To address the risk to transportation infrastructure caused by sea-level rise, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) sought to assess sea-level rise risks throughout the San Diego County region and plan for climate change adaptation. Dudek evaluated the region’s vulnerability using models and crafted a robust, visually engaging document to guide future sea-level rise
Dudek’s work on the San Jose Community Forest Management Plan (CFMP) helped to identify systemic issues that impeded the maintenance and expansion of the community forest, and provided a strategic plan for improvement.
Dudek’s work on the City of Irvine Eucalyptus Tree Risk Analysis project has helped reduce a hidden risk in the landscape. Our arborists used advanced technology to evaluate trees in a minimally invasive nature and develop a monitoring plan for those with lower levels of decay that are not immediately at risk.
The City of Willits’ Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) will help provide the City with an avenue to plan for the future of its trees. Dudek used a comprehensive approach to address issues associated with deferred maintenance, declining tree health, species diversity, wildfire threats, and predicted changes to weather and climate to develop the City’s
The City of San Diego’s Coast Boulevard Sea Cave Emergency Stabilization project addressed an eroding sea cave and improved the storm drain system, roadway, and sidewalks impacted by construction. Dudek provided storm drain system design, aerial surveying and mapping, water pollution control planning, and construction monitoring.
Dudek worked with the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA) to prepare the groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs) for the Oxnard, Las Posas Valley, and Pleasant Valley basins in Ventura County.
The Temecula Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) will help to move the City of Temecula toward a more sustainable urban forest. Dudek applied sustainable urban forest management practices and concepts to our analysis to develop a long-term plan for sustainable management and maintenance of the City’s trees.
Following a fire and monsoonal flood, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) needed to assess the damage and begin repair work in the canyons of Coachella Valley. Dudek worked closely with a federal Burn Area Emergency Response team to assess the damage and help restore and rehabilitate the natural features and infrastructure surrounding
The Mountain Ave. West Groundwater Replenishment Basins project is a 40-acre recharge facility that is part of the San Jacinto Valley Enhanced Recharge and Recovery Program (SJVERRP) operated by the Eastern Municipal Water District. The SJVERRP will create a resilient water supply supporting the sustainable management of the San Jacinto Groundwater Basin (Basin), reduce dependence
