Overview
Comprehensive Support for Waynesboro’s Award-Winning Environmental Project
Timmons Group provided multiple services for the City of Waynesboro, VA, to retrofit an existing 11-acre dry detention basin into a constructed wetland, including grant writing, engineering, and design. This transformation aimed to maximize the pollutant removal efficiency of a functioning water quantity BMP. Additional improvements included converting an existing roadside ditch into a grassed channel and conducting watershed modeling and improvement recommendations for adjacent CIP areas.
In addition to development of design documents, construction drawings, and the bid package, Timmons Group also provided bidding assistance, utility coordination, environmental permitting, geotechnical exploration, SWPPP development, and construction administration services. The project was funded by the DEQ Stormwater Local Assistance Funds (SLAF) through a grant application developed by Timmons Group, and the VA Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund (VACWRLF). The funding assistance enabled the City to document over 300 lbs of phosphorus removal from a single project, aiding compliance with the Chesapeake Bay TMDL.
