Redwing's ability to address ecological issues in a proactive and efficient manner is also based on a strong working relationship with numerous U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regional and field offices, as well as many state wildlife agencies. Redwing professionals have specialized training/experience and are certified to survey for threatened/endangered species including Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), gray bat (Myotis grisescens), freshwater mussels, and running buffalo clover (Trifolium stoloniferum). |

STANFORD VILLAGE PIPELINE ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE
|
|
Redwing conducted a detailed ecological assessment of an existing pipeline corridor for streams, wetlands, endangered species, protected habitat, and significant natural areas. The project involved two crossings of Mill Creek, which is listed as critical habitat for the federally protected Nashville crayfish (Orconectes shoupi). Redwing coordinated with representatives of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation regarding project timing and construction techniques. Prior to each construction period, sweeps of the stream were performed by qualified aquatic biologists to capture and move all crayfish to an upstream location.

BUCKHORN MINE ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT PROJECT
EUREKA COUNTY, NEVADA
|
|
Redwing was contracted to perform an ecological risk assessment of this former open-pit gold mine in central Nevada. Potential exposure pathways were identified and assessed to determine potential risks to ecological receptors. The services performed to complete this project included: collection of water samples during different seasons of the year; sampling of woody and herbaceous vegetation for uptake of contaminants; sampling of small mammal populations for interaction with contaminated media; collection and identification of aquatic macroinvertebrates; preparation of a report summarizing the findings of the assessment; and coordination with the regulatory and resource agencies. This project also involved vegetative cover monitoring of the former process areas of the mine for comparison to nearby reference conditions.
