On July 16, Pennsylvania State Senator Carolyn Comitta joined municipal leaders, project partners, and community residents in Tredyffrin Township to celebrate the progress of the Willis Lake, Woodcrest Road, and Upper Weadley Road Stormwater Improvement Project, a significant initiative designed to reduce flooding, modernize aging infrastructure, and improve water quality within the Upper Weadley tributary, which feeds into Trout Creek and ultimately flows into the Schuylkill River.

Tredyffrin Township Engineer Steve Burgo, PE, led participants on a guided site tour that showcased key construction milestones and recently completed improvements, and provided a deeper look into the long-term stormwater management benefits the project provides to community residents, local water resources, and the watershed as a whole.


Tredyffrin Township has worked closely with Princeton Hydro since 2012 through an ongoing on-call engineering services partnership. Over the past decade, this partnership has supported watershed assessments, stormwater planning, identification and prioritization of improvement projects, grant funding efforts, and the implementation of practical, science-based solutions to address flooding, improve watershed health, and strengthen community resilience. The collaboration has also extended to numerous municipal infrastructure initiatives and major residential, commercial, and institutional redevelopment projects throughout the Township.

The Willis/Woodcrest/Upper Weadley project, which began in 2022, represents an important milestone in Tredyffrin Township's ongoing efforts to address persistent stormwater management and flooding challenges. The planning process began with a comprehensive evaluation of the approximately 70-acre watershed. Princeton Hydro developed a hydrologic model of the watershed and its existing stormwater system using field survey data, Township records, and other site-specific information. This analysis helped identify critical areas where aging infrastructure and system limitations were contributing to localized flooding and drainage issues.

Community engagement also played a key role in shaping the project. Township officials and Princeton Hydro hosted public meetings with residents to gather local knowledge, document firsthand experiences with flooding, and discuss potential solutions. This input provided valuable insight into how stormwater impacts neighborhoods during major storm events and helped inform project priorities.

Combining technical analysis with community feedback, the project team evaluated a range of potential improvements, including both traditional "gray" infrastructure upgrades and nature-based "green" stormwater management strategies. The solution incorporates a series of targeted improvements that work together to reduce peak stormwater flows, increase storage and infiltration, modernize aging infrastructure, and improve the overall performance and resiliency of the watershed.

[gallery columns="2" size="large" link="none" ids="20202,20203"]

The final design combines critical upgrades to aging drainage infrastructure with new stormwater management measures that work together to better capture, convey, store, and infiltrate runoff throughout the watershed. Construction is anticipated to be completed later this year. The project is being funding from several funding sources, including the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) H2O PA – Water Supply, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Water Projects Program, which supports critical water infrastructure investments throughout the Commonwealth.

Key project improvements include:

  • New and upgraded stormwater piping, inlets, and manholes
  • Construction of a new above-ground stormwater management basin
  • Installation of underground stormwater infiltration facilities
  • Modernization of aging drainage infrastructure
  • Improvements designed to reduce peak stormwater flows and mitigate downstream flooding impacts
  • Construction of a stormwater basin designed to capture and manage runoff from upstream portions of the watershed
  • Installation of 160 native trees and 90 shrubs to stabilize the basin and surrounding area as well as providing screening. The new plantings also replaced trees that had deteriorated and were in poor health.
  • Lining of the sanitary sewer pipe network within the project area further providing infrastructure upgrades and improvements.

One of the most compelling aspects of this project is the visible transformation that has occurred across the project site. The before-and-after photos below highlight the significant being progress made to address longstanding drainage challenges and improve stormwater management throughout the project area.

Work is underway at Strawbridge Lake as Princeton Hydro and Moorestown Township continue a lake restoration project focused on managing excessive spatterdock growth throughout portions of the lake. The effort is part of a broader, long-term strategy to improve lake health, enhance recreational opportunities, and support the ecological function of this important community resource.

Take a look at some recent photos from the field featuring Field Services Project Manager Matt Kreines operating the Truxor during spatterdock removal activities:

[gallery link="none" ids="20055,20052,20059,20048,20051,20056,20050,20073,20079"]  

Spatterdock (Nuphar advena), also known as yellow pond lily or cow lily, is a native aquatic plant commonly found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving waters throughout the eastern United States. While native aquatic vegetation plays an important role in healthy lake ecosystems, excessive growth can reduce open water areas, limit recreation, and alter habitat conditions. At Strawbridge Lake, years of monitoring and management have identified areas where spatterdock has expanded significantly and requires active management.

