Environmental Sciences

Solving complex environmental challenges is the foundation on which Horne International has been built. In 1993, our first contract with the U.S. Army Environmental Command (USAEC) focused on conservation and compliance; and they remain a valued client today.

Our environmental staff includes former regulators and environmental managers from the military, government, and private sectors. Our domain expertise spans ecology, biology, botany, forestry, geology, hydrogeology, engineering, historic preservation, land-use and environmental planning, and socioeconomics. And our core strength lies in our ability to integrate and apply these disciplines to the unique requirements of specific projects.

Customer Spotlight

Poplar Island Wildlife Habitat Restoration

The mission: Poplar Island, located in the upper middle Chesapeake Bay, has been eroding. In the 1800s, the island covered some 1,100 acres. Today, rising water levels and wind have carved the island down to only five acres. The Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), along with other federal, state, and local entities, is working to rebuild the island to its former size and save a vital nesting area for migratory birds, fish, and other wildlife.

Uniquely engineered: Before dredged material could be added to Poplar Island, dikes had to be built to prevent future erosion and ensure a sustainable environmental habitat. Horne engineers moved 450,000 cubic yards of material and raised a dike and two spillways in the wet cell of the island. We successfully completed this difficult engineering task with great care for a delicate and challenging natural environment.
