David Flick, Principal and Founder, announces the firm has successfully completed Reverification (reissuance) of the Section 404/401 Clean Water Act authorization for the Second Creek Sanitary Sewer Expansion in Kansas City, Missouri. A jurisdictional assessment of wetlands and other waters of the United States completed by Flick Seed Company identified a total of 9,021 lineal feet of perennial stream, 1,305 lineal feet of intermittent stream, 2,712 lineal feet of ephemeral stream, 1.58 acres of wetlands, and 0.14 acre of pond within the limits of the sewer project.
The firm also received project clearance in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. A Phase I Cultural Resources field investigation and report was completed for the proposed sewer alignment and determined that the proposed project will not negatively affect any significant cultural resources. The Phase I report was submitted to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Office for their concurrence.
Scientists with Terra Technologies also designed the restoration plan to restore temporary impacts to wetlands and perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream channels for construction of the proposed sewer. Restoration activities include stabilization of stream banks in the location of sewer impacts with rolled erosion control products, coir log toes, gabion toes, and native vegetation plantings. Wetland restoration activities include reapplication of stockpiled wetland topsoil and native vegetation re-establishment. Construction of the sewer project and restoration activities was initiated in 2012.
