RSE prepared stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP), spill prevention control and countermeasure plans (SPCC), safety and communication plans in support of client hired contractor efforts.

RSE coordinated project survey efforts on island and the mainland to support turbine, transmission line, and VOR design and construction efforts. RSE oversaw establishment or project communications and managed air logistics for seasonal work crews.

RSE further assisted our client in developing the scope and design package for hire of an Engineer Procure Construct team to continue with project build out. Project duties included preparation of engineering estimates for project elements, contract and construction management services, and managing weekly meetings with project team members and assignation of resources to complete project tasks.

Platinum Creek Mine - Salmon River Reclamation »
civil projectsRSE has provided complete permitting services for this historic platinum mine operating near Goodnews Bay, in Western Alaska. RSE staff successfully obtained permits from Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Bureau of Land management, US Army Corps of Engineers, and EPA to permit this mine which is currently operating and extracting mineral resources.

Client services also included obtaining permits for gravel extraction for facility construction, restoration and remediation of historic oil spills, development of mining plan of operations and reclamation plan, collection of hydrologic quality and quantity data, and evaluation and design of facility water and wastewater systems.

RSE stewarded the Coastal Zone management permits, BLM and ADNR annual operation permits, as well as ADFG in-stream Title 16 work permits to enable the mine to resume operations in 2007. More recently, RSE is working with our client to develop a full Mine Plan of Operations, and has initiated NEPA studies and scope additional environmental assessment and planning required to bring the mine into full operation.

RSE recently completed a hydrology project on the Salmon River to address baseline water quantity and quality. In addition, RSE performed a 3,000 acre wetland delineation to obtain an individual U.S. ACOE permit.
