Extreme Soil Lifts Solve Extreme Erosion in

Installation of sod, TRM, and flow transition mats along Rock Creek.

8 September/October 2010

The banks of Pennsauken Creek was eroding toward a condo complex.
F
or such a tiny, seemingly insignificant
urban drainageway, the unnamed
first order tributary to South Branch
Pennsauken Creek can be voracious.
“Flashy” is scarcely adequate to describe the
enormous bounce nearby residents would
witness with every rainfall, no matter how
small.
And with every rainfall, residents
would also see that the hungry little creek
had gouged away even more of the gaping
cavity at the base of a steep, 18-foot bank
STREAM RESTORATION
that was eroding toward their condo com-
plex.
Clearly, something had to be done.
But there was little elbow room in the
urban environs of Pennsauken Township,
New Jersey. The constraints of horizontal
space – with the condos facing an office
building parking lot only 120 feet across
the creek – were compounded by the com-
plexity of a nearly vertical, 18-foot high
erosional zone.
The answer? Instead of a convention-
al engineered retaining wall or perhaps an
unsightly boulder revetment, Pennsauken
Township chose a softer, bioengineering
approach – a concept that increasingly is
becoming the long-term, naturalized solu-
tion to streambank erosion problems.
To stop the threat to the condomini-
um, Applied Ecological Services, Inc., of
Conshohocken, PA, proposed a 10-foot
high stack of fabric encapsulated soil lifts,
vegetated with deep-rooted native plants,
shrubs and trees that, over time, would
gain in strength and provide the needed
stability. In all, the length of the wall of
soil lifts was only 80 feet, but the 10-foot
height and stack of 10 foot-thick soil lifts
was by far the highest ever designed and
constructed by their company.

STREAM RESTORATION
Along with hand seeding, native plugs, shrubs and tubelings were planted.
Runoff is the Culprit
Located just across the Delaware
River from Philadelphia, Pennsauken is a
typical urban community with a high per-
centage of impervious surface and the
associated stormwater runoff issues com-
mon in such a situation.
10 November/December 2010
“The real cause of the problem was
stormwater runoff. That’s easy to see,”
said AES water resources engineer Art
Wawiernia, P.E., who partnered with
AKRF, Inc., in the geomorphic assessment
and restoration design. “When the rains
come, the stream experiences quick, pow-
erful flows. It surges like a river. The sys-
tem is under a lot of pressure.”
Scott Quitel, AES senior ecologist,
added, “Between 2008 and 2010, we stud-
ied the site’s ecology and tried to take a
holistic view, with discussions of a series of
retrofits that may yet be possible. In addi-
tion to this stabilization project, we’ve
started the dialogue to address other
issues, such as reducing impervious surface
in the watershed, improving infiltration,
providing detention, etc.
“Could we remove some of the two-
acre asphalt parking lot, provide some
detention and infiltration buffer, and
reduce the volume of flow? Maybe. It’s
been encouraging because the township,
the residents, and other stakeholders are
really listening with open minds.”
The Problem of Space
Because the south bank had cut close
to the condominium complex and the
buildings themselves prevented access to
the creek by heavy equipment, work crews
from earthmoving subcontractor Gleim
Environmental Group could only reach
into the work envelope from the north
bank adjacent to the office complex park-
ing lot.
Thus, to reshape the nearly vertical
cutbank and prep the site for the 10 soil
STREAM RESTORATION

lifts that would replace the eroding bank,

Gleim used a long-reach excavator, work-
ing across the small channel. At the base
of the slope, they placed two stacked rows
of huge cubical boulders, which provided
a six-foot high rock foundation for the
10-foot wall of soil lifts. For this, Gleim
used an excavator with a thumb that was
able to accurately pick and place the two-
to four-ton boulders.
Behind each row of boulders, they
placed a four-foot wide pocket of loose
rock wrapped in filter fabric that would
serve to allow passage of water during low
(and high) flows without jeopardizing the
soil lifts above.
With rock in place, AES crews began
the labor-intensive effort to build soil lift

armored solutions are strong at first, but
weaken over time.”
Installation of the soil lifts was a
repetitive process. At the first two levels
above the rock base, crews placed 12-inch
layers of soil encapsulated by erosion con-
trol fabric specifically manufactured for
use in soil lifts, in combination with live
stakes of sand bar willow (Salix exigua),
silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and
elderberry (Sambucus canadensis).
Once the soil was in place, the lifts
were compacted with either a vibratory
walk-behind plate compactor, or a vibrato-
a compaction rate of 70 to 85% of maxi-
mum dry density. Compaction rates were
measured with a nuclear density gauge
and a static cone penetrometer to verify
that compaction had been accomplished
to the target density.
After compaction, the crews pulled
back and staked the lift with the fabric,
then laid another layer of fabric, soil,
compaction, and again fabric, soil, com-
paction, etc. Each 12-inch soil lift was
placed 18 inches behind the one below it,
creating a 1.5 to 1 slope, and providing an
18-inch bench for seeding and planting.
More than 50 different species of native
forbs, grasses, sedges, shrubs and trees
were installed in four different planting
zones (woody, herbaceous, wet planting
and riparian zones).
An inch of softer soil was placed on
each 18-inch bench before hand-seeding
the area and placing the fabric over the
lift. Once the stack of soil lifts was in
place, crews returned to each of the
benches, cut slits into the fabric and plant-
ed native species: herbaceous plugs, shrubs
and tubelings (small trees).

