The Skokomish Estuary Restoration project aims to restore the historic and natural estuarine form and function of the Skokomish River estuary in Washington State. The project is sponsored by the Skokomish Tribe and partners to address issues like sedimentation, flooding, and degradation of fish and wildlife habitat. Phase I of the project was implemented in 2007 and restored 108 acres by removing over a mile of dike and notching tidal channels. Phase II was implemented in 2010 and further restored the estuary by removing over 2 miles of dike, filling ditches, and installing additional tidal notches. The multi-phase project aims to improve water quality and restore tidal and riverine processes and habitats.

Coastal Wetland Adaptation Strategies
This document summarizes coastal wetland adaptation strategies presented at two municipal workshops in October 2014. The strategies included upland actions like facilitating marsh migration and removing barriers, as well as in-marsh actions like drainage improvements, elevation enhancement, and erosion control. Specific project examples were provided from locations around Rhode Island where marsh migration was being facilitated or impeded, and adaptation techniques like creek excavation and land protection were undertaken. Partnerships between municipalities, land trusts, and state agencies were noted as important for implementing projects costing $5,000 to $15,000 each to adapt coastal marshes to sea level rise.
The urban wetland protection against rising sea levels in skanör falsterbo
The document describes a site located near Falsterbo canal in Sweden that is being considered for public development. It is close to the communities of Ljunghusen and Höllviken. There is also a school and daycare nearby making it suitable for recreational and educational activities. The site is threatened by rising sea levels predicted to increase by 1 meter in the next 100 years. The proposed design creates a protective dyke and floating wetland to mitigate flooding and storm damage, while keeping the area accessible via an elevated boardwalk. This helps embrace the wetland and grow the surrounding communities in a sustainable way.
Llynclys quarry restoration
Llynclys quarry in Shropshire is restoring 65 hectares of land after limestone extraction. Habitats created include grassland, fen, ponds and hedgerows. Restoration uses natural regeneration and grazing to develop biodiversity, with over 250 plant species recorded including rare species. Monitoring shows success of restoration for wildlife. The site provides public access and education opportunities. Nearby Llanymynech Rocks quarry abandoned in 1940s provides comparison of natural regeneration habitats.

Project Description - Riverside High School
The Riverside High School #8 project involved earthwork and utilities on a 100 acre site for a new high school, including drilling, blasting, rock crushing, cut and fills, and completion of athletic fields, tennis courts and roadways under Certified Maintenance Company. The project was completed in 10 phases under a challenging schedule for the Loudon County Public Schools by site superintendent Jahonn Naimi.
Mosquito Poster Final
The document summarizes the geologic history of Mosquito Lake State Park in Ohio. The park was shaped by glacial activity during the Pleistocene, which deposited drift material over older Devonian bedrock. The geology includes three distinct glacial features - a portion of the Defiance End Moraine, ground moraine forming the western park's flat surface, and lacustrine deposits from a former lake. The bedrock consists of Devonian sandstones and shales deposited in marine environments. Multiple glacial advances covered the area with till during the Wisconsinan Glacier before retreating.
Pikes peak
Pikes Peak is composed of pink granite formed over 1 billion years ago from magma deep within the earth. It was formed in three stages: first, an early Rocky Mountain range was created and eroded; sediment was deposited and covered the area. As the land converged, it pushed the granite batholith upward, exposing it to erosion over millions of years, including glaciers, streams, and wind, carving it into the prominent peak seen today.

