Document Description
The Project includes replacing two, deteriorated 48-inch diameter and 60-foot-long
corrugated metal culverts with reinforced concrete culverts of the same diameter and
length. In addition, a third culvert would be added under the road crossing to
facilitate increased water conveyance through the crossing and pre-cast concrete
inlet structures fitted with trash racks would be installed at the culvert inlets. Rip-rap
protection aprons would underlie the culvert inlets and outlets. Aprons would extend
up the banks of the slough and upstream and downstream of the culverts for about
20 linear feet and measure about 18 inches thick. Near the top of bank in proximity
to the culverts, geojute and native seed mix would be applied for stabilization. Work
would be completed when the work area is dry or dewatered.