simplified construction, according to
LaPointe, because it is a double-layer,
high-strength coconut fiber blanket –
woven on one face and non-woven on the
other – which is specifically manufactured
for this type of application.
Each soil lift was anchored to the one
below it by pounding triangular stakes
through the fabric. In addition, between
every other lift, a layer of Mirafi Miragrid
5XT™ geogrid was installed to provide
sliding resistance between the lifts.
“The weight of the soil above the
geogrid is acting downward and out along
the exposed face, and the friction created
by the geogrid against the lift fabric above
and below resists the outward sliding,”
said Wawiernia. “This was key because we
were concerned about stability due to the
extreme height of the wall.”
In addition to the high south wall,
crews built a four-foot high wall of soil
lifts on the north bank. And, to stop the
advance of a rapidly advancing three-foot
deep headcut in the stream channel, a
series of three step pools were created to
provide improved in-stream habitat and
convey high flows over the 3-foot channel
height differential in a non-erosive manner.
The step pool sequence was built by
creating mini-dams, or rock weirs, with
on-site rock and some imported rock.
Scour pools were excavated downstream
from each rock weir. The step-pool struc-
tures not only stabilized the headcut but
also serve to provide in-stream habitat for
a local population of bullfrogs that were
salvaged and relocated during the con-
struction.
Finally, 500 feet upstream from the
streambank stabilization, the company
also restored and revegetated two
2,200-square foot areas up-slope from an
installation of gabions that had been
constructed by the Township several years
earlier to stabilize the outfall of a 3-foot
culvert. Again, all native species were used
to revegetate the area including 10 forbs,
six grasses/sedges, seven shrubs/vines and
six tree species.
Crews also installed brush fascines
just downstream from the gabions where
bank erosion had occurred.
“This little stream system exhibits all
the classic impacts of development that
occurred years ago before agencies began
pursuing the usual stormwater BMPs in
use today,” Wawiernia said. “There are
several storm sewer outfalls that pipe
stormwater directly into the stream with-
out being routed through a pond or basin,
so the stream is getting punched in the gut
left and right whenever there is any kind
of rain event.
“For now, we’ve addressed the acute
geotechnical instability and we’ve
improved the riparian habitat by removing
invasives and planting native vegetation.
We stabilized the bank and reassured the
condo residents with a solution that is
protecting the adjacent infrastructure, and
we hope to be able to provide additional
stormwater retrofits in the future to fur-
ther reduce the effects of urbanization on
the stream system.” L&W

Steamboat Ski Resort’s Base Area
Regrade And Revegetation Project
Looking down at the base of the Steamboat Ski area from under the Christie Express Lift. Before photo taken September 2008
and the after photo (inset) taken July 2009.
T
he lower part of the Steamboat Ski
Resort’s mountain, where the be-
ginner area is located, had a design
problem. The draws and double fall lines
that Mother Nature provided had a ten-
dency to bunch people together. As a
result the terrain was not conducive for
teaching both skiing and snowboarding
and it was decided to re-grade and re-
shape the contours of the Base Area. The
project involved re-shaping the lower 25
acres of the mountain terrain, from the
top of the Christy chair, down to the base
of the Gondola lift without removing nor
adding any soil.
In their efforts to comply with Phase
Two of the Clean Water Act, the Ski Corp
employed over 25 employees full-time for
nearly three months to install berms,
swales, check dams and other erosion con-
trol BMP’s.
Background
By the time the Steamboat Ski Resort
officially broke ground in 1958, it’s skiing
history was already over 45 years old.
That is partially because Carl Howelsen
left Norway to immigrate to the United
States in 1905. He had no idea he was
about to become the grandfather of skiing
in the Yampa Valley, where the little town
of Steamboat Springs rested. Howelsen, a
great Norwegian ski champion, moved to
Chicago and joined Barnum & Bailey’s
C i rc u s a n d b e c a m e “ T h e Fl y i n g
Norseman”. Eventually, he tired of the
circus, longed for the outdoors and the
mountains and headed west to Denver in
1909 (Leif Hovelsen, 1983).
In 1911 he and a friend skied 44
miles from Rollins Pass into Hot Sulphur
Springs, where they found a Winter
Carnival in progress. After building a
jumping ramp he sailed seventy nine feet
in the air and wowed the townspeople,
who immediately planned a jumping tour-
nament for the following February
(Middle Park Times, 1984).
By 1941 Steamboat Springs, CO held its
31st annual Winter Sports Carnival and
SOIL AMENDMENTS
raised $110,000.00 in war subscriptions
during the Fourth War Loan Drive of
Routt County (Sureva Towler, 1987).
On July 6, 1958 James Temple broke
ground for the new Storm Mountain Ski
Area in Steamboat Springs. Between 1958
and 1961 he secured options to buy 827
acres of meadow land at the base of the
mountain. “Champagne powder” was the
descriptive phrase used to promote the
area.   He gave credit to a Kremmling
rancher, Joe McElroy, who said the fluffy
dry snow was “lighter than champagne
bubbles”. (Sureva Towler, 1987).
Today the mountain consists of a
total of 2,965 skiable acres ranging in alti-
tude from 6900 ft to 10,568 ft above sea
level. They have 164 runs: 14% beginner,
42% Intermediate and 44% Expert.
The Problem
The very bottom of the mountain
serves two purposes; first it is the primary
area where beginning skier and snow-
boarding lessons are taught. Secondly, it is

SOIL AMENDMENTS

the only way off of the mountain on skis.

The problem with this terrain was its
pitch. It was relatively flat at the top with
almost a twenty-two percent grade at the
bottom. Mother Nature had separated
this area into two trails with different ele-
vations and a transition in between, that
created a double fall line. It did not go
straight down the mountain toward the
bottom, but fell away to the right. While
advanced skiers can navigate these lines it
is difficult for beginners. It also presented
a challenge for the machines that groom
the slopes on a nightly basis.

The Goal
The intent of the re-grade was to sep-
arate this area into three distinct trails,
each with a consistent pitch. The steepest
section would hold annual events such as
the Cardboard Classic (A race of sleds
constructed out of cardboard) and the The Soil Guard protected and seeded ski slope under the Christie Express Lift in the

At this point they needed to remove the
old lines and grade the center trail and
teaching area. This took approximately
two weeks and all rough grading was com-
pleted. Fortunately, it was a mild fall and
snow came late, allowing additional time
to install temporary drainage swales and
BMP’s to secure the area for the winter.
Straw erosion control blankets were
installed over the site to mitigate erosion
for the winter. A crew of six workers spent
two weeks installing the blankets to secure
the area (approx 500 man hours).

