David Flick, Principal and Founder, announces that the firm successfully completed Section 404/401 Clean Water Act permitting on a team approach with Burns & McDonnell Engineers for construction of Lake Deanna near Drexel Missouri. When completed, the lake will provide a private recreational resource for the family and friends of Greg and Deanna Graves.
Scientists with Terra Technologies assisted the Burns and McDonnell engineering team with organization of key technical submittals in support of the project. The lake impounds approximately 60 acres of surface water across an unnamed tributary forming confluence with Harding Creek. The lake will include warm and cool water fisheries.
Lakes require an immense quantity of compensatory mitigation due to the conversion of stream to lake habitat. Scientists with Terra Technologies designed in-stream and riparian corridor improvements to over 4,300 linear feet of Harding Creek within the Graves parcel, creating over 20,000 stream credits of ecological gain. An additional 10,288 stream credits were purchased by the applicant from the Camp Branch Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank, a mitigation bank in Cass County serving the South Grand River watershed of the Central Plains/Osage/South Grand Ecological Drainage Unit in Missouri.
