BIA managed the restoration and replacement of wetlands as part of a building program at the municipal complex of Bensalem Township, Bucks County, PA.

Throughout the years, the site had been used as an illegal dump, and extraneous, non-natural materials had compromised the integrity of the area. The BIA environmental department reviewed all DEP files on the site, conducted extensive negotiations with the DEP, and designed a remediation plan.

The BIA approach involved identifying and segregating materials as they were unearthed — thus keeping usable soil on site and hauling off only the debris. The firm saved Bensalem taxpayers approximately $2 million in overall costs, and the Township went on to build an amphitheater and band shell on an adjacent seven-acre site.
