21-315.1 - RE-BID EAST BRANCH OF THE AUSABLE RIVER RESTORATION PROJECT

RE-BID EAST BRANCH OF THE AUSABLE RIVER RESTORATION PROJECT – PROJECTS 2 AND 3 at JAY, NEW YORK 

Project 2
This project involves the restoration of approximately 2,800 linear feet of the EBAR including modifying the grade of the channel bottom, the restoration of stream access to the flood plain, adding flow control weirs, j-hooks, rock cascades, adding bank and road protection for the existing roadway, bankful benches and plugging the secondary channel.

Project 3
This project involves the restoration of approximately 1,300 linear feet of the EBAR including modifying the grade of the channel bottom, narrowing the channel, and restoring the alignment of the river by removing the gravel bar island deposited during past storm events. Several flow
control structures are being added along with the restoration of the channel including the addition of a toe wood bankful bench on both sides of the channel. A hardened chute will also be constructed at the existing secondary channel to allow access to the flood plain only for flows exceeding the bankful event.
