River & Lake
Restoration projects combining water-quality improvement and habitat recovery.
Combining pollution-source removal with riverbed restoration,
for rivers and lakes.
River and lake restoration must go beyond sediment removal to address water quality, riverbed stability, habitat creation and long-term management.
Soil Resources removes sludge layers, reapplies recovered aggregate, builds Capping layers and evaluates water-quality improvements to create ecological conditions that allow rivers and lakes to recover naturally.
Reduces nutrients and odor sources to create conditions for better water quality.
Clean-aggregate reapplication and Capping create a stable base for aquatic organisms.
Recovered aggregate and improved soil are reused as restoration materials to increase circularity.
Project Process
After analyzing site conditions and material characteristics, each project is carried out through staged collection, treatment, reuse and restoration.
Assess sludge layers, odor, water-quality causes and site conditions
Collect contaminated sediment while limiting dispersion
Reapply recovered aggregate and build Capping layers
Improve water quality and rebuild aquatic habitat
Restoration Focus
Soil Resources evaluates both field applicability and reuse potential to develop project strategies balancing environmental performance and economics.
- Remove riverbed sludge and contain pollution sources
- Build Capping layers with washed aggregate
- Improve water and sediment quality and biological communities
- Improve waterfront environments for community use
