Belle Isle Marsh Reservation Winthrop, MA
Site investigation and soil and ground water analysis to develop
criteria for park land design and construction on a filled
salt marsh, including leaching potential of saline soils,
underdrainage, cut and fill guidelines and plant materials.
Development of specialized laboratory tests to assay saline
seeps. Extensive test plots enabled successful salt water
marsh replication.
Nantasket Beach Reservation, Hull, MA
Soils and vegetation analysis at major beach site including
preparation of specifications and working drawings and construction
observation. Lack of landscape maintenance had led to weakened
vegetative cover.
Short Beach, Revere, MA
Sediment distribution study for beach fill project. Specifications
described regrading and sediment replenishment plan to recreate
usable beach area.
Tenean Beach, Dorchester, MA
Site analysis, soil and vegetation investigation, specifications
and construction observation; soil and sod specifications.
Earlier inappropriate plant material and intensive public
use had resulted in sparse growth and unstable soil conditions.
Coastline Management, Hull, MA
Site investigation and recommendations for restoration of
coastal bluffs including extensive erosion control measures.
Uncontrolled public access had caused extensive erosion and
shoreline recession. Appropriate plant materials were integrated
with varied erosion control measures.
George's Island, Boston Harbor, MA
Site analysis, soils and vegetation investigation. Study of
leaching potential of saline soils that had been dredged from
tidal zone. Since deep water disposal was not possible, dredged
spoils were leached and incorporated into planting areas.
Grover's Cliff Beach, Winthrop, MA
Sediment distribution study. Lack of natural beach sediment
deposition led to a cobble pavement. Beach resanding was specified
to maximize sediment stability and recreational value.
Lynn Beach Reservation, Lynn, MA
Dune stabilization study, specifications. Undirected public
access had caused extensive damage to dunes and vegetation.
Restoration required natural dune rebuilding and planting
barrier beach plant communities.
