-
Osage Plains Wetland & Stream Mitigation Bank - Cass County, Missouri - Mr. DeAngelo assists with the monitoring of this project which includes wetland delineation, soil sampling, evaluation of hydrologic conditions, data analysis, and report preparation. This project has restored native forested, scrub-shrub, and herbaceous wetlands to a denuded farm parcel and has reforested more than 2,500 linear feet of a perennial stream on one side.
-
Crane Creek Wetland & Stream Mitigation Bank - Stone County, Missouri - Mr. DeAngelo helped create a site-specific plant list for this 76-acre mitigation bank, which will restore agricultural land to its original state as riparian corridor, forested wetland, and herbaceous wetland. Mr. DeAngelo is also involved in acquiring regulatory approval of this mitigation bank by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal and state natural resource agencies.
- MSD Sewer & Channel Design Projects – St. Louis County, Missouri – As part of Terra Technologies' general services contract with MSD for five separate Sewer and Channel Design project sites, Mr. DeAngelo has written cost estimates, participated in the design of stream bank stabilization measures, and assisted with the Clean Water Act Section 404 and 401 permitting process. These projects consist of over 3,000 linear feet of stream bank stabilization and enhancement and will protect public infrastructure and private assets.
- Copperfield Streambank Stabilization - O'Fallon, Missouri - Mr. DeAngelo assisted in the writing of the Clean Water Act Section 404 and 401 permit application and will be providing quality control and construction oversight. This stream bank stabilization project will improve over 1,000 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Belleau Creek that is adjacent to residential properties and will utilize rock blankets, gabion baskets, and coir logs.
- Chapel Hill Mitigation Monitoring - Columbia, Missouri – Mr. DeAngelo monitored wetlands and riparian corridors that were created to mitigate for impacts to waters of the U.S. caused by the City of Columbia's expansion of roadway infrastructure. Monitoring activities included vegetative analysis, hydrologic observations, soil sampling, tree and shrub survival rate determination and photographic documentation. Mr. DeAngelo then assisted in the writing of the monitoring report which was submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
