Incompatible land-use practices and proposed land-development encroachments in watersheds often present the need for floodplain and stream restoration and mitigation. The implications of stormwater runoff surges from impervious surfaces, accelerated erosion, sedimentation and the lack of proper vegetative buffers have and can cause damage to natural stream-channel geometry and aquatic habitats. Enlisting a qualified consultant can help you refine project goals, develop a sound restoration design and secure agency consent that improves and protects your property in a timely manner.

Why ECS for floodplain and stream restoration services
As engineers and scientists, we restore streams’ natural processes while providing bank stabilization and infrastructure protection where warranted. ECS’ floodplain and stream restoration services are performed through early client and stakeholder consultation so that land use and ecological restoration goals and agency requirements are evaluated, improved and promptly met. This up-front client and agency approach helps create the leading overall design and keeps project timelines and budgets on track.
Some of our floodplain and stream restoration projects include:
- Otter Creek stream restoration and fish habitat improvement project, Felton, PA
- Fishing Creek stream restoration project, Lower Windsor Township, PA
- The Meadows corrective action and stream restoration plan, Prince George, VA
- Honey Run stream and wetland mitigation project, Jackson Township, PA
- Miller property stream restoration project, York, PA
