“I enjoyed the Cayuga Creek project a great deal. The project included removing the berms on either side of Cayuga Creek, creating a meandering rather that perfectly straight stream channel, re-establishing the Creek’s connection to the floodplain, and developing walking paths. More than 25 years ago, I had completed an environmental sampling program at that property. It was my first field project in Western New York, after I moved back home from New Jersey. I was working for a company that had a contract with the NYSDEC to make sure there wasn’t significant contamination in the area. Fast forward 20 years, we at C&S completed an additional characterization program at the property for Niagara County under a USEPA grant. Witnessing the transformation of the property to something that creates better habitat while relieving downstream flood has been very rewarding. Being able to stay involved with that property for almost three decades and finally seeing the end product has been great.”