PPL26 Bayou La Loutre Ridge & Marsh Restoration Nomination Fact Sheet for 1_8_16
This project aims to restore ridge and marsh habitat in the Bayou La Loutre area of St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. Specifically, it will create 5.46 miles of ridge along Bayou La Loutre and 10 acres of ridge habitat, as well as create 129 acres of marsh and nourish 254 acres of existing marsh along Lena Lagoon using sediment dredged from Lake Borgne. This will benefit a total of 383 acres directly and reduce land loss in the area by 50% over the life of the project. The estimated cost is $21 million.
Rothwell_Country_Park_Management_Plan_20
The management plan aims to improve Rothwell Country Park over 2014-2016. It analyzes the park's habitats and seeks ways to better incorporate public use while restoring the former coal mining area. The park contains grasslands, woodlands, ponds and the remaining gravel site of the former Fanny Pit. Objectives include removing rubble from the gravel site and turning it into a meadow, improving pathways and adding picnic areas in grasslands, removing invasive plants from woodlands, and monitoring ponds and wetlands to protect fragile species. Annual management will focus on habitat enhancement, path maintenance, and overseeing the park through the Friends of Rothwell Country Park volunteer group.
Coastal Erosion And Management On The North Norfolk
Photos from various points along the N Norfolk coastline and details on the management strategies in place.
Marcopper Boac River Update
In 1991, a drain tunnel used to drain water from a mining pit was sealed with a concrete plug. In 1996, the plug failed and released 1.6 million cubic meters of tailings into the 26-kilometer Boac River. The tunnel was resealed in 1996 and 1997. There was disagreement over how to clean up the river, so no official cleanup plan was approved. However, monitoring showed the river water quality gradually recovering to safe levels. While some tailings remain, studies found they do not significantly impact the environment. Traditional river uses have resumed.
2010 04 The Severn Estuary European Marine Site – Christine Marsh
The document summarizes information about the Severn Estuary European Marine Site, including:
1) It describes the estuary's special features like habitats (mud flats, salt meadows, etc.), fish species (lamprey, shad), and waterfowl (swans, geese, ducks).
2) It provides an overview of the estuary's designation as a Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, and Ramsar site due to these features.
3) It explains the Association of Severn Estuary Relevant Authorities (ASERA) was established to manage the site and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Barton Hill Sediment Removal Project
The Barton Hill sediment removal project removed 250 cubic yards of sediment and 22 tons of debris from a stormwater pond. Taller and wider bollards were installed to replace an existing row. Disturbed areas were seeded with annual rye grass. The project was completed in September 2014 and was aimed at improving stormwater management and drainage in the area.
Artificial Reef 2001 Anglers Club
The document discusses artificial reefs and Martin County's artificial reef program. It describes the purposes of artificial reefs which include increasing habitat for marine organisms and decreasing stress on natural reefs. It also outlines the types of artificial reef materials and reef designs used, including individual units, rubble mounds, and recycled materials. Finally, it provides details on Martin County's past and planned artificial reef projects in partnership with other organizations.
Mackay Bluewater Trail Projects
This document summarizes three landmark projects completed by Mackay Regional Council: the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre, the Bluewater Lagoon, and the Bluewater Quay. The Bluewater Quay and Lagoon are part of Mackay's Bluewater Trail, a 21km ring of recreational areas around the city. The Bluewater Quay is a $12 million waterfront area featuring public art, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The Bluewater Lagoon is a $12.7 million aquatic facility with waterslides and waterplay areas. Both projects faced challenges including weather and ground conditions but were completed successfully and provide recreational opportunities for Mackay residents and tourists.
Dunwich And Aldeburgh
The document discusses coastal erosion at Dunwich in Suffolk, England. It describes how Dunwich was once a thriving port town similar in size to London, but storms and erosion have destroyed most of it, leaving only a few cottages. The cliffs at Dunwich are made of soft sediments and experience erosion rates of up to 1 meter per year, mostly during storms. Longshore drift carries material south along the coast. In contrast, coastal management efforts like sea walls and beach replenishment have been used to protect the town of Aldeburgh further south from similar erosion.
Coastal Management Holderness Ap
There are several factors that determine whether a stretch of coastline is protected from erosion or not. Hard engineering approaches like groynes, sea walls, gabions, revetments, and rock armor are expensive options to prevent erosion but may not be aesthetically pleasing. Softer engineering techniques like beach nourishment, stabilizing sand dunes, and managed retreat are generally less expensive and more sustainable as they work with natural coastal processes. The Holderness Coast in England is an example of an eroding coastline where various hard and soft engineering strategies have been used to protect vulnerable areas from erosion over the past few centuries.

