and resolved a Notice of Violation related to a 27-acre
automobile salvage facility in Bellingham and Mendon, MA.
The project involved the development of a Stormwater Management
Plan that included wetland field delineation, drainage investigation,
Impact analysis and mitigation, stormwater management control,
and buffer vegetation plantings. Permit application development
and follow through included the coordination of on-site
meetings with Conservation Commission members from the two

Mason
& Associates assisted Tyco Printed Circuits Group in
their application to the Connecticut Department of Environmental
Protection for a Water Diversion Permit. The company provided
a variety of environmental services to demonstrate that
continued withdrawal of water from adjacent Riverside Pond
would not pose adverse environmental impacts. These environmental
services included natural resources mapping, wetland function
and value assessment, fishery investigation, bathymetric
mapping, and macro-invertebrate sampling. An evaluation
of Furnace Brook water quality was performed using the macro-invertebrate
data and EPA rapid bio-assessment methods. |

| Wetlands
Monitoring & Mitigation - East Greenwich, RI |
| 
|
Construction
and operation of remediation facilities at a major New England
industrial site posed impacts on area wetlands. As part
of the remediation, a long-term wetland monitoring and mitigation
plan was implemented. The wetlands program was developed
by Mason & Associates staff in the context of a state
ordered consent agreement. The program included monitoring
of construction impacts and indirect impacts to wetlands
expected as a result of a groundwater extraction system.
The program included monitoring of vegetation, wildlife
biota, hydrology, water chemistry, and soil geochemistry. |
