The focus of CEM’s Water Resources Studies is to help ensure that we all continue to have safe and adequate recreational and drinking water supplies.
Environmental Management and Permitting
for MCRA Recreational Facilities
The Montgomery County Revenue Authority owns and operates nine golf courses, and operates under lease an additional four golf courses in Montgomery County, Maryland. For all of these facilities, adequate water resources are a necessity for successful operations. Since 1996, CEM has helped MCRA with dozens of projects related to their water resources. We have helped by calculating water supply and needs; siting and developing new irrigation wells; designing, permitting and overseeing the construction of dam and pond renovations; assessment and modeling of pond storage volume; developing an Emergency Action Plan for dam failure; assessing thermal impacts to receiving waters; stream bank stabilization design; and water appropriation permitting.
