USACE Features PWD at Local Stream Restoration Workshop


USACE (The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) chose to partner with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) to hold a stream restoration workshop this past July. PWD’s Erik Haniman, manager of the Ecological Restoration Group spoke to representatives from USACE, the EPA, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, The Nature Conservancy and many more. The workshop, led by Dave Derrick and Dr. Rich Fisher of USACE’s Engineer Research and Development Center, featured two of PWD’s restoration projects – Cobb’s Creek and the Tacony Creek. In 2010, PWD worked with USACE to restore the Tacony Creek by constructing several weirs and planting more than 10,000 natives species. To learn more about the July workshop, visit USACE’s website.