Controlling spring runoff on a site,
twenty-five acres in size, that receives four
hundred and fifty to five hundred inches
of snow a season, can represent a huge
challenge. It can take over twenty inches
of light snow to equal an inch of moisture
but only five or six inches of wet heavy
snow to equal the same amount. An area
such as Steamboat Springs receives about
30 inches of moisture each winter, not
including the man-made snow. During
the spring runoff, the melted water runs

bottom of the snow. It can erode the soil
at an alarming rate with the weight of the
snow that remains on top.
A crew of eight workers and a mini
excavator were assigned full time to muck
out behind check dams and sediment
traps seven days a week for three to four
weeks during what is referred to as “mud
season”. This represents approximately
1800 man hours. The crew also rein-
forced check dams once they dried out to
insure their stability. Water from the three
main diversion ditches was funneled
toward a series of three oversize dewater-
ing bags 15 feet by 40 feet to catch as
much sediment as possible.
After things started drying out the
heavy equipment was brought in and the
final grading began. Since the beginner’s
area had been moved the “Magic Carpets”
had to be moved from one side to the
other. Magic carpets are small conveyor
belts that move slowly to transport begin-
ners standing upright to the top of the
area.
The topsoil was re-installed averaging
approximately six inches deep over the
entire project. Approximately one half of
a million cubic feet of topsoil was removed
and re-installed.
Stormwater Management
A permanent set of trenches and
ditches had to be constructed to channel
moisture down the mountain and create
permanent drainage. Even after the reveg-
etation was finalized, the sheer volume of
water runoff necessitated a series of drain-
age channels to prevent the combination
of snowmelt and sub-ground water from
scouring and compromising the integrity
of the soil.
The four main vertical diversion
ditches were designed to transport water

from the smaller grid of horizontal trench-
es and withstand greater hydraulic pres-
sures. Permanent rock check dams were
placed to slow the velocity and contain
sediment at prescribed intervals. Their
distance apart was determined by the slope
with the bottom of the upstream dam at
the same height as the top of the down-
stream dam.
They were reinforced with Landlok
300, a synthetic Turf Reinforcement Mat
designed to prevent scouring or riling of
the ditch. This TRM is designed to pro-
tect vegetative growth in velocities above
10 feet per second.
The horizontal water bar trenches
were set in a grid that ran across the hill at
approximately a ten degree slope to break
the square footage of the mountain into
small, manageable areas. Biodegradable
straw wattles were placed in each trench
using the same criteria as the rock check
dams to contain the sediment in any given
area. They fed into the larger diversion
ditches to transport the water down the
mountain.
A crew of twenty to twenty five
employees worked full time for ten weeks
to install the wattles and rock check dams.
This took approximately 10,000 man
hours to complete. Almost all of the rock
used for the check dams was deposited on
the hill in batches and hand placed.

The topsoil was then harrowed to
soften it up and make sure it was consis-
tent in depth. Seed and Biosol organic
fertilizer was then worked into the mix
and harrowed once more.
Biosol Mix 7-2-3 is an all natural

Wine Into Water
Progressive Winery Turns Wastewater Into Environmental Benefits
Niner Wine Estates primary wastewater treatment lagoon.
F
ounded in 2001, privately owned Nin-
er Wine Estates is dedicated to making
the highest quality wines possible in
the Paso Robles Wine Region, using only
estate-grown fruit from its vineyards. Al-
though the wine label has a nine year his-
tory, only recently has it had a place to call
home with its new estate vineyard, produc-
tion facility and tasting room nestled in the
heart of California’s Central Coast wine
country.
The Challenge
A 50,000 case per year winery, estate
vineyard, and luxurious tasting room are
all going to have impacts to surrounding
natural resources. One of the largest con-
cerns during the planning stage was the
impact of irrigating 54 acres of grapes
from an aquifer that was already parched
from other surrounding vineyards. To
reduce impacts to water resources, plan-
ners implemented conservation and reuse
techniques such as rainwater catchment
and wastewater recycling. Neighbors were
concerned about the noise and odors that
typically come from a winery wastewater
lagoon. These concerns drove designers to
look for solutions that would shift the way
that winery wastewater was viewed.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Wastewater could no longer be seen as a
liability or something to dispose of, but
something to be used for irrigation, dust
control, and or providing fire protection.
Since the effluent would be land
applied, the wastewater treatment system
had to abide by the provisions set forth by
the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board under the General Waste
Discharge Requirements for Discharges of
Fruit and Vegetable Processing Waste.
The wastewater treatment design
requirement were that the system would
meet discharge limits at 200 mg/L BOD
and 200 mg/L TSS and be large enough to

accommodate a 100-year, 24-hour storm
event from all impervious surfaces at the
production facility. These objectives had
to be met while treating some of the stron-
gest and most variable waste streams in the
beverage processing industry. With influ-
ent values regularly exceeding 5,000 gpd
at 5,000 mg/L BOD and 300 mg/L TSS
22 November/December 2010
during process season, the aeration system
had to be sized to meet such flows while
not being so large that energy was wasted
during 8 months when there is little flow.
In addition, the system had to be as
quiet as possible, and odorless as not to
interfere with the ambiance of Niner
Wine Estates beautiful tasting room, or
those of their neighbors. With California
paying some of the highest energy costs in
the nation, operating cost was a concern as
well.
The Solution
As exclusive California distributors of
Air Diffusion Systems (ADS), EP Aeration
of San Luis Obispo recognized that ADS’s
fine bubble aeration system was uniquely
suited to address the water resource con-
cerns at Niner Wine Estates and
approached the project’s consulting engi-
neers at Wallace Group, also based in San
Luis Obispo. ADS was chosen to provide
the aeration component of the system
because of their guarantee to be odorless
and meet discharge requirements while
operating at a fraction of the energy
required by an industry standard surface
aerator.
The treatment system is a grid work
of 14 air diffusers which lay on the bot-
tom of the primary lagoon. ADS uses ½”
Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) tubing
which is surgically cut to produce a guar-
anteed bubble size of 1/8” diameter or less.
Each disk module provides a continuous
laminar flow of more than a billion bub-
bles per day mixing the equivalent of 18
 WASTEWATER TREATMENT

million gallons each. Fine-bubble aeration
systems achieve oxygenation primarily via
mass transfer of oxygen between the bub-
ble and the water.
By ensuring positive dissolved oxygen
(DO) levels at the sludge-water interface,
the system facilitates an aerobic communi-
ty of bacteria that consume organic sedi-
ments at a much faster rate than anaerobic
bacteria. Sludge accumulation is a com-
mon problem with activated sludge
mechanical treatment plants, and older
lagoons. At an average cost of $15 - $20
per cubic yard to remove, dredging can be
a very expensive proposition. With an esti-
mated accumulation rate of only 1” per
year, the ADS system extends dredge
intervals to an expected 20 years or more
in an industry where dredge intervals usu-
ally max out at 5 years.
The aeration tubing can be config-
ured in a linear fashion or in this case
coiled inside of a 4’ diameter stainless steel
frame to produce the more common
“disk” style of diffusion. The diffusers are
supplied with air through self weighted
LDPE feeder tubing which is attached to
2” butt fused HDPE header pipe that runs
on shore along the length of the lagoon.
Thirty feet of 2” 304 stainless steel pipe is

used to cool the air between the blowers
and the HDPE header pipe. Two of the 14
diffusers are separated by an Environetics
floating baffle on the effluent end of the
lagoon to facilitate solids settling.
ADS diffusers also produce a tremen-
dous amount of mixing which eliminates
anaerobic “dead spots” that are the source
of the odors associated with wastewater
lagoons. Due to the laminar flow achieved
by ADS diffusers, sediments are not lifted
or mixed. They are able to settle around
bubble plumes where they will be digested
by aerobic bacteria. As the bubbles lift the
water to the surface additional oxygen-
ation occurs by contact with the atmo-
sphere.
The air is supplied via a series of three
7.5 horsepower Kaeser Omega Model BB

