AWC emphasizes a multi-disciplined approach to our work. This
fact is exemplified not only in the design/build/grow structure of the
company, but also in the composition of our consulting group. Our
consulting staff includes biologists, ecologists, landscape architects
and engineers.

Wetland
Regulatory Issues
The AWC consulting group assists clients with interpreting and fulfilling
the requirements of Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act. This
includes wetland delineation services, permitting, mitigation design, construction
oversight and monitoring. AWC has been providing wetland regulatory
services throughout Colorado for thirteen years and has developed strong
working relationships with regulatory personnel, including the Albuquerque,
Omaha and Sacramento District offices of the Army Corps of Engineers
and the Environmental Protection Agency. |
| Stream
and Wetland Habitat Enhancement
AWC works with public and private landowners to enhance, restore and
manage stream and wetland habitat resources. The goals of these projects
can be many-fold and may include wildlife benefits, water quality improvement
and recreational opportunities such as fishing, bird watching, boating
and hiking on trails. AWC has designed and/or constructed nearly
54 miles of stream habitat enhancement and 400 acres of wetland enhancement.
As with all of our projects, the key to success is an integrated team of
multi-disciplined personnel. |

Bioengineered
Streambank Stabilization
Bioengineering is the use of natural materials and vegetation for erosion
control and streambank stabilization. The major pricipal of bioengineering
is to stabilize eroding slopes with root structure. Additionally,
bioengineered streambank stabilization techniques create a healthy riparian
corridor, providing a host of assets recognized as important in multi-objective
stream corridor and watershed management. |
| Landscape
Planning
In addition to planning and design for the creation of biologically
functioning ecosystems, AWC consultants alos take into consideration land
use and land cover issues related to recreationl, educational and aesthetic
features, process and systems. |

Water
Resource Engineering
As part of AWC’s multidisciplinary project approach, engineering expertise
plays a vital role in the evaluation and design of stream and wetland projects.
Rainfall, runoff and hydraulic modeling allow AWC to understand the response
of stream and wetland systems to precipitation and snowmelt events while
sediment, erosion and bank stability studies provide insight into the geomorphologic
make-up of a river system. Additionally, AWC conducts floodplain and drainage
studies, designs and models dams and reservoirs and provides oversight
for construction projects. |
