Happy New Year, TVA. Looks like 2009 is going to be a doooozeee for y’all.

We suspect it is only the beginning to the outrage taking place…

2008 dam failure debacle continues. TVA showing their true colors – the opposite of green.

December 31, 2008

The dam failure of 2008 is evolving into an environmental debacle.  TVA seems to be showing its true colors – which appear to be the opposite of green.  We have to wonder where the EPA is as TVA permits continuing pollution to occur.  Grey blood in the river….

Appalachian Voices and the Waterkeeper Alliance have paddled up to the site – check the video:

Incredible dam breach in Tenn.  This is why it is important to inspect, maintain, and repair earthen embankments.

Was on Principio Creek yesterday looking at some restoration work…a real sweet stream in Cecil County, Maryland that is still in great overall condition:

Welcome to the first blog on stormwater management…. or at least the first one we know about.

Among the things that may end up here are:

  • Interesting stuff about stormwater management (SWM) that strikes our fancy
  • Technical stuff (read: Engineering) that may bore the hell out of those who are not deeply into site and stormwater management design
  • Some good stuff for those just starting out with SWM design or who wish to know more
  • ID of the many types of SWM facilities
  • Thoughts on maintenance, repair, and construction of SWM
  • Thoughts on Landscape Architecture as related to SWM design
  • Thoughts on Land Planning as related to SWM Design
  • Thoughts on Sustainable Development as related to SWM design
  • Info on proprietary BMP’s
  • Cool stuff we are doing in the Applied Stormwater Studio
  • Streams – where it all ends up – the coolest part… especially restoration
  • Whatever else strikes our fancy.