The current project focuses on removing overabundant spatterdock from targeted sections of the lake while preserving important habitat along the shoreline. In coordination with guidance from the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife, a vegetated buffer is being maintained around portions of the lake's edge to provide refuge and spawning habitat for fish.


Work on the Water and Beyond

Using Princeton Hydro's amphibious Truxor harvesting machine, our team of licensed operators are cutting and removing dense stands of spatterdock from open-water areas throughout the lake. The harvested vegetation is collected and transported to the shoreline, where Moorestown Township Public Works crews remove the material for composting and final disposal.

These photos, captured by Matt Kreines from the operator's seat of the Truxor, provide a firsthand look at the spatterdock removal process in action:

[gallery link="none" ids="20066,20068,20076"]

The restoration work also encourages improved water circulation in the lake and increased dissolved oxygen, two important factors in maintaining water quality. The harvesting process also removes nutrients stored within the plant biomass, providing additional benefits.

The spatterdock management project builds upon years of planning, monitoring, and restoration work at Strawbridge Lake. Since the development of the Strawbridge Lake Watershed Management and Restoration Plan, Moorestown Township has invested in a variety of initiatives, including water quality monitoring, aquatic vegetation management, Children's Pond restoration, stormwater improvements, fishery surveys, invasive species management, and public outreach programs.

The project is funded in part through American Rescue Plan Act funds awarded to Moorestown Township ($113,500) via NJDEP's Stormwater Grant Program for in-lake vegetation removal management of up to 15 acres of the overabundant noxious species Spatterdock from Strawbridge Lake and Pennsauken Creek (North Branch).  This project is intended not only to improve conditions at Strawbridge Lake, but also to demonstrate an approach that other communities can adapt for similar lake and watershed restoration efforts.

Connecting Restoration and Community Education

On May 2, Moorestown Township hosted a public information session at the Moorestown Public Library, where residents joined Township staff and Princeton Hydro Senior Manager and Certified Lake Manager Chris Mikolajczyk, CLM to learn about Strawbridge Lake management and watershed restoration efforts.

The presentation highlighted the history of restoration efforts at Strawbridge Lake, ongoing vegetation management activities, and opportunities for residents to help improve water quality at home through practices such as rain gardens, rain barrels, natural landscaping, and other stormwater management techniques. The session also provided community members with the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the work taking place throughout the watershed.

Each July, Lakes Appreciation Month invites us to reconnect with one of our most valuable natural resources: our lakes. Since 1998, the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) has led this initiative to raise awareness about the ecological, recreational, and community benefits lakes provide, while encouraging people to take an active role in protecting them. This year, we’re encouraging you to take your appreciation further by learning, participating, and making meaningful connections with your local lake. Here are four impactful ways to celebrate:


1. Discover Something New

No matter how well you know your local lake, there is always something new to discover. Visit at a different time of day, explore a new access point, or try an activity you've never done before, like birding, early morning paddling, or shoreline photography.

As you spend time on the water or along the shore, take note of the details. Look for changes in water clarity, plant growth, wildlife activity, and seasonal shifts. These small observations can deepen your appreciation and help you better understand how your lake functions. If something doesn't look right, like signs of a harmful algal bloom, the presence of invasive aquatic species, or other water quality concerns, take note and share what you see. Reporting observations to your local lake association or through tools like the bloomWatch app can support monitoring efforts and help protect your lake.

2. Get Involved in Lake Science

Take your lake visit one step further by joining the annual Secchi Dip-In. This long-running citizen science effort invites volunteers across North America to measure water clarity using a simple Secchi disk. The data collected helps scientists and lake managers track water quality trends over time. Participation is simple and meaningful, and every reading contributes to a larger understanding of lake health.

If you are new to using a Secchi disk, watch our step-by-step instructional video to learn how to take accurate measurements:

3. Share Your Lake Story

Lakes bring people together and create lasting memories. This month, take the opportunity to share your connection to your favorite lake and inspire others to get involved. Join the NALMS #LakesAppreciation Challenge by posting photos or videos that capture your experience. Capture a quiet sunrise, a family outing, or a day spent volunteering and show others what makes your lake special.

Looking for more ways to tell your lake story? Try one of these ideas:

When you share, be sure to include the lake name and the hashtag #LakesAppreciation to connect with the broader celebration.

