of Connecticut Landfill - Mansfield, CT |

The
University of Connecticut is undertaking a major landfill
closure and wetland restoration project at their Storrs
campus. Mason & Associates delineated the wetlands at
the site and performed a function and value assessment.
The company used this information to develop a mitigation
plan that included areas of both wetland creation and enhancement.
Wetland enhancement plans included extensive remediation
of wetland areas that were contaminated by the landfill.
Mason & Associates provided permitting services at both
the State and Federal level. Follow-on services have included
preparation of plans and specifications, construction monitoring,
and educational outreach with faculty and students. Mason
& Associates continues to monitor wetland development,
vegetation, soils, wildlife, hydrology, and amphibian breeding
habitat during the post-construction mitigation monitoring
period. |

This
project involved a number of improvements to the University
of Rhode Island’s W. Alton Jones conference facility,
including beach facility alterations, building additions,
and installation of a waterline that crosses an intermittent
stream channel, with its associated RIDEM jurisdictional
Riverbank Wetland, and Perimeter Wetland. Mason & Associates
performed fieldwork including wetland delineation based
on soils and vegetation. Mason & Associates worked with
the client and project architect to avoid and minimize impacts
to wetlands during the project. Technical analysis and mitigation
measures were provided in support of wetland permits granted
by RIDEM. |

Wetland
delineation and vegetation analysis were performed by Mason
& Associates at this Commonwealth of Massachusetts maximum
security prison. Assistance in the preparation of a Notice
of Intent wetland permit application was also provided for
a corrosion control facility project that required excavation
within the wetland buffer. Along with this fieldwork, Mason
& Associates worked with the client to develop plans
that resulted in only a temporary disturbance within the
buffer zone and no significant impacts to wetland. |