Displacement Blowers. Kaeser blowers
were chosen for their performance, pro-
ducing 70 CFM each at 7 PSI and quiet
operation at only 72 dB(A). A staged
approach to air supply was applied so
when the winery was not producing much
waste, the system operates on 3.8 brake
horsepower (BHP). During peak process-
ing season, a second blower used to pro-
vide oxygen for the added flows and loads
for a total of 7.6 BHP. A third blower is
kept as a standby in case one of the others
breaks down or needs to be serviced. It
also acts as a supplemental air supply to
provide oxygen for any spike loading.
Blower use is rotated manually to main-
tain equal wear and tear. Although the

ation, a SCADA system can easily be
incorporated into the Kaeser motor con-
trol panels.
Other important components of the
system include pre-treatment via an
ammonia sparge system for pH buffering
of acidic winery wastewater and a flex rake
to remove large solids before they reach
the primary lagoon. After BOD removal
via aeration, the water then flows into a
constructed wetland for polishing and
finally into a holding reservoir which is
also aerated for algae control. The reser-
voir and wetlands serve multiple purposes
for irrigation, fire control, and wildlife
habitat.
Construction
Specialty Construction Inc. of San
Luis Obispo won the contract for building
out the entire Niner Wine Estates proper-
ty. Construction of the wastewater treat-
ment system began in August 2008 with
two small buildings and the excavation,
compaction, plumbing and lining of the
primary lagoon, constructed wetland, and
holding reservoir. Construction halted in
October 2008 to avoid resource damage in
the rainy months.
The dimensions of the primary
lagoon are about 1/3rd of an acre and 14’
deep with an additional 2’ of freeboard.
Soils were compacted to 95% and lined
with 60-mil HDPE pond liner manufac-
tured by GSE and underlain with geo-fab-
ric. Once the lagoon was dug and lined, 4’
long galvanized U-channel fence posts
were driven into the ground and laser lev-
eled to support the header pipe. Concrete
posts were also set as anchors for the float-
ing baffle. The header pipe arrived on the
job in 7 pieces with factory fused Jaco
compression fittings that receive the feeder
tubing. The contractor simply had to butt
fuse the pieces together and mount the
header on the level fence post. EP

and feeder tubing being sure to check
every connection with Snoop Leak
Detector.
The constructed wetland and holding
reservoir were built in conjunction with
the primary lagoon. Both were compacted
to 95% relative compaction and lined
with 60 mil pondliner. Two inch PVC
with drilled holes facing down was used to
emit water on the influent side of the wet-
land while 4” PVC with holes facing up
was used to receive water on the effluent
end. The wetland was filled 3’ deep with
gravel of mixed sizes. The gravel acts as a
bacterial growth media as well as a root
media for wetland species such as Cattail
(Typha, spp.), Bulrush (Scirpus, spp.),
Canna Lily (Canna, spp.), Blue Flag Iris
(Iris, spp.), and others. The holding reser-
voir was outfitted with a single diffuser
aeration system which operates on a 1/3rd
horsepower Thomas wobble style air
compressor. Air is transferred from the
compressor to the reservoir edge via 1”
schedule 40 PVC where it is coupled into
self weighted feeder tubing that leads to
the diffuser.
A 12’ X 15’ insulated cinder block
building was built to house the three
blowers, stainless steel header/cooling
pipe, controls, and maintenance materials.
A separate 12’ X 15’ cinder block building
was built next to the holding reservoir to
house large water pumps for both irriga-
tion and fire suppression at the winery.
Construction of the system resumed
in April 2009 with the installation of
header pipes and supports followed by the
diffusers, ancillary plumbing and electrical
service in June 2009. The system became
completely operational in July 2009.
Result
The system has now been through a
full year of operation including a process
season. The result is high-quality water
that is odorless and meets state mandated
water quality requirements while operat-
ing at 25% of the electrical requirements
of industry standard surface aerators. The
recycled water is used to supplement
approximately 15% of the estate vineyard’s
water demand. The recycled water and
energy savings make the system a model of
sustainability in the wine industry.
There are no electrical or moving
parts in the water, making it very safe and
simple to operate and maintain. Blowers
require regular oil and air filter changes
and diffusers require annual cleaning
which is made simple by the factory fused,
cleaning solution injection ports on the
header pipe. Diffusers never require any
in-water maintenance and are expected to
last 20+ years in this application.
Finally, by working through the local
energy purveyor’s (PG&E) Savings by
Design program, the owner will receive a
rebate of about 10% off the capital costs
based on the energy savings when com-
pared to surface aeration. The system also
saves about $17,000 per year in energy
costs and will help them achieve LEED
certification. Niner Wine Estates will be
among only a handful of wineries in
California to achieve the distinguished
certification for environmental steward-
ship. L&W

What’s Old is New:
Geosynthetics and Renewable Energy
T
he utilization of wind, solar, manure
and other renewable energy elements
for the generation of electricity is not
a new art or science, but the incorpora-
tion of these energy endeavors on larger
scales is quite recent, particularly in the
United States. (Many European nationas
have long track records of incorporating
alternative power into national and local
grids.) Geosynthetic materials are playing
a strong role. From geomembranes used in
methane-harvesting landfill caps to geotex-
tile bags for off-shore wind

synthetics are furthering the
growth of alternative energy
sectors.
Dewatering Sludge
Dewatering sludge to
gather biosolids at waste-
water treatment plants
(WWTPs) is a vastly unde-
rutilized technology. One
method of dewatering this
sludge is through the use of
geosynthetic tubes. While
municipal solid waste can
be burned to produce
4,000 Btu/lb, the WWTP
dried sludge from biosolids
generates even more: 6,000

