Furman University – Lake Restoration Master Plan 2006-2007
|
The Earth Design team was awarded and successfully produced a restoration Master Plan for the Furman University Lake in Greenville South Carolina. The lake has been declining in water quality for years due to an over abundance of waterfowl, pollutants, and sedimentation.
Design solutions include marsh islands, shoreline repair, rain gardens, boardwalks, and bioengineering. The Master Plan included rendered plan view drawings, working drawings, sketches, plant lists, construction details and budgets. The Earth Design team is currently assisting with implementation. |
