In June 2026 a peer-reviewed article in AWWA Opflow documents sedimentation-basin algae control using an LG Sonic ultrasonic system at Central Alabama Water's Shades Mountain Filter Plant in Birmingham, Alabama. ...
Partial or temporary nutrient controls do not overcome sediment phosphorus stores. ( ACS, DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.5c05392 ) Operational translation: If a lake has 10–20 years of phosphorus accumulation in sediments, external nutrient control alone will not produce visible bloom reduction in year one or two. ...

GCCM offers a durable, installation-friendly alternative to traditional concrete lining for slope erosion control and drainage channel protection. In Jaipur, the Venus Capital Hike Project deployed Ocean Geosynthetics GCCM 9 MM to shield slopes and drainage channels from rainfall runoff and environmental stress. ...
In-water works such as dredging, piling and trenching stir up sediment that can: Smother benthic habitats Reduce water clarity, affecting photosynthesis in seagrass and other plants Transport attached contaminants further afield A properly designed and installed silt curtain creates a controlled zone where turbidity is contained and allowed to settle, ...
As fall set in, and construction continued, sediment control solutions were needed to help mitigate sediment migration from the project site onto neighboring lands. ...
When the time came for a new water line through Denver Water (Colorado) to be installed, a sediment control perimeter device was needed to protect the limits of disturbance from sediment intrusion. ...
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has developed The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System to encourage and accelerate the practice of sustainable green building and development. There are a variety of categories in the LEED' Rating System: Sustainable Sites (SS), Water Efficiency (WE), Materials & Resources (MR), Regional Priority (RP). ...
Introduction In the industrial dredging sector, Italy has many situations where basin maintenance, sediment removal, and upstream cleaning are vital. These actions ensure operational efficiency, safety, and environmental protection. In this case study, we analyze a Dragflow project in Italy. We highlight the main technical challenges, the chosen technology, the execution, and the final ...
Background Information Natural, glacial kettle lake formed over 12,000 years ago Considered a “Priority Lake” meaning it is considered an outstanding natural resource and needing protection and long term management 423 acres of lake surface, 1.43 miles long with 4.13 miles of shoreline Maximum depth is 44’ with an average depth of 18’ Part of the Mississippi ...
Background Information Kinnic River is 9.6 miles long and 93% urban land cover Watershed covers about 25 square miles and is home to 145,000 people Located in one of the most populated and poorest areas of the City of Milwaukee Flows into Lake Michigan through the Milwaukee Estuary Restoration efforts are underway to improve its ecosystem and address flood risks ...
Bailey's Creek Pilot Study In 2009, the first commercially-produced SediMite pellets were applied to a small test plot of PCB-impacted sediments of Bailey's Creek, a brackish intertidal salt marsh system. Pre- and post-application samples were analyzed for sediment contaminant concentration, carbon content, benthic community, and bioavailable portion of the ...
SediMite was applied in two locations of Canal Creek, Aberdeen Proving Ground as part of an ESTCP-funded field pilot study to test the efficacy of activated carbon in remediating sediments in-situ. Test and control plots were established in two portions of Canal Creek: a tidally-influenced freshwater marsh in the upper creek and a brackish creek channel in the ...
Construction projects require erosion and sediment controls – The Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates stormwater discharge to prevent water pollution. 4. ...
For many industries and construction projects, soil erosion is an environmental challenge that is hard to escape. And its impact can have far-reaching consequences. Without erosion control, soil erosion damages ecosystems and poses significant risks to infrastructure, safety, and long-term project success. Let's dive into its causes, effects, and available solutions so your team can implement ...
This includes managing waste, controlling emissions, and preventing pollution to safeguard natural resources and public health. ...
Dust mitigation plays a vital role in construction industry project planning. The effects of dust can cause environmental damage or lead to hefty fines. However, not all construction erosion control products are equally effective. And many do not provide dust control while being mindful of local wildlife, waterways, and ecosystems. In this article, we’ll explore three effective ...
Applications Liquid-solid interface monitoring is beneficial for many applications, such as: Environmental Monitoring: Monitoring sediment accumulation in ponds, lakes, and other natural water bodies helps with environmental conservation efforts by providing data on sedimentation rates and patterns. ...
Hydroseeding is generally considered environmentally friendly for three specific reasons: Erosion Control: Hydroseeding can help prevent soil erosion and degradation which can negatively impact entire ecosystems. ...
Environmental Protection Integrate environmental protection measures into the slipway design to minimize impacts on surrounding ecosystems and water quality. Consider erosion control measures, sedimentation controls, stormwater management systems, and wastewater treatment facilities. ...
