Timmons Group to Develop Wetland and Stormwater Master Plan forNASA...

Timmons Group, an ENR 500 Design Firm and a leader in multi-discipline civil engineering (http://www.timmons.com/) and environmental consulting (http://www.timmons.com/markets-and-services/environmental.asp) services, announced today that the firm has been awarded a contract to develop a wetland and stormwater master plan of the approximately 4,000 acres that makes up the NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), located on the eastern shore of Virginia.

Timmons Group will provide strategic regulatory and land use analysis of WFF wetlands, including the main base, mainland, and Wallops Island, in order to develop a comprehensive long-term land use/wetland plan for WFF. Additionally, a stormwater (http://www.timmons.com/markets-and-services/infrastructure-stormwater.asp) regulatory and land use analysis will be conducted for Wallops Island in order to develop a comprehensive, long-term stormwater plan for the Island. In order to meet their mission directives, WFF staff recognizes they must expand their facilities in which wetland impacts will be unavoidable. This project will permit them to quantify what the potential impacts are from their development plans, and proactively identify suitable wetland restoration, enhancement and preservation opportunities within their land holdings. The regulatory agencies have previously requested an opportunity to see what is planned and how WFF will handle the environmental impacts. As a result, this project will go a long way to ameliorating concerns. The draft masterplan is scheduled to be completed in 120 days.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Centers Wallops Flight Facility, located on Virginias Eastern Shore, was established in 1945 by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NASA), as a center for aeronautic research. Wallops Flight Facility is now NASAs principal facility for management and implementation of suborbital research programs.
