As a subconsultant, McFadden Engineering evaluated the adequacy of tidal flushing in the proposed tidal creeks to establish and support emergent wetland vegetation and maintain adequate habitat within the tidal creeks for macro invertebrates, crustatceans, fish, etc. McFadden also compared proposed tidal creeks to reference tidal creeks in the immediate area and developed a tidal model to support horizontal and vertical control of wetlands plants. In addition, McFadden completed technical and construction criteria to accommodate tidal exchange and storm water runoff and completed conceptual design of the tidal creeks.