Haiti: Artificial Reefs - A solution
This document proposes creating artificial reefs off the coast of Haiti using clean concrete rubble from the 2010 earthquake to assist with reconstruction efforts. Artificial reefs could provide habitat for marine life while disposing of rubble in an environmentally friendly way. Estimates suggest an ocean disposal area of 0.5 square miles could hold over 5 million cubic yards of debris. The document outlines considerations for site selection and references previous successful artificial reef projects. It recommends engaging stakeholders to develop and implement a debris disposal strategy using artificial reefs.
Pong dam ppt
The document summarizes the design and workings of the Pong Dam located on the Beas River in Himachal Pradesh, India. Some key points:
- The 133m tall earth-fill embankment dam was constructed between 1961-1974 for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation.
- It has a maximum discharge capacity of 12,375 cumecs through its chute-type spillway.
- The dam creates Maharana Pratap Sagar reservoir with a total capacity of 8.57 trillion cubic meters.
- It has 6 x 60MW Francis turbines for a total installed capacity of 360MW.
Coastal management integrated and sustainable management
The Holderness Coast in northeast England is eroding rapidly due to its soft geology, large fetch exposure to North Sea storms, and coastal processes. Hard engineering can protect assets but is expensive and impacts the environment, while soft engineering uses natural defenses but requires maintenance. Coastal management plans take an integrated approach, using hard structures to hold the line in developed areas and managed retreat in others to allow creation of protective salt marshes. Sustainable approaches also use natural habitats but require abandoned land and may be unpopular.
Laguna lake2
The document discusses a proposed 99km road-dike project around Laguna Lake in the Philippines. It would involve building a 5m tall wall to help keep water in the lake and serve as a dike. This wall would be around two stories tall and 70m wide, around the size of two and a half basketball courts. Several questions are raised about the project, including whether people affected have been identified and surveys conducted, and if an environmental impact assessment has been completed given the geologically active nature of the area. It stresses the need to respect community rights and follow the precautionary principle before moving forward with the project.
Dams and their role
Dams provide many benefits but also have environmental impacts. They are constructed for purposes like hydropower, irrigation, water supply, flood control, and navigation. The main types of dams are gravity, earthfill, arch, and buttress dams. Dams allow for recreation, flood control, water storage, hydroelectricity generation, and inland navigation. However, they can negatively impact fish, spread diseases, cause soil erosion, and displace human populations. In India, most dams are owned by state governments and must be approved by planning authorities. Strict safety standards and reviews are required during a dam's design, construction, operation, and maintenance to prevent failures. The controversial Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada

Mahdi nori ojgaz
This document summarizes a study of the coastline between Nicotera and Santa Eufemia Lamezia in Calabria, Italy. The preliminary studies found that 65% of beaches were stable, 5% were accreting, and 30% totaling 200 km were eroding. Detailed analysis identified issues in critical areas. The coastline includes cliffs, sandy beaches with fine to medium grain, and pockets beaches. Structures are only present near some ports. Problems include sediment loss in winter storms and interaction between river deposits and underwater canyons, which may transport sediment offshore rather than building beaches. Proposed solutions include limited intervention and artificial beach nourishment protected with submerged structures.
12 hofstad south_soundsymposium
The Henderson Inlet Watershed Protection Authority program in Thurston County, Washington evolved in response to shellfish harvest closures and downgrades due to poor water quality. The program established a shellfish protection district and advisory committee in 2001-2002. A risk-based septic system inspection and maintenance program was developed and adopted in 2005-2007, requiring high and low risk systems to be inspected every 3 years, with dye tests for high risk systems every 6 years. Statistics show the program has issued over 5,500 certificates after inspection and maintenance and identified needed repairs for over 9% of systems tested. Stormwater treatment infrastructure has also been built. As a result of these efforts, shellfish growing areas have been reopened in

This document is the State of Washington's post-trial brief in the case of United States v. Washington, regarding culverts under state roads that block fish passage. In the brief, Washington argues that fixing state-owned culverts is just one part of the complex task of salmon recovery, which requires a comprehensive, coordinated approach. Washington developed salmon recovery plans in collaboration with tribes that prioritize various recovery efforts, and forcing acceleration of culvert repairs could undermine these scientifically-based plans.

This document describes the restoration of the Nisqually River Delta over time. The historic tidal channel network was lost due to agricultural development but local efforts saved the delta from industrialization. Salmon recovery and conservation efforts drove delta restoration starting with a 9 acre pilot project in 1996, expanding to 31 acres in 2002, 100 acres in 2006, and over 700 acres as the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge was fully restored. Aerial images from 1997 to 2010 show the progression of delta restoration projects over that period.

This document summarizes research on juvenile Chinook salmon use of small streams in Whidbey Basin. Key findings include:
- Juvenile Chinook from multiple populations use small streams, sometimes residing for months.
- Restoration increased Chinook presence in one stream, suggesting preference for low salinity habitat early in year.
- Ongoing research is examining Chinook patterns, growth, and origins in more small streams to understand their importance.
- Proper protection of these small streams and watersheds as Chinook habitat is questioned given their vulnerability and importance.

The document summarizes a presentation on restoring tidal habitat at Possession Sound. It finds that:
1) Two restoration scenarios were considered - scenario 1 was likely too small to be sustainable, while scenario 2 could be sustainable but may require clearing coarse sediments from the inlet channel.
2) Predictions of fish use based on studies of other pocket estuaries in the region found juvenile salmon and sculpins would likely use the restored habitat.
3) Moving the inlet channel downstream of the boat ramp and accounting for increased flow from freshwater inputs could help clear sediments and make scenario 2 more sustainable.