The experience was nearly the same
for the construction of Idaho’s largest
wind farm. Haulage and access roads
needed to be built. More than 50% of the
wind farm’s 100 turbines had to be com-
pleted in only a few months, but the soil
conditions were not ideal. The ground
throughout the Wolverine Creek Wind
Farm in Idaho Falls was dry and silty.
These conditions created a weak founda-
tion for the constant heavy traffic that
would be accessing the location. Without
proper support for the construction equip-
ment rutting would be inevitable, adding
delays to the already tight development
schedule.

tive for time and cost.
A detailed analysis of possible solu-
tions was performed using SpectraPave™
Software, a design program from Tensar
International. Incorporating geogrids was
the best choice for meeting the owner’s
goal of completing Phase One on schedule
and was recommended for placement
under a 10-inch aggregate layer to create a
stable and strong platform for the heavily-
wind farm site.
The installation of geogrid in the sub-
grade would allow more truck passes,
without road failure and with less aggre-
gate than the original design had mandat-
ed. Today, the Wolverine Creek Wind
Farm continues to perform well. Its 43
1.5-megawatt turbines produce
64.5-megawatts.
And due to the eight-inch reduction
in the required thickness of the aggregate
layer when using this geogrid design, a
savings of over $32,000 was achieved. The
reduction of aggregate also meant less
truck traffic across the site and its sur-
rounding areas, which local residents
appreciated for reasons of both noise and
environmental impact.
Off-Shore Wind Farms
Conventional scour protections for
off-shore installations are difficult to
install and secure. Currents complicate
foundations, creating a situation in which
the installation might not be stable in the
long term. Deep foundations are prohibi-
tively expensive. In the growing wind farm
sector, the large, heavy turbines must be

NAUE’s Soft Rock® nonwoven geo-

Traditional scour protection has com-
bined a low granular filter weighted down

 PONDS

Most Common Mistakes

in Pond Building

Mark Cornwell, on the tractor, builds a water course for his equestrian wife’s horses, part of their cross-country training, directly
adjacent to his fishing pond in upstate New York. Plan early. Inset: And here’s the Cornwell pond, with horses, after filling.

T
here’s a sweet spot on your property
to have a pond. You can see it, down
the hill a little bit, nestled in a bristly,
brushy valley below your favorite place. For
some time, you’ve envisioned water, beauti-
ful blue color, teeming with fish, a flock of
ducks calling your wet spot “home” for the
moment. It’s a peaceful place, filling that
low spot on the land.
You must have it.
What do you do? Where to start?
There is a list of mistakes people
make once they decide to build a pond.
Used to, not that many years ago, you
simply called the local bulldozer operator,
asked him to build a pond and then, pres-
to-chango, you had a pit surrounded by a
pile of dirt that soon had water lapping at
the surface.
That’s not how it works today.
The first big mistake people make is
to assume. Never assume. You have to
know what to expect. That means plan-
ning. Lots of planning. Planning means
learning. Start with goals. Goals give you a
target.
Just because that beautiful, perfect-
looking site you have in mind’s eye looks
ideal…it may not be.
A site must fit the pond and the pond
must fit the site. Two totally different con-
cepts become one. Not only should your
dream pond be aesthetically appealing and
fit the site, the site should be practical to
build a pond.
Uh, exactly what does that mean?

www.landandwater.com • www.escn.tv 31
 PONDS

Start with maps. Topographical
maps and aerial photos. Evaluate the
watershed. Most people don’t do
that. The size of the watershed, com-
pared with average rainfall for your
area, determines the size a pond
should be. If your watershed drains
50 acres into that valley, the pond
will be a different size than for a
watershed which drains 500 acres.
That’s how the pond fits the site.
After you figure out how large
the pond should be, the next mistake
people make is misunderstanding the
soils. Not all soils are good for pond
building. Clay is a must. Avoid a
leaky pond by understanding the best
soil types for compaction in an earth-
en levee or an excavated pond. Often
times, soil in a valley was deposited
there over many, many years. That
means a mixture of soil types, mostly
those that like to move. Make sure
your soils will work for the project.
Dig test holes and evaluate. That’s
how the site fits the pond.
Another big mistake people
make is to assume the contractor you
choose can read your soils and then
This pond in southern Illinois was built to grow sun-
fish. But, the dry hydrant was planned early in order
to help with insurance rates for the home nearby. The
cables were installed as an afterthought, to build a
suspension bridge for fun. Notice the wood duck box
in the background.
know how to separate those soils and
build a proper structure and stay
within your budget. Ah, budget.
That’s another mistake. Until you
have thoroughly evaluated the site,
determined watershed size, soil types
and designed a workable plan, there’s
no way to estimate how much dirt
must be moved in order to build a
dam or excavate your new pond.
Estimates come from knowing how
much dirt needs to be moved and
how far it must be moved. Two key
things here…know the volume of
dirt that must be moved to estimate
the cost and choose the best contrac-
tor for the job, not necessarily the
cheapest. Best is better than cheap.
Okay, you’ve pushed past the
watershed, figured out there’s enough
clay to do what you want and select-
ed the best contractor. You’ve figured
out how many cubic yards of dirt
must be moved around to do what
you want to do and a written esti-
mate is lying on your desk and
weighing in your mind.
What are other common mis-
takes?

type of agreement does not require Corps
Headquarters approval and this was
crucial due to the time frame we had to
complete work,” stressed Olha. “The only
problem with a CFMOA is that the work
being performed needed to be $2 million
or less and the extra costs to pump the
sand was $2.3 million.”
The Corps continued to negotiate
with GLDD, in hopes of finding a solu-
tion to the money issue. But with time
ticking away decisions had to be made, so
the CFMOA was signed in hopes of
finding an alternative cost effective and
environmentally friendly solution.
Birds of a Feather
One of the Corps missions is to be
good environmental stewards by taking
into consideration the environmental con-
sequences of any Corps project and acting
accordingly. At Rockaway Beach there are
several endangered bird species that nest
along the beach during the spring months.
While looking for alternative cost effective
solutions to pumping the sand all the way
up to 103rd street, the Corps had to con-
sider the wildlife that could be affected by
their work. Because of this, options were

would take between 6,000-8,000 truck- GLDD was obligated to begin work at
loads of sand over several months to East Rockaway Inlet around February