 

4. Turn Appreciation into Action

You don't need to make a big commitment to make a meaningful difference. Small, consistent actions can have a lasting impact on lake health over time. Here are a few simple ways to give back:

  • Reduce fertilizer use to limit nutrient runoff
  • Volunteer with local lake stewards or a watershed organization
  • Participate in cleanups to remove trash and debris
  • Learn about invasive species and how to prevent their spread

Communities across the country are working together to protect and restore their lakes. Your efforts, no matter how small, play an important role in that collective impact.

When a dam is removed, what happens to all the sediment that has built up behind it?

That question was the focus of a recent Dam Busters webinar led by Geoffrey M. Goll, PE, President of Princeton Hydro and an internationally recognized expert in dam removal and river restoration.

During the session, Geoff shared insights on how sediment behaves during dam removal projects, how it accumulates behind dams, and how different materials such as sand, silt, and organic matter respond once the dam is removed. He also discussed the methods practitioners use to estimate how much sediment is likely to move, how quickly it will travel, and the risks it may pose downstream, along with the practical decisions project teams face, including when to rely on natural processes, when intervention is needed, and how to design a strategy that balances ecological benefits, cost, and potential impacts.

Case Study: Paulina Lake Dam Removal Project

During the webinar, Geoff highlighted a real-world example of a dam removal project that required careful sediment management: the Paulina Lake Dam removal on the Paulins Kill River in New Jersey. For this project, the team implemented a phased dam breach, gradually lowering water levels to control the release of sediment and allow the river to begin forming its new channel. A portion of the sediment, particularly the highly organic material near the dam, was actively removed to prevent downstream impacts, while the rest was allowed to mobilize naturally.

Welcome to our “A Day in the Life” blog series, where we highlight the expertise and experiences of our team members as they work to advance Princeton Hydro’s mission of improving ecosystems, quality of life, and communities. In this edition, we take to the skies with Ryan Eno, EIT, a Staff Engineer in our Geosciences group and an FAA-certified drone operator whose work blends engineering, technology, and creativity to support our projects.

Ryan’s role offers a unique perspective (quite literally) on how drones are shaping environmental restoration and monitoring efforts. Let’s get a bird’s-eye view of a day in the life of a Princeton Hydro drone operator:


Pre-Flight Planning and Airspace Navigation

Ryan’s day often starts well before he steps onto a project site. Drone operation requires careful pre-flight planning, especially when working across varied landscapes and within regulated airspace. Ryan uses mapping tools and satellite imagery to identify safe launch points and ensure he can maintain a clear line of sight with the drone throughout the flight, a requirement set by the FAA. “For any project, the first step is checking airspace restrictions,” Ryan explains. “There are limitations around government facilities, state lands, and, without much advanced notice, no-fly zones that can be implemented around high-profile locations.”

Operating drones professionally comes with even more regulatory and logistical considerations. “There are a lot of airspace restrictions to keep track of,” Ryan explains. “For example, drones cannot be flown in New Jersey State Parks without permission, and temporary flight restrictions can change depending on circumstances.” Balancing these requirements with field conditions requires flexibility, attention to detail, and constant awareness. “It is all about planning, safety, and making sure we are operating responsibly and within the law.”

[gallery ids="19895,19896,19897"]

In the Field: Navigating Conditions and Capturing the Shot

Once on site, Ryan is focused on safety, positioning, and capturing the right visuals. “In many cases, just getting the drone to a safe takeoff location is the first challenge,” he says. “You need a clear opening in the tree canopy and enough space to launch and land safely.”

Operating in natural environments introduces additional complexity. Dense vegetation, uneven terrain, and changing weather conditions require constant awareness and adaptability. “Even though our drone has obstacle-avoidance sensors, they are not perfect, especially with moving tree branches,” Ryan notes. “I have to stay focused and anticipate how the drone will move through the environment.”

Ryan also remains mindful of wildlife and ecological sensitivity during drone operation, “Drones usually fly high enough as to not disturb animals on the ground, but we always pay close attention to birds, especially during nesting seasons."

[gallery ids="19884,19882,19883"]

Capturing Change from Above

One of the most valuable aspects of Ryan’s work is documenting the transformation of our project sites. Using Princeton Hydro’s DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2, a high-resolution aerial photography drone, Ryan captures imagery that helps tell the story of a project from start to finish. “I really enjoy projects where I can capture a site before and after construction,” he says. “The drone really helps tell the story and provide a complete perspective. It captures the entire transformation in a single frame, which is much harder to convey from the ground.”

