Client Project
PacifiCorp Ongoing management of water quality studies for relicensing of PacifiCorp's Lewis River Hydroelectric Project (southwest Washington State). Water quality, water temperature, and limnological data are being used to assess potential impacts of project operations and to develop enhancement measures for the next license period. This is a collaborative FERC relicensing process involving state and federal resource agencies, tribes, and non-governmental organizations.
Confidential Client Designed and implemented a stream temperature monitoring program on 29 streams within six western Oregon tree farms. The objective of this project was to establish baseline conditions and data to be used for development of temperature-based total maximum daily loads (TMDLs).
Oregon Department of Transportation Field data collection, analysis, and preparation of a summary report to describe lead levels (primarily from paint chips) in the substrate of the Columbia River beneath and downstream from the Interstate 5 Bridge. This information was used to evaluate potential impacts to aquatic resources from a major bridge repair and repainting project.
Otak, Inc. Prepared Federal Clean Water Act documentation and permit applications for a Yamhill County, Oregon ferry ramp replacement project on the Willamette River. Reducing water quality impacts during construction was a key issue, and MB&G worked with project engineers to identify appropriate mitigation measures. MB&G obtained the necessary project permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
