled rice field site. The team developed a site plan using modeling software, including elevating existing berms, installing a pump station and pipe system, and designing a hydraulic weir structure controlled by a motorized gate. A cost assessment was conducted. The facility aims to monitor vegetation, soil, and hydrologic responses to changed hydroperiods from sea level rise.
Final Capstone Presentation
The team designed a field-scale research facility to study the impacts of sea level rise on freshwater bottomland hardwood forests. They considered two site options and selected non-tidal controlled rice fields based on criteria like existing infrastructure. The designed facility includes upgrading berms, installing a water control structure, and a pump station to manipulate hydroperiods. Models were developed to inform the design and assess costs. The recommendations were to implement the rice field site to gain data on vegetation, soil, and hydrologic responses to changed conditions from sea level rise.
Capstone Final Powerpoint
The document outlines plans to design a field-scale research facility to study the effects of sea level rise on freshwater bottomland hardwood forests. It discusses selecting a site location within an existing forested wetland and designing the facility to manipulate water levels and mimic predicted tidal influences from rising sea levels. Literature on site hydrology, tidal patterns, and previous mesocosm experiments is reviewed to inform the design. Methods, preliminary results of modeling water flows and site layout, and cost estimates are provided. The goal is to gain critical data on vegetation, soil, and hydrologic responses to help improve models of how ecosystem services may be impacted by climate change.
