SERVICES PROVIDED: BATHYMETRIC SURVEY
This project involved a pre-dredge bathymetric survey of
a portion of the Connecticut River, adjacent to the Water
Pollution Control Facility, which processes wastewater from
New Britain, Berlin, Cromwell, Middletown, Newington,
Rocky Hill and Farmington, then discharges clean water into
the river. A survey was required for the proposed installation
of Tide Type Check Valves to existing outfall diffusers
connected to an outfall structure on River Road.
The survey was prepared to depict the existing river bed
topographic conditions, and performed using a one man
field crew using a hydrographic sounder and real-time
GPS equipment. Additional assistance was performed by
employees from Northeast Diving Services for limited water
access and piloting,

The City of Meriden, Connecticut developed this trail as an important community and regional asset. The Trail will
eventually join a larger river trail system, part of a vast network of bicycle / pedestrian paths, ultimately connecting
to the East Coast Greenway, stretching from Maine to Florida.
This section of trail, approximately 7,000 feet long, follows an abandoned trolley bed that traverses a natural geologic
phenomenon, the “Quinnipiac Gorge.” The trail begins at Oregon Road (site of the Red Bridge — listed on the Register of
Historic Places by the National Park Service) and heads west terminating just prior to the Cheshire town line. The trail follows
the old railbed, meandering along the Quinnipiac River through the Gorge created by years of erosive action by the river
on the highly erosive siltstone bedrock. Amenities along the way include scenic overlooks used as rest areas or observation
points and access ways to the river for fisherman. This popular trail attracts hikers, naturalist, sportsman as well as the casual
walker and families.

The Quinebaug River Trail, Phase Ill is a continuation of a successfully
popular trail that was constructed as a part of the Route 6 reconstruction.
The trail itself is a key link in the much larger East Coast Greenway, a
pedestrian / bicycle facility stretching from Maine to Florida. Phase Ill is
approximately 16,000 feet long extending from joust south of the Little
League complex to the Plainfield Town line.
Important elements include coordination with adjacent property
ownerships, drainage, utilities, wetlands impacts, retaining walls and
two new steel span bridges. The Quinebaug River Trail parallels the
Quinebaug River requiring extensive coordination and obtaining several
permits from CT DEP. Archeological services were required for the
project to address the potential affect on significant cultural resources
~an ancient Native American fishing camp was uncovered within the
proposed alignment.
Amenities along the way include scenic overlooks used as rest areas
or observation points and access ways to the river for fisherman. This
popular trail attracts hikers, naturalist, sportsman as well as the casual
walker and families

WHAT WE DO
Kent + Frost has developed a balanced approach to landscape
architecture that incorporates art and science in the creation of
environments that are meaningful, memorable, and sustainable. We
believe in the ability of ecologically based design to accommodate
both site development and environmental conservation. Our work
is grounded by the particular essence of place found ina site,
neighborhood or community. We learn about the places where
we practice by listening carefully to the residents and stakeholders
that live and work there, and by digging deeply into the cultural and
physiographic context.
Ahealthy and sustainable landscape that incorporates healthy human
activities is an intrinsically beautiful balance of people and place.
K+F specializes in the navigation of the barriers and bureaucracy
that inadvertently suppress this balance. Our solutions emphasize
walkability, placemaking, and options for mobility like interconnected
sidewalks, multi-use pathways, and bicycle accommodations.

Blackledge River Nursery
Blackledge River Nursery, 1989 - 1994
Designed and constructed four acres of wetlands including wet meadows,
shallow and deep water marshes. Sixty-three native herbaceous wetland
plant species are propagated in the created wetlands. Deep and shallow
water ponds were constructed for cold and warm water fisheries.
Fisheries structure included in ponds to enhance fisheries habitat.
Assisted Department of Environmental Protection Fisheries Unit in
placing boulders in the Blackledge River to create riffles and pools for
salmon. Ongoing research studies include experimentation with various
soif mediums for created wetlands, plant reproduction and survival rates
and competition among wetland plant species.
Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Land, 1993 ~ Present
Provided site testing, plant inventory, wetland system design, site
construction supervision, planting design layouts, plant installation, and
continual site monitoring and assessment to determine project success,
plant survival, growth rates and overall health and recovery of the natural
systems for all Tribal Wetland Projects and specifically:
e Creation of an eight acres wetland and deep water pond for the
purpose of development and enhancement of fisheries habitat.
Details included access channels connecting open water and marsh
areas, addition of various types of fisheries structures strategically
placed within the pond for cold water fish species.
« Restored several watercourse channels and associated wetlands
disturbed with the construction of bridges. Watercourse restoration
included bottom substrate and channel reconstruction to promote
stream aeration, reduce channel erosion and provide habitat and
cover for insects, small reptiles and amphibians.
e Designed and supervised construction of three wetlands created for
stormwater renovation. Wetland basin bottoms were carefully
contoured to encourage maximum stormwater flow contact but
minimize stagnant water conditions to reduce potential for mosquito
breeding. Native wetland plant species were selected for their
characteristics of pollutant uptake and soil stabilization and wildlife
habitat value.
These sites have been used for specialized training sessions sponsored by the
Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and conducted by Richard Snarski on wetland and
watercourse restoration techniques, water quality treatment benefits and design of
natural systems and wildlife and fisheries habitat enhancement methods utilizing
natural materials and specific design features. Attendees have included Federal,
State and Municipal Environmental Professionals as well as Private
Environmental Consultants.
