A second encroachment is to replace a 12-inch and 18-inch culvert system with a single appropriately size 24-inch culvert. A third encroachment is to replace a 12-inch culvert with an appropriately sized 18-inch culvert. A fourth encroachment is to decommission a dirt fill crossing to restore a class III watercourse to its natural channel. Work for the water diversion and stream crossing will include use and maintenance of the infrastructure.
