The mitigation for stream impacts associated with the expansion of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport included the restoration of 5,000 linear feet of degrading stream bank habitat along the West Fork East Branch Black River in Medina County. Envirotech collaborated with the OEPA’s ecological assessment professionals to collect and analyze data on the stream’s fish and invertebrate communities as part of the monitoring of the stream restoration. The data on fish communities showed improvements in the restoration area and significant improvements downstream of the stream restorations.