2010, but due to bad weather and other
contractual obligations, GLDD said they
would not be able to get their dredges to
East Rockaway until the end of April,
which would put them in violation of
their contract. Due to this unexpected
turn of events, the Corps was able to
negotiate with GLDD to provide the
dredging and sand pumping needed at a
reduced costs.
“It took some tough negotiations to
work out a solution agreeable to both par-
ties but what we were able to arrive at was
a solution that allowed Great Lakes to
mobilize the dredge at East Rockaway
Inlet much later than the Corps contract
required as long as they pumped the sand
directly to the Beach 92-103 street area
within our budget,” said John Tavolaro,
deputy chief of operations for the Corps
of Engineers New York District. “This
allowed Great Lakes to meet their goal of
avoiding a contract dispute and allowed us
to meet our goal of providing sand to the
beach erosion area prior to Memorial Day.
It was a win-win situation for everyone,
including beachgoers.”
On May 6, 2010, GLDD moved
their dredge in to East Rockaway Inlet and
began placing sand along the Rockaway
Beach coastline. The dredging and sand
pumping only took 10 days to complete,
weeks before the Memorial Day weekend,
which met the goal date for NYCPR to
open the beach for the summer season.
Dredging was done by the hydraulic cut-
terhead dredge “Alaska”. The hydraulic
cutterhead dredge worked by lowering a
large diameter pipe to the bottom, with a
large rotating cutting head on the end,
much like a large drill bit. The cutting
head dug into the bottom and hydraulic
pumps brought the sand up through the
pipe, into a longer pipeline that extends all
the way to the beach. Once there, the sand
was deposited and spread around by bull-
dozers. The beach was filled with sand
using the pipe as it moved around the
entire area of the beach. The work
involved about a dozen people on the
dredge (masters, mates, deckhands), a
beach crew of about seven or so people
(welders, machine operators, laborers),
and tug and tender crews (4-5 people) to
move people and tend to the pipeline.
Though the chances of the sand even-
tually washing away again is high, for the
interim, it will serve its purpose by provid-
ing a well restored beach. “There’s no
question this is a short-term solution,”
SHORELINE RESTORATION
said Olha. “It’s Mother Nature that will
wash the sand back into the water - nature
rules”.
But, until a more long-term solution
can be built, NYCPR is just happy to have
a beach for the 2010 season.
“We dealt with a lot of struggles and
many obstacles along the way to get this
project completed,” said Webber. “But, in
the end it all worked out. There were a lot
of people that came together from the
Corps, and the city to make sure this
project got completed and the beach was
ready for the summer and we are just
thrilled. We have a beach this season, sand
for people to lie on and even a place to
put a lifeguard stand. The Corps of
Engineers New York District has just done
a wonderful job. It’s terrific.” L&W

To ensure all hydro-

goal was to keep the hydro-

fungus, but wet enough to ger-

and irrigation adjustments, the company
avoided major fungus problems in its

North Wind’s Weir Intertidal
Restoration Project
This April 2009 photo looking downstream shows the northern half of the berm
installed near the end of Phase I construction. Coir fabric and straw are used to
reduce erosion. The patch of green visible to the left of the berm is a naturally oc-
curring emergent marsh adjacent to the site.
K
ing County Department of Natu-
ral Resources and Parks in partner-
ship with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources
completed construction of an intertidal
restoration project on the lower Duwamish
waterway within the City of Tukwila,
Washington in April 2010. The project site
is located south of the City of Seattle in a
critically important “transition zone” with-
in the Green-Duwamish watershed where
young Pacific salmon complete the process
of transforming from the freshwater phase
to marine phase of their complex life his-
tory. Development of the lower river has
all but eliminated the extensive wetlands,
salt marsh, mudflat and similar habitats
once present within this zone. Researchers
have concluded that the loss of this type of
habitat reduces the fitness of the juvenile
salmon entering the ocean environment
and ultimately results in fewer returning as
adults. Restoration of this type of estuarine
habitat has been identified as critically im-
portant to the recovery of depleted salmon
populations in the Pacific Northwest.
The September 2010 issue of Land
and Water featured background informa-
tion and detailed the first phase of con-
struction of this project. In this article,
the final phase of construction including
grading, connection to the river and large
woody debris placement will be described.
In addition, this article contains reflec-
tions and lessons learned about design and
construction intended to provide insight
to future designers and project proponents
dealing with similar circumstances or con-
ditions.
Project Overview
The North Wind’s Weir Intertidal
Restoration project was designed to create
approximately three acres of off-channel,
shallow water resting and rearing habitat
in the Duwamish River ‘transition zone,’
essential for salmon recovery. This was to
be accomplished by excavating fill material
from a vacant industrial site adjacent to
the river to establish elevations that would
be subject to regular tidal influence and
inundation and connected to the river via
an inlet/outlet channel. On in-coming
tides, the site was designed to fill with
water through the tidal channel, flooding
the mudflat and marsh areas. At higher
tides, water would also enter the site across
HABITAT RESTORATION
a peninsula of mudflat and marsh along
the northern half of the property and
inundates the entire site. The slopes and
elevations were designed for the mudflats
and marsh to drain completely at the low-
est tides, but the connection channel was
intended to remain filled except for
extremely low tides. The project created
approximately 1.66 acres of shallow inter-
tidal habitat during an average high tide
and 0.72 acres during an average low tide.
The excavated area would provide a
combination of habitat types including
mudflat, emergent marsh, and riparian/
upland area. The project design involved
the removal of 365 feet of shoreline pro-
tection along with roughly 65,000 cubic
yards of soil, construction debris and other
material used to fill the site in the past.
Phase II Construction
Construction of Phase II began in
October 2009 under the direction of
Construction Engineering Division of the
Northwest Area Office of the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Corps
of Engineers provided contract adminis-
tration as well as direct construction man-
agement and inspection for the duration
of the project. Over the course of 12
weeks, the contractor removed approxi-
mately 35,000 cubic yards of soil, concrete
rubble and construction debris remaining
on the property. The contractor was also
responsible for installation of logs as habi-
tat features and connecting the site to the
Duwamish River. Planting was completed
as part of a separate effort by others.
During excavation, the contractor
encountered a large volume of foundry
slag buried onsite. Slag had been found
during preliminary soil investigations and
Phase I excavation, but the volume uncov-
ered during the Phase II was much larger
than expected. The material had previous-
ly been tested and determined to be
“clean”, but its presence caused a short
delay in construction because handling