Royal Lake Dredging and Restoration Project: Pardon Our Dust Meeting May 9, 2016
The document discusses plans for dredging and restoring Royal Lake in Fairfax County, VA, which will involve removing 51,220 cubic yards of sediment, stabilizing shorelines and streams, installing fish habitats, and improving safety, with construction to take place from June 2016 to June 2017 while keeping the lake mostly drained.
Konovsky biological recovery of goldsborough creek 11.04.11
The document summarizes efforts to recover coho salmon populations in Goldsborough Creek through the removal of Simpson Dam in 2001. Key points:
- Coho smolt production has increased by an order of magnitude, from 10,000 to over 100,000 annually, making Goldsborough Creek now the #2 producer in South Puget Sound. This is largely due to removing the dam and opening over 25 miles of habitat.
- While habitat gains have been made through conservation and dam removal, challenges remain like improving Shelton Harbor for estuary habitat and reconnecting areas like the Simpson Railroad floodplain.
- Recent dedicated funding of nearly $5 million from various groups has supported further recovery actions, with a
borehole_waye
The document summarizes the drilling of a borehole at Waye Cottage to supplement the existing domestic water supply. A 69m deep borehole was drilled into the granite bedrock and intercepted groundwater at multiple fractures. Initial testing found the borehole could supply over 14,000 liters of water per day. Water quality testing revealed higher than recommended levels of manganese, aluminum, and iron that required treatment equipment. The total cost of drilling and completing the borehole well was £4,467.01.
2008 restoration conference article
1) The Snook Islands project reconstructed 10 acres of red mangroves, 2.8 acres of Spartina marsh, and 2.3 acres of oyster reef by transporting 1.2 million cubic yards of dredge spoil from Peanut Island over 1,560 barge loads to fill in areas of the Lake Worth Lagoon that had been dredged and bulkheaded.
2) The Lake Worth Lagoon had lost around 80% of its mangroves and shallow waters to dredging and filling over the past century. The Snook Islands project aimed to remediate this loss of habitat by reconstructing intertidal and shallow subtidal areas.