The aerial drone images and videos are often used to:

  • Document baseline site conditions
  • Delineate site features such as total impervious cover
  • Map remote areas that are hard to access by foot
  • Track construction progress
  • Capture post-restoration outcomes
  • Support reporting, stakeholder engagement, and community outreach

This type of imagery is especially powerful for Princeton Hydro’s ecosystem restoration projects. A recent example is Princeton Hydro’s work on the Paulina Lake Dam removal and Paulins Kill River restoration in Warren County, New Jersey. Led by The Nature Conservancy and funded by the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife, the project reconnected 7.6 miles of river habitat, building on an additional 10 miles restored through the earlier Columbia Lake Dam removal. From the ground, it can be challenging to grasp the full extent of change following a dam removal. Aerial imagery captured before, during, and after construction provides a comprehensive view of how the river system responds. When the site was revisited a year later, the transformation was clear. The river had re-established its natural flow and reconnected habitats that had been fragmented for generations.

Drone footage captured by The Nature Conservancy, Renova Environmental Company, and Princeton Hydro played a key role in documenting this process. Drawing on aerial imagery collected before demolition and throughout construction, the resulting video illustrates the full progression of the project, from initial notching to full restoration. It highlights how careful sequencing, sediment management, and adaptive design allow rivers to recover rapidly once barriers are removed.

How Drones Support Environmental Research and Monitoring

Drones at Princeton Hydro are used in a wide range of applications. “They allow us to access remote areas and collect data much faster than traditional methods,” Ryan says. “Applications like wildlife surveys and large-scale monitoring are being transformed by drone technology." Drones equipped with multispectral, thermal, and LiDAR sensors can generate detailed datasets that support habitat mapping, vegetation analysis, and long-term monitoring. These tools help project teams better understand site conditions, identify degraded areas, measure restoration success over time, and conduct comprehensive scientific studies.

A notable example is Princeton Hydro’s involvement in a groundbreaking drone-based research initiative to monitor harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Delaware River Watershed. This effort, done in partnership with Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space with funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's (NFWF) Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund (DWCF), in partnership with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the project leverages drone technology and advanced data modeling to identify environmental conditions that contribute to HAB formation and aims to develop tools and methodologies for early detection and management.

[gallery columns="2" link="none" ids="19329,19928"]

Drones equipped with multispectral imaging systems capture high-resolution spatial data that is then integrated with digital platforms to link remote-sensing with the drone data and on-the-water collected data. The field-based water quality measurements are being collected by a team of trained community volunteers who are using phycocyanin fluorometer meters to measure concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment phycocyanin, which is produced primarily by cyanobacteria. Volunteers enter the data into a customized ArcGIS mobile-friendly survey. These combined datasets will be used to develop and validate predictive algorithms for both planktonic and benthic HABs under varying seasonal and hydrologic conditions. Drone flights and data collection began in Fall 2025 and will continue through 2026, with a final report anticipated in 2027. Click here to read more about this initiative.

Wissahickon Valley Park is one of Philadelphia’s most treasured natural resources, welcoming more than two million visitors each year. Over time, flooding, erosion, and stormwater runoff have taken an increasing toll on the park, threatening water quality, trail safety, and recreational access.

To help protect and sustain this vital landscape and community resource, Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW), in partnership with Princeton Hydro, is conducting a comprehensive resiliency and flood study along Forbidden Drive and its seven adjacent access trails. One of the most important voices in this process is yours. A public survey is now open through June 6 to gather input on flooding, erosion, and trail conditions in these targeted areas. Your feedback will play a key role in shaping the study’s priorities and recommendations.

The new Streambank Resiliency and Flood Study builds upon the 2017 Forbidden Drive Drainage System Assessment and expands its focus to address ongoing challenges such as stormwater runoff, sediment discharge, streambank instability, and interior flooding along Forbidden Drive and its adjacent trails. As part of the study, Princeton Hydro is reassessing previously identified drainage features and conducting a comprehensive site evaluation to better understand how conditions have changed over time and where new problem areas have emerged.

The goal is to develop a clear, actionable plan that:
  • Identifies and prioritizes areas most vulnerable to flooding, erosion, and sedimentation;
  • Recommends restoration and stabilization measures that balance ecological health, recreational use, and long-term resilience;
  • Provides a phased roadmap with cost estimates and visual materials to help FOW secure funding to implement priority projects; and
  • Ultimately, improves water quality in Wissahickon Creek, enhances trail safety and accessibility, and protects natural ecosystems.

