SES - Erosion Control/Stream Bank Stablization

Summary of Projects

Project	Client		Date
Stream Bank Stabilization	Premium Standard Farms, Inc.		June 2000 to Aug. 2001
Following the completion of remedial actions for a former waste lagoon at a swine production facility in Kansas, SES also designed and implemented stream bank stabilization measures to eliminate the erosion of a cutting stream into the former lagoon. The plan involved stabilizing the cutbank of the stream by regarding the slope and emplacement of rock armoring and vegetation. The process also included cleanup of debris littering the site, providing a stable and aesthetically pleasing stream.
Erosion Control and Sedimentation Assessment		Confidential		February-March 2001
SES provided expert technical support for defense of our client in litigation of damages resulting from excess sedimentation of a community lake from nearby construction sites. SES conducted a site assessment of the lake and drainage leading to it. We then quantified the potential amount of sediment that could have possibly emanated from our client’s site using erosion models and climatic data, as well as obtaining information about erosion control measures used during construction of buildings at the site. Our data demonstrated that erosion from the site contributed insignificant amounts of sediment to the lake and our client should not be held responsible for damages.
