KADUNCE RIVER

NORDIC Group performed river and trail restorations as well as in-stream habitat enhancements for trout and steelhead along roughly 1,500 feet of the Kadunce River. NORDIC created fish habitat structures out of rocks, logs and other habitable structures in the stream bed and riverbanks. Because this project had challenging access, NORDIC utilized specialty equipment to work in and along the confined riverbed to minimize damage to other critical natural features. NORDIC was selected by the MN Trout Unlimited and the MnDNR staff as a qualified Stream Habitat and Excavation Contractor to complete this critical habitat restoration project.

PIER B RESORT & HOTEL

NORDIC Group, Inc. provided underwater inspections, demolition, earthwork, construction oversight/inspection, and capping of contaminated soil. Capping of legacy contaminants in Slip 2 involved the development of a public and private partnership that included the developer, the MPCA, Army Corps of Engineers and the Minnesota MDNR. The capping project placed a minimum of 2.8 feet of clean dredge sediments across the 2+ acre slip. The dredge material used was pre-screened for structural and chemical characteristics and obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers dredging operations. An additional 7 feet of dredge material was placed above the cap to provide structural support to the aging pier walls and to provide protected shallow water habitat.