What We've Heard So Far

At the first public meeting earlier this month, community members played an active role in shaping the direction of the study. The session began with an overview of the project’s purpose, scope, and methodology, including preliminary findings on areas most vulnerable to flooding, sediment discharge, and streambank instability. Attendees also had the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the project team, helping to build a shared understanding of the challenges facing the park.

[gallery link="none" columns="2" size="full" ids="19867,19868"]

Following the presentation, participants took part in an interactive mapping exercise designed to gather site-specific knowledge from those who know the park best. Working in small groups around large, printed maps of the study area, attendees identified flood-prone zones, areas of active erosion, and locations where trail conditions have declined over time along Forbidden Drive and its access points. Participants marked up the maps and shared observations, stories, and ideas for potential restoration opportunities, creating a collaborative and hands-on dialogue about the park’s needs.

This exercise generated valuable, location-specific insight that is already informing the study. Participants highlighted:

  • Sections of trails that frequently flood, even during moderate storms
  • Areas where erosion is worsening year over year
  • Locations where stormwater runoff has carved new gullies or damaged infrastructure
  • Spots where trail conditions affect safety, accessibility, and overall user experience
[gallery link="none" columns="2" size="medium" ids="19855,19852,19856,19851"]

In addition to identifying problem areas, attendees also shared perspectives on what makes the park special and where restoration efforts could have the greatest impact. This type of feedback is critical to ensuring the study reflects real-world conditions and community priorities. To ensure the most comprehensive understanding of conditions in the targeted areas, the project team is looking to hear from an even broader range of park users.


Your Perspective Is Critical. Take the Survey Today!

While engineers and scientists are conducting in-depth field investigations and comprehensive technical analyses, they do not experience the park in the same way as those who use it regularly. The firsthand perspective of park visitors is invaluable for identifying problem areas and guiding solutions and priorities that truly reflect how the park is used and experienced.

Whether you hike regularly, bike on weekends, volunteer, or simply visit occasionally, you have seen things others might not:
  • Where does flooding linger after storms?
  • Which trails are hardest to navigate?
  • Where have you noticed erosion, exposed roots, or unstable slopes?
  • What areas feel most important to preserve or improve?
The online public survey is designed to make it easy for anyone to contribute. Through the survey, you can:
  • Pinpoint locations where you have observed flooding or erosion
  • Share photos from your visits
  • Describe how trail conditions affect your experience

Gloucester County’s Scotland Run Nature Preserve is a place where education, recreation, and ecological diversity come together. As the largest park in the county system, spanning more than 1,300 acres, Scotland Run offers visitors a chance to explore a wide range of habitats including woodlands, open fields, streams, and lakeside environments. Situated along the boundary of New Jersey’s Inner and Outer Coastal Plains, the park reflects features of both Piedmont and Pine Barrens landscapes, supporting a remarkable variety of wildlife.

At the center of the park is Wilson Lake, an 80-acre man-made lake created by a historic dam built for Fries Mill on Scotland Run. Today, the lake provides passive recreation opportunities such as fishing, canoeing, and nature observation. An ADA-accessible fishing pier near the boat launch ensures that these experiences are available to everyone. The park is also highly family friendly, with maintained walking trails, picnic areas, a playground, restrooms, and a Nature Center that serves as a hub for learning and discovery.

This winter, the Nature Center hosted Nature at Night, a popular exploration series that invites community members to engage with the natural world through hands-on presentations led by environmental professionals. Held on the 3rd Thursday of the month from January to April, topics throughout the series included mammals, fossils, insects, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, offering something for nature lovers of all interests.

Princeton Hydro Senior Wildlife Biologist Mike McGraw, CSE, QAWB, ACE led an engaging and energetic program focused on reptile and amphibian evolution, morphological adaptations, and the incredible diversity found right here in New Jersey. To bring these concepts to life, he introduced a mix of his personal pets and rescue animals, creating meaningful, up-close learning experiences with the audience members.

The turnout was outstanding, with a packed room of participants ranging in age from 4 to 74. Guests were curious and enthusiastic, asking thoughtful questions and sharing their own stories, which helped create an inclusive and lively learning environment. It was clear that hands-on outreach like this sparks curiosity and builds lasting connections to local ecosystems.

The Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are known for their vibrant blue-gray plumage and distinctive calls. Their presence in the summer months marks the arrival of these energetic birds in their breeding range, which includes the eastern and southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. The Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are also the northernmost-occurring species of their genus and are the only truly migratory gnatcatcher. Their role in the ecosystem as insectivores, contributes to the balance of their habitats.
