Barona Beach

Client: Barona Beach Resort Strata

Location: West Kelowna, BC

Project: Shoreline Erosion Protection and Habitat Restoration

Services:  Environmental Permitting and Monitoring

Principal of Elevate, Melony Catana managed this project while working at EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd.  Barona Beach contacted Melony for assistance with an erosion problem along the Okanagan Lake shoreline of their property.  Because the grade of the property was brought up significantly during development of the property, an unprotected portion of the shoreline was being eroded wave action.  Melony coordinated the services of a geotechnical engineer to assist her with the development of a restoration plan, which included a retaining wall and a riparian restoration landscape plan.  Melony also prepared a Section 9 application and assisted with the preparation of a Development Permit Application to the District of West Kelowna.  Both permits have been successful and work is planned for fall of 2012.
