Follow the River Environmental (FTR) provided comprehensive stormwater and environmental compliance services for the Ohio Department of Transportation’s SR 7 slip repair project in Jefferson County near Mingo Junction. This large-scale slope stabilization effort involves significant excavation, embankment construction, and earth-disturbing activities to address longstanding geotechnical instability along the corridor. Kokosing Construction Company served as the prime contractor, with Cast & Baker Construction performing major excavation and embankment work associated with the movement of large volumes of material. FTR’s scope included Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) support and constant communication with contractor staff during weekly and monthly inspections to coordinate ongoing stabilization efforts and maintain effective erosion control measures. Through proactive planning and field oversight, FTR helped ensure regulatory compliance while protecting surrounding waterways throughout this complex project, which is scheduled for completion in 2026.