and disposal of this material that was not
explicitly covered in the contract. To
avoid a protracted delay, the sub-contrac-
tor moved the slag off site to their storage
yard until mutually agreeable terms could
be reached. Resolution of this issue took
several months, but ultimately a contract
modification was issued to compensate the
contractor for the additional cost and
effort.
Isolation from the River
Isolation of the work area during
Phase II construction was of critical
importance in this tidally influenced reach
of the river. With daily tidal fluctuations
ranging from 8 to 12 feet, the isolation
berm constructed near the end of phase I
was left in place until the very end of con-
struction to provide relatively dry working
conditions for the equipment and crews,
to prevent erosion of the exposed slopes
and to minimize impacts to fish and wild-
life using the river environment. Even
with the site isolated from the river, the
construction crew needed to manage
groundwater entering the site from the
upland areas to the east and river water
seeping through the berm and underlying
soils. This was less of a problem around
the perimeter of the site where planned
elevations were well above typical ground-
water and river elevations, but grew
increasingly difficult near the planned
entrance to the site (mudflat and tidal
channel) that were designed to be at or
below mean lower low tide.
To deal with the water, the crew
divided the site into two roughly equiva-
lent halves with a raised access road con-
structed in between. The crew found that
pumping water from one cell to the other
afforded them access and sufficient time to
complete the grading and installation of
the log habitat structures in all but the
lowest elevations. Working at night to be
in sync with the lowest possible tides, the
crew was able to limit the amount of water
they needed to manage. The combination
of these strategies allowed them to com-
plete grading without need of portable
sedimentation tanks or discharging turbid
water into the river.
Habitat Features
Once the majority of the grading was
complete, the contractor placed eighty-six
logs at specified elevations across the site

to serve as habitat elements. The design
called for use of conifer logs (specifically
Douglas fir or western red cedar) with
minimum lengths of 25 feet and diameters
ranging from 12 to 20 inches measured at
breast height (dbh). The majority of the
logs were required to have a large root ball
attached. Large logs that fall into the
water from adjacent riparian forests are a
common component of northwest rivers
and serve to create complex channel con-
ditions, variable flow velocities and cover
for juvenile salmon that would otherwise
be more susceptible to predation from
birds and larger fish. Whether indepen-
dent or in naturally occurring jams, these
logs also create areas of slow water where
fish can get out of the current to rest while
waiting for food items to drift by in the
faster current. In the tidal environment,
wood is also used by a variety of insect,
birds and a myriad of aquatic organisms
that utilize the intertidal habitat.
The logs were generally placed in
clusters of three to five pieces to provide
three dimensional cover across a wider
range of tidal conditions. The site is sub-
ject to regular tidal fluctuations (up to 12
feet) but not direct river current and
therefore the logs required anchors to hold
them in place. The final design called for
two earth anchors per log to offset the
natural buoyancy force of each log with a
factor of safety of 3 (three times the capac-
ity). Over time, the logs are expected to
become waterlogged and the anchors will
simply prevent them from moving out
with the tides.
Connection to the River
After carefully evaluating the condi-
tions, tidal cycles and construction
options, the contractor proposed a con-
nection sequence that would remove the
berm in stages. The first stage was
planned to occur in the northern half of
the site where the finish grades along the
river’s edge were close to the mean high
water line. After completing the final
grading and site stabilization within that
area, the crew installed a floating silt cur-
tain with a weighted toe within the river
along the length of the property. In addi-
tion, the crew left the construction access
road bisecting the interior of the site intact
as an interim barrier; protecting the south-
ern half of the site from inundation from
lower level tides. With these measures in
place, the berm along the northern half of
the site was removed during a series of
lower than average tides when the crew
could complete the work without entering
the water. Removal of the northern half
of the berm was completed without inci-
dent and water entered the site for the first
time on December 4th on the incoming
tide. By opening the site on the incoming
tide, the potential for elevated turbidity
levels or sediment transport downstream
was significantly reduced.
With the northern half of the berm
gone, the contractor worked quickly to
finalize grading on the south end includ-
ing removal of the central access road. No
longer isolated from the river, the contrac-
tor relied upon a floating silt curtain held
in place at the upper end by large woven
fabric bags filled with gravel. The bags
were placed at the upstream end of the
planned river connection and extended
from the bank to a natural rock weir with-
in the river. The silt curtain was extended
downstream along a relatively shallow,
natural depositional area and tied into the
 HABITAT RESTORATION

intended.
At the upstream and downstream
ends of the site, the design called for a
limited amount of angular rock to tie into
existing protection measures on adjacent
banks. In both locations, the team incor-
porated bioengineering elements including
coir fabric lifts, large wood and native veg-
etation where possible to create stable, yet
more habitat friendly banks.

Planting
The project included installation of
trees, shrubs and emergent species to
establish native plant communities and
stabilize the areas disturbed during con-
struction. The plant species selected were
a combination of species native to western

 HABITAT RESTORATION
454 individuals contributing 1578 hours
of labor over four separate events.
To reduce grazing by geese within the
newly planted marsh, a goose exclusion
system was installed over and around the
marsh areas. The exclusion system was
constructed of simple fencing materials
(wire mesh fencing, tee posts, cable ties
and rope) and installed by volunteers once
all the emergent vegetation was in place.
The exclusion system will remain in place
for a minimum of three years to allow the
marsh vegetation time to become estab-
lished before being exposed to foraging
geese.
The vegetation community, primarily
the emergent and scrub-shrub communi-
ties, are expected to adjust over time in
response to the changing site conditions.
To help account for this potential, these
communities were planted in elevation
bands that allow for the expansion and
contraction of those species as the site
evolves.
Challenges
Habitat restoration in an urban set-
ting faces many challenges. Some of these
are more obvious than others, but typical-
ly these areas are more highly constrained
by infrastructure and adjacent land uses,
may require additional effort to address
liabilities from past land uses, involve
smaller, more expensive properties and
have less potential to fully restore natural
processes that created and sustained
historic habitat conditions. While these
challenges are real and can easily derail a
project with limited funding and/or
support, it is a mistake to assume they are
less valuable, effective or necessary.
Overcoming this perception and the
temptation to avoid difficult projects or
constrained locations can also present a
substantial challenge for project propo-
nents and undermine the success of basin-
wide restoration efforts. Completing and
utilizing science based watershed assess-
ments are critical to understanding the
needs of the system as a whole and estab-
lishing appropriate restoration priorities.

