Strike Consulting Group LLC is currently managing the channel stability monitoring and mitigation program on seven stream reaches for a Confidential Client, on Badwater and Alkali Creeks near Lysite, Wyoming. The program is designed to detect whether discharging produced water from adjacent outfalls is creating channel instability and provides the basis for mitigation planning for areas of concern. The assessment reaches were chosen for their representative channel attributes and patterns of deposition and erosion. On a quarterly basis, SCG staff survey each reach to generate planform geometry and evaluate channel evolution and overall stream reach stability. Discharge measurements are taken to refine stage/discharge relation curves and stream load samples are collected to correlate discharge and suspended sediment load.
This project provided a design of utility line relocation and river restoration for 6 reaches on the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River in response to a flooding event. It included:
The staff at SCG have permitted more pits and reservoirs than any firm in the history of the State of Wyoming. We served multiple clients engaged in coalbed methane development to site, survey, design, permit, and provide construction oversight on approximately 7,000 locations. These reservoirs ranged in size from rehabilitations of stock reservoirs to large Safety-of-Dam facilities that impounded thousands of acre-feet. In our efforts to take these facilities from inception to reclamation we have provided reclamation planning and oversight on approximately 50 reservoir sites located on private, state, and federal surface. We perform all topographic surveying, soil sampling, grading design, vegetation specification, reclamation oversight, and post-reclamation monitoring of BMPs and vegetation performance. SCG maintains strong relationships with landowners and regulatory agencies to ensure projects are approved quickly to make sure or clients projects are completed on schedule.
