This planned development has approximately 741 acres of land with 43 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, 315 acres of open space including an 18-hole golf course, and 383 acres of residential lots and roadways. Of the 43 acres of wetlands, only 0.51 acre were impacted due to the project.
Since 1992, 7Q10 has been responsible for baseline water quality data collection and data analysis to establish discharge standards for the proposed project. 7Q10 has also been responsible for watershed analysis to determine secondary impacts to wetlands due to the quality of water discharging into wetlands thereby preserving wetland integrity. Additionally, the impacts from channelized urban storm runoff and the resultant sedimentation, erosional deposition and nutrient loading from waters discharging into the wetland have been evaluated. To mitigate these secondary impacts 7Q10 designed a best management plan to cover the 741 acre property. 7Q10 was responsible for preparing and obtaining approval of the following:
Additionally, 7Q10 conducted a stream restoration plan for Martis Creek through the project site that encompassed the use of hydraulic geometry relationships, analytical determination of stable channel dimensions and a sediment impact assessment. The project resulted in additional riffle-pool complexes and a stable meandering stream course and increased floodplain volume to meet strict regulatory requirements.