volume or distribution of the oil, gas and
diesel-tainted soil that were ultimately dis-
covered on site. While it is always easy to
second guess the initial sampling effort
and approach, it is clear that the project
would have benefitted from additional soil
testing prior to acquisition. Testing and
sampling on a tighter and more consistent
grid would have aided in identifying
unsuitable materials and helped better
understand the engineering properties of
the underlying soil.
Shoreline Jurisdiction Expansion
In the State of Washington, develop-
ment near large bodies of water including
rivers is restricted by shoreline regulations.
Depending upon the type and condition
of the water body, the regulations limit the
type, location and height of uses within
200-feet of the shoreline. Under state
law, this regulatory zone moves with the
ordinary high water mark to ensure that
shoreline regulations remain relevant in
dynamic systems where channels migrate
and beaches shift in response to natural
forces. By physically moving the shoreline
to create the off channel feature, the regu-
latory zone expanded onto the adjacent
property that previously was not subject to
these regulations. Given the very high
value of industrial property in the area, the
potential detrimental effect could have
been significant. To eliminate this con-
flict, the City of Tukwila shoreline officials
and local partners went to the Washington
State Legislature to request changes to
state law. With unanimous, bipartisan
support, the law was changed in 2009 to
“grandfather” uses adjacent to restoration
sites.
Anchor Failure
After the site was connected to the
river, several of the anchors began to show
evidence of failure (pulling toward the sur-
face). Initially the failure was modest, but
over the course of a few months, many
anchors had pulled up in excess of 3 feet
causing the logs to move and damage the
solid rods used to connect the logs to the
anchor mechanism buried in the soil. The
cause of the failure was not conclusively
determined, but a combination of poor
soil conditions at the depth of installation,
lack of testing of anchor holding capacity
during installation, and the dynamic forc-
es resulting from tidal fluctuations were
determined to be the most likely causes.
The use of a rigid rod from the anchor
itself to the surface was also identified as a
likely compounding factor.
Ultimately, the team concluded that
the anchors needed to be larger, installed
deeper (minimum of 15 feet) to reach
more suitable material and be connected
to the surface with flexible cable. After
field testing their holding capacity, the
new anchors were installed in April 2010.
Since they were installed, the anchors have
shown no signs of failure.
Lessons learned
The North Wind’s Weir restoration
project ultimately took over ten years to
complete from concept to final construc-
tion. Ironically, the majority of the time
was not spent on design, permitting or
construction, but on agreeing to real estate
values, negotiating and approving partner-
ship agreements, addressing unanticipated
obstacles and raising money. As is often
the case, these complications are com-

projects that do not have clear decision
making and approval procedures.
Although the team made every effort to
anticipate and plan for everything that
might arise, numerous challenges and
obstacles were encountered that caused
both increases in cost and an expansion of
schedule. Project proponents, funding
agencies and other stakeholders need to
understand that these types of obstacles
are fairly common and therefore need to
set realistic expectation for project sched-
ules and costs.

The area will be planted this fall with
prairie grasses and forbs to include: 1) na-
tive grasses - Big Bluestem, Fox Sedge, and
Bristly cattail Sedge; and 2) native forbs –
New England Aster, Prairie Blazing star,
and black-eyed Susan. The project funding
will be used to purchase seeds and a local
contractor will do the planting.
The Forest Preserve District is able to

and landowners in several counties along
the Wabash River in both Illinois and Indi-
ana. The size of the wetland projects range
from 40 to 400 acres. For one of the more
recent wetland restorations in Crawford
County, Kocher’s company constructed
two low-level berms to impound shallow
water which can be managed with water
control structures and performed wetland
excavations that mimic an oxbow lake.
Wetlands, or “duck ponds” as Kocher calls
them, is not just a job, but he sees some
benefits for himself and others. “I like to
hunt, my sons like to hunt, and my grand-
kids like to hunt. It gives us a recreation
area too.” When asked how landowners
react to his wetland restorations, he said
sometimes they have a hard time pictur-
ing what it will look like. “Once they see it,
they’re usually very happy,” he adds.
Illinois LICA holds workshops annu-
ally, which include NRCS personnel who
discuss new innovations, federal program
opportunities, projects and other informa-
tion. “We work together a lot. We work
well together too.” Kocher says. “The meet-

National LICA Magazine
The LICA Contractor was launched in 2007 and the
response has been overwhelmingly positive. This quarterly
publication is being used to keep LICA members up to
date in their industry, as well as to highlight our members’
unique and challenging projects.
LICA Contractor Safety
Management Plan
The LICA Contractor Safety Management Plan is sent to all
LICA contactors. This is a comprehensive Safety
Program which is personalized for each contractor
member.
LICA PerksCard Program
The LICA PerksCard provides members with discounts to a
host of stores and entertainment venues, both locally and
nationally. Each LICA contractor receives a LICA PerksCard
FREE and has the option to obtain more cards for their
employees and/or family.
LICA BizPlan
Participating LICA members can average $2,450 in tax
savings with the LICA BizPlan. As a small business owner,
LICA members can deduct 100% of their health care costs
by participating in BizPlan. Many business owners believe
that they can already deduct 100% of their health care
costs. Not true, unless they have signed on with BizPlan.
Unlike the government’s plan, with BizPlan, LICA members
can deduct 100% of their family health insurance premiums,
as well as uninsured medical, dental and vision care
expenses, employee disability, and term insurance
premiums. These deductions apply to federal, state and
self-employment taxes!

LICA FlexSystem
The LICA FlexSystem helps participating LICA members
save an average of $300 per employee, every year, in
payroll taxes and create a more comprehensive benefits
package for their employees by using a flexible spending
account program. With FlexSystem, employees pay for
medical, dental, vision and childcare expenses using pre-
tax dollars. That means LICA contractor members can
provide better benefits to their employees at a lower cost
to their company and employees.
Term Life and AD&D Insurance
The LICA contractor receives $5,000 Term-Life and $5,000
Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
coverage as a benefit of membership. Some age
restrictions apply.
National Scholarship Program
Each Year the national scholarship committee awards
scholarships to students who have been accepted or attend
a college, trade school, or an accredited school and maintain
a 2.5 grade average on a 4.0 scale or equivalent.
LICA Retirement Program
The LICA membership is diverse and includes
contractors of all sizes. LICA has found and adopted
a plan with every feature available in the retirement
world built in. The member can tailor the plan design
to fit exactly what fits their business model and
personal need. The unique design is built to allow
each user to fashion the plan to their needs.
