Constructed Wetlands

WESTON is an industry leader in developing design/build services for all water, wastewater and wetland mitigation needs. Constructed wetlands are a natural outgrowth of these capabilities. We understand the challenge of designing and permitting constructed wetlands for both mitigation and waste treatment. WESTON has superior skills in all phases of assessment, design, construction, and management of these systems, including:

• Site Evaluation (Assessment, Delineation, Characterization)

• Waste Characterization

• Treatment Feasibility Studies

• Bench-Scale and Pilot-Verification Tests

• Field Demonstration Projects

• Permitting

• Planning, Design, Construction, and Operation

WESTON’s Constructed Wetland Systems

WESTON constructed wetland systems provide benefits for treating difficult waste streams, including:

• Reduced operating costs because wastes can be managed with minimal design and operating expense.
  
• Enhanced public relations as a result of improved ecosystems.
  
• Greater savings and environmental compatibility through the use of local soils and indigenous plant species.
  
• Lasting and sustainable solutions for a fraction of the annual maintenance costs required by traditional treatment systems.

WESTON expertise provides benefits for wetland mitigation projects, including:

• Knowledge of wetland assessment and delineation methodologies including Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET), Hollands-Magee Method, New England Wetland Assessment Methods, and Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP).
  
• Knowledge of federal and state wetland programs and regulations allows for the preparation of permits to streamline the regulatory process.
  
• Scientists, engineers and construction managers with wetland mitigation expertise allow WESTON to assemble the best team to support a client’s needs.
  
• Lasting and sustainable solutions demonstrate WESTON’s ability to solve a client’s wetland permitting and mitigation needs in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
