Team Will Lead Preliminary Engineering and Develop Corridor-Wide Resilience Blueprint for a Critical Northeast Rail Corridor STV today announced that it has been selected, in joint venture with WSP, by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to lead design and preliminary engineering for a major climate resilience program along Metro-North Railroad’s Hudson Line. This project supports a broader $800 million effort to protect one of the Northeast’s most heavily traveled rail corridors from flooding, extreme rainfall and other climate-related threats. Serving approximately  10 million riders annually, the 75-mile corridor is a critical transportation link between New York City and the Hudson Valley. Stretching from New York City to Poughkeepsie, the Hudson Line faces growing risks from coastal flooding, extreme rainfall, mudslides and washouts. The New York City Panel on Climate Change projects sea levels could rise by 23” the 2050s and 45” in the 2080s, putting low-...

Atomic Cleanup Program By JoAnne Castagna, Ed.D. The hot cup of coffee you sipped this morning was made possible in large part because of the scientific advances made during the Atomic Age in the 1940’s. These innovations included the plastic parts on your coffee maker, the paper packets holding your sugar, the plumbing carrying your water, the microwave reheating your cup, and the electrical power running everything. Society has benefited in so many ways from the work performed by Atomic Age innovators that included The Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission, predecessor of the U.S. Department of Energy, but unfortunately where this work was performed created waste that contaminated the land.  Soon, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District will be cleaning up one of these properties and applying an innovative soil sorting system that will save tax-payer money, reduce air pollution, and most importantly return the land back to the communi...
