California Levees Need $500 Million
08/31/2010

Unexpected Water Prompts Pond Liner Need
08/30/2010

An unknown water source is entering the pond and turning it into a constant stream. Officials are now debating whether riprap could be used in the ditches. If the Tennessee Department of Environmental Conservation does not approve the plan, a geosynthetic liner will most likely be needed in the pond to sustain the flow rate.   ID: 5535

A Royal Arsenic Problem
08/30/2010
The newly created, 160-acre Royal Palm Beach Commons Park in Florida has been constructed on a former golf course.
