Pigg River/Power Dam Removal
KBE completed a sediment fate and modeling study as part of the design and evaluation process for the removal of the Power Dam near Rocky Mount, VA. We partnered with the Friends of the Rivers of Virginia and the US Fish and Wildlife Service on this exciting project that has reconnected over 75 miles of river!
Clear Run Stream Restoration
KBE is working with Moffat and Nichol Engineering on the design and implementation of over 6,000 feet of stream restoration in Wilmington, NC. This innovative project will improve stability, water quality, and help control flooding in a highly urbanized watershed and residential neighborhood.
Cape Carteret Stormwater Retrofits
KBE is working with the NC Coastal Federation to retrofit two failing stormwater ponds in Cape Carteret, NC. This project involves an innovative infiltrating wetland design and restoration of historic salt marsh. It combines multiple goals of improving infrastructure, aesthetics, and water quality.
CVS Bioretention Conversion
KBE worked with Dragonfly Pond Works to convert a failed bioretention area to a stormwater wetland. Groundwater and soil media were causing drainage issues and making the BMP unsustainable. The new wetland has improved aesthetics, function, and lowered maintenance costs.
