 since 1992. EA has also completed remediation of Manufactured Gas Plants (MGPs) and hazardous waste remediation for this important utility industry client."

For this specific project, EA developed a critical area buffer system designed to reduce phosphorus loading into the Chesapeake Bay.

Creating the buffer was part of establishing a stormwater management system using forests and wetlands to trap sediment and nutrients (such as phosphorus) found in stormwater runoff. Successful implementation of the buffer system reduced the cost of BGE's permit compliance process.

EA employs an interdisciplinary approach in wetlands studies, combining the expertise of wetlands ecologists with those of hydrologists, soils scientists, fisheries biologists, and land planners.

The company's wetlands ecologists have considerable experience in the development of viable and appropriate strategies for wetlands mitigation and in the design of followup monitoring programs.

EA is a publicly held international management consultant firm specializing in energy and the environment. The company has a network of 12 branches and 21 offices throughout North America.
