Problem. Response. Outcome.

The construction team had over-cleared vegetation across large areas of an active utility-scale solar build, creating a major sediment discharge issue and active regulatory exposure across hundreds of acres of exposed ground.

Serving as district environmental manager, designed and led execution of a remediation and BMP program with the field team — retention ponds, rigid sediment controls, wetlands protection, and large-scale hydroseeding and straw stabilization across several hundred acres.

Sediment discharge issue resolved. Site brought back into compliance and held there through completion. Stabilization established and verified before final cover, with documentation supporting permit close-out.

An environmental control pond had fallen out of compliance with NPDES permit maintenance requirements — vegetation had overtaken the basin and discharge culverts were partially obstructed.

Removed all overgrown vegetation, cleaned out discharge culverts, and re-established design flow paths through the basin using heavy equipment and skid steer attachments selected to the site conditions.

Site brought back into NPDES permit compliance with documented corrective action. Pond restored to design capacity and operating as intended through subsequent storm events.
