The Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District (CCSWCD) is seeking a qualified engineering firm to develop a culvert replacement engineering feasibility study/design report for a stream culvert on Shingle Street in the Town of Schuyler Falls, NY.
Engineering feasibility studies or design reports for culvert repair and replacement projects must include the following required elements. Feasibility studies and engineering designs must include an accurate description of the existing conditions and the proposed work. The feasibility study or engineering design report must also identify necessary permits to complete the project. Engineering designs must follow DEC’s Guidelines and Best Management Practices for Stream Crossings and meet the minimum Protection of Waters permit requirements. Engineering designs may also be designed to meet New York State Department of Transportation’s Highway Design Manual Chapter 8 for culverts and DEC’s Technical Guidance #2 (DFW GS 24-01),
Background
The road stream crossing is an undersized culvert that is prone to blockage by beaver activity and has the potential for flooding. It is located on a town highway but is bounded on both sides by land owned by New York State. The site was identified by the Town Highway Superintendent as a concern and a NYS DEC Non Point Source Planning Grant was obtained to fund this study.
