PEER is working as a subcontractor with John Portman & Associates on the preparation of the Master Plan for Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia. Norfolk State, which is traditionally referred to as a historically black university, has over the years expanded its sphere of influence and is now considered a premier Virginia State University.
Because of its expanded role of higher education in the State of Virginia and its physical location in the City of Norfolk, it is clear that the University needs a growth and development plan for its main campus and satellite campuses that will insure its viability for the next 30 years to 50 years.
PEER is responsible for the review of and recommendations for the infrastructure (underground and above ground utilities, roads, walkways, transportation routes) in and around the university and its environmental setting and impact. Because the campus tends to be landlocked and parking is limited, the University desires to have a walking campus as much as possible. To that end, PEER is preparing the transportation study and traffic plan for the master plan. Additionally, because of its geology and climate, drainage and runoff are major issues and these items will also be addressed by PEER as part of the master planning effort.
Other members of the team are Arnold Associates, landscape architects and WaveGuide Consulting, industrial technology consultants.

PEER Consultants is working as a subcontractor to Metcalf & Eddy,
Inc. in the provision of engineering design services and construction
administration services for the North Dorchester bay and Reserved Channel
Consolidation Conduits and the Reserved Channel CSO facility. The project
components to be designed and constructed include approximately 12,000
feet of 11-foot diameter consolidation conduit for North Dorchester Bay
and approximately 3,300 feet of 8-foot diameter consolidation conduit
for the Reserved Channel to eliminate combined sewer outfalls, drop shafts,
equipment shafts, mining shafts, and odor control facilities. PEER provided
services in the areas of hazardous materials identification and remediation/removal,
public relations and communication, project permitting requirements, detailed
design of the structures, CADD services, preparation of contract plans,
specifications and cost estimates for construction.

Under its task-order based, environmental support services worldwide for the Air national Guard, PEER and its subcontractor, Shaw Environmental are currently conducting remedial operations at the 142nd Fighter Wing located in Portland, Oregon. The remedy selected is in-situ chemical oxidation using potassium permanganate throughout the lateral and vertical extent of groundwater contaminated by chlorinated solvents. Six injections over a period of time are anticipated. Each injection consists of 114 points to 650 points of the oxidant. The volume of oxidant used is estimated to range from 34,200 gallons to 195,000 gallons. The initial injections are focused on oxidizing the more concentrated chlorinated solvent solutions, and subsequent injections will focus on oxidizing the remaining dissolved solvents, which is more difficult as the concentration of the solvents in the groundwater is reduced. Currently, the team has completed monitoring well installation, baseline groundwater sampling, and two permanganate injections.

PEER and its team is conducting remedial investigations and feasibility studies at several sites at the former 104th ACS located at Coos Head ANGS, Coos Bay, Oregon. The scope of work consists of the preparation of the RI work plan, performance of the RI field work (direct push soil sampling and analysis, ground water well installation and sampling, laboratory analyses, geophysical scanning, soil vapor sampling and analyses, ground water hydraulic testing, and ecological field screening), preparation of the RI report and the preparation of a feasibility study detailing the remedial alternative necessary to achieve the goals of the human health and ecological risk assessment.

PEER Consultants is providing professional engineering and field services for the Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) Analysis and Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) Phase II of the Broad Creek Drainage Basin for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC). The Broad Creek drainage basin consists of approximately 1,632,000 linear feet (309 miles) of sewer pipes ranging in diameter from 6 to 66 inches.
PEER prepared a flow monitoring plan; performed flow isolation and field
measurements, conducted manhole and close-circuit television inspections,
and smoke testing. PEER developed a computer hydraulic model, performed
extensive flow capacity analysis, and developed recommendations and cost
estimates for rehabilitation or replacement of defective manholes and
pipelines as well as additional field work to identify sources of infiltration/inflow.
PEER assisted the Commission in the evaluation, selection and implementation
of a database management program for effective and efficient management
of the large volume of I/I and SSES data collected within the Broad Creek
drainage basin.

As part of the professional engineering services provided by PEER to
the South Florida Water Management District, PEER prepared a conceptual
design for diverting flow from the eastern and western branches of main
Nubbin Slough to the Nubbin Slough Stormwater Treatment Area (STA). The
STA is a constructed treatment wetlands system for reducing phosphorus
loads from agricultural runoff that discharge into Lake Okeechobee to
meet the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) goals established by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection.
As the prime consultant, PEER formulated alternatives for diverting flow
to the STA; modeled and analyzed flows for the proposed alternatives using
HEC-RAS model; analyzed and assessed the function of thirteen undersized
culverts that were restricting flow and flooding adjacent roads and properties
along the eastern tributary to Nubbin Slough; explored potential upstream
and downstream impacts related to the implementation of this project;
recommended the most technically and economically feasible flow diversion
option; and prepared conceptual design plans for diverting Nubbin Slough
flows to the STA.
PEER also designed improvements to natural stormwater drainage channels
and upgrades for existing misaligned and undersized culverts to mitigate/prevent
flooding along the adjacent roads and properties.
