Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club, Virginia Beach, Virginia- Responsible for all engineering and site plan approvals for renovations to the existing golf course.   The project included preparation of a water quality impact assessment and stormwater management plan for construction within Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas.  Provided representation for public hearings during the Chesapeake Bay Board approval process.  The project resulted in the creation of two tidal wetlands, conversion of out of play areas to low maintenance buffer grass, conversion of in play grass types to a more drought tolerant cultivar of Bermuda grass, and the implementation of a bioretention facility for the treatment of an existing parking lot.  We also assisted the club in the acquisition of an expanded use permit for groundwater withdrawals.
