APWA Project of the Year and ACEC Engineering Excellence Merit Award honors were received for Engineering Services provided for Wetland Engineering for Flood Control.  Services included Wetland Engineering Design, Detention Grading Plan, Landscape Architecture, Planting Plan, Native Planting Construction Specifications, and assistance with Construction Observation for a 14-acre-foot Wetland Detention Basin. Bioswales were engineered to convey filtered runoff into the wetland basin.  The Wetland Basin provided significant regional flood control as well as an innovative demonstration of environmentally sound alternative for flood abatement. Wetland features include multiple cells, emergent and aquatic vegetation, sediment forebays to facilitate sediment cleanout, interspersed pools, and native plantings. The wetland basin serves 190 acres of tributary area. Past nuisance residential flooding has been virtually eliminated. Project partners included 7 government agencies. Public Outreach included education regarding the typical lack of mosquito problems in healthy, functioning wetlands. Wetland Detention Basin Project Management and Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling was provided by team member Berns Clancy Associates. LWC observed construction by J.F. New Associates and others.