Testing and Implementation of AMD Mitigation, Alum Gulch-Flux Canyon, Cox Gul...
The document summarizes a plan to mitigate acid mine drainage (AMD) and heavy metals in several tributaries in southeastern Arizona that flow into Sonoita Creek and Patagonia Lake. The plan involves installing gabion retaining wall structures and stream bed footers containing zeolite materials downstream of mine discharge points to raise pH and reduce metals like zinc, cadmium, lead, and copper. Water quality and biological monitoring will occur before and after installation to evaluate effectiveness. Zeolites are effective at absorbing metals and raising pH, as shown in previous studies. The structures are intended to last 5-10 years before material replacement depending on runoff conditions.
Angus Creek Stormwater Harvest
Council is building a stormwater harvesting project along Angus Creek to collect and clean 200 million litres of stormwater per year. The stormwater will be pumped from Angus Creek through a litter trap and wetlands to remove pollutants. It will then be treated and stored in tanks to irrigate sports fields and top up lakes, reducing Council's water bills and improving the health of Angus Creek by reducing fast flows that erode the creek.
Tri State Presentation - 9-24-15
The document summarizes the construction of Lake Mead Intake No. 3, which was needed to preserve the water supply for Las Vegas as Lake Mead water levels declined due to drought. A 3.5 mile tunnel was constructed using a tunnel boring machine to connect the new intake to the water treatment facility. The project overcame challenges from variable geology, high tunneling pressures, and precise placement of the intake structure. Completion in 2015 ensured water access even if lake levels dropped below the existing intakes.
Mc Knight Sess13 102309
The document summarizes the construction methods used for the East Duden Property portion of the Napa River Flood Protection Project. Key aspects included excavating 96,000 cubic yards of contaminated material from the marshplain and floodplain, installing 2,300 feet of turbidity curtain, constructing 1,450 feet of new levee and repairing 1,800 feet of existing levees. 20,000 tons of contaminated materials were removed to a Class II landfill. The marshplain was excavated to an elevation of 0.0 feet and the floodplain was terraced. 60,000 cubic yards of material was screened to remove debris and 25,000 cubic yards of concrete was crushed.
L8 Boscastle
The document describes devastating flooding that occurred in Boscastle, UK in August 2004. Over 200mm of rain fell in 4 hours, with 90mm falling in one hour. This caused two rivers to burst their banks, sending a 3m high wall of water through the village. The flash flooding destroyed homes, businesses and infrastructure. Emergency services conducted a major rescue operation to evacuate stranded residents. Long-term impacts included extensive property damage, economic losses from disrupted tourism, and environmental impacts. The response involved emergency evacuations, followed by a £4.5 million flood defense scheme to mitigate future flooding.
Kenya; Water from Rock Outcrops: A handbook for Engineers and Technicians
Rock catchments provide a reliable source of water in arid and semi-arid regions by harvesting rainwater running off rock surfaces. They are constructed by building rock garlands and dams to gravity feed the runoff into reservoirs. Maintaining rock catchments is simple, involving cleaning before rains, and they can provide water for many households with minimal rainfall. They have largely positive social and health impacts while being cost-effective alternatives to other water sources.
ICLR Friday Forum: Tantramar Marshes Flooding (March 19, 2021)
On Friday, March 19, 2021, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Solutions for Tantramar marshes flooding', led by Dr. Jeff 0llerhead, Professor, Geography and Environment Department, Mount Allison University.
Most former salt marshes in the Tantramar region of Atlantic Canada are now protected by dykes and are used primarily for agriculture. This has been true for decades to centuries and, as such, their elevation can be as much as 2 m below that of undyked salt marshes in the region. The key environmental drivers shaping the marshes are changing over time with climate change. The rate of relative sea level (RSL) rise is accelerating and there is some evidence that storms are becoming more frequent and sea ice is diminishing. The risk of a catastrophic dyke failure and associated flooding increases each year. Risk from inland flooding is also increasing.
Possible solutions include a combination of: (i) raise and reenforce the dyke system, (ii) realign existing dykes and restore salt marshes to provide natural protection, and (iii) remove existing dykes and allow the system to return to a natural state. The highest priority for managing our salt marshes should be to provide them with sufficient accommodation space into which they can transgress naturally.
Jeff 0llerhead is a member of the Geography and Environment Department at Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB. He is a coastal geomorphologist who studies beaches and salt marshes. In recent years, he has been particularly involved in designing and monitoring salt marsh restorations in the upper Bay of Fundy.
2015 CDA-Frederickhouse Erosion Control
This document summarizes the bank erosion control measures implemented at the Frederickhouse Dam in Ontario. Significant erosion was undercutting the 28m high left bank downstream of the dam due to turbulent discharge. Monitoring after a large landslide identified the need to stabilize the slope. Tests were conducted to determine soil properties, and a Flow-3D model was used to simulate flow patterns and evaluate design options. The final design included a stabilizing berm and armourstone riprap to arrest further erosion and meet safety standards, with construction completed in 2014.
Fashkha Springs as a Plaestinian Strategic Water Project
This document discusses a strategic water project in Palestine involving the Al-Fashkha Springs located near the Dead Sea. It faces several challenges including water needs exceeding supply, drought, pollution, and occupation. The project's first phase from 2012-2015 involved feasibility studies, drilling wells, and constructing reservoirs and pipelines. The second phase from 2015-2017 would construct a desalination plant and power plant to provide 33 million cubic meters of fresh water annually to Palestinians by 2017. The project aims to develop a sustainable water source for the region but faces high costs due to transporting water to higher elevations.
Getting to know_your_watershed_bass_river
The document provides information about the Bass River watershed on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It summarizes that the watershed covers 10,331 acres across 11,800 parcels in Dennis, Yarmouth, and other towns. Developed land in those towns increased 58.7% and 56.3% from 1971 to 1999. The watershed includes features like Long Pond and is impacted by nitrogen pollution from septic systems, fertilizers, and other sources. Studies show some surface waters and subwatersheds exceed nitrogen limits, threatening ecosystem health. Solutions discussed include the Cape Cod Regional Wastewater Management Plan and a mix of decentralized and centralized wastewater infrastructure projects over 20-30 years.
Flood resilient presentation 05.16.12
1) Tropical Storm Irene caused record flooding in many Massachusetts rivers, with some peak flows having less than a 0.2% probability of occurring in a given year.
2) The flooding showed that rivers will access their floodplains and erode and deposit sediment in ways that change their channels over time if not prevented by infrastructure like undersized culverts.
3) Massachusetts has established stream crossing standards to maintain river processes and continuity, and these standards are now required under various state permits and regulations. Adhering to these standards helps infrastructure withstand floods like Irene while allowing rivers more natural function.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
