ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
Our Environmental Commitment
Environmental sustainability is the essential existential challenge of the 21st century. Flyway Excavating is proud to be at the forefront of the movement, particularly in the areas of water quality improvement and the implementation of green infrastructure solutions. Clean water is essential for human health, ecosystem balance, and economic stability, making its quality a cornerstone of sustainable development.
Water Quality Improvement
For over 30 years, Flyway has worked with private landowners, municipalities, manufacturers, and others to improve the quality of our waterways. A vital part of this is reducing the concentration of pollutants that have run off from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources. We help our clients meet federal and state regulations on their properties, always with those downstream foremost in our minds.
We also work to improve water quality through restoring and creating new wetlands, removing old dams to return the flow of water to its natural state, and installing elements such as woody debris or log vanes. These improve water quality by mitigating erosion, with the added benefit of creating habitat for aquatic species.
Flyway believes it is incumbent upon all of us to restore and protect bodies of water and the biodiversity they support, and to safeguard the health of communities dependent on these resources.
Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure offers innovative methods to manage stormwater and reduce urban runoff. Solutions such as permeable pavements, rain gardens, and wetland creation and restoration capture and filter rainwater but also mitigate the risks of flooding and erosion. These systems mimic natural processes, allowing rainwater to infiltrate the ground rather than overwhelming drainage systems. By implementing green infrastructure, cities can improve water quality while enhancing urban green spaces, which foster biodiversity and provide recreational areas for residents.
Moreover, green infrastructure can play a vital role in climate adaptation. As climate change leads to more extreme weather patterns, resilient water management systems are essential. By investing in sustainable landscaping and urban design, cities can prepare for heavy rainfall and reduce the heat island effect, ultimately improving overall public health and quality of life.
A Healthier Future for All
Achieving environmental sustainability is dependent upon improving water quality and implementing green infrastructure solutions. By addressing these related areas, we’re helping communities not only protect vital water resources but also create a healthier, more resilient environment for future generations.
