E4614-001, Department of General Services, Bureau of Engineering and Architecture, 18th and Herr Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17125, Ardsley Drainage Channel Flood Protection Project, Township of Upper Dublin, Montgomery County, ACOE Philadelphia District.
The permit is requested for a flood protection project with the following activates associated with the construction of the project in and along approximately 2,500 linear feet (~1.7acres) of the Ardsley Drainage Channel (intermittent, WWF):
1. The upstream end of the project is at Penn Street in Abington Township. The upstream end of the project connects to an existing elliptical concrete pipe under Penn Street. A concrete box culvert (10 feet wide) will run for 305 linear feet from the Penn Street pipe.
2. The concrete box culvert empties into a 10-foot wide rectangular concrete channel. This channel will extend for a distance of 340 feet to an area near the intersection of Spear Avenue and Avenue G. The channel transitions to a 14-foot width and continues for a distance of 188 feet to Avenue H.
3. The existing corrugated metal pipe arch under Avenue H will be replaced with a new concrete box culvert that is 14 feet wide. The new concrete box culvert is 63 feet long.
4. A rectangular concrete channel will be constructed from Avenue H to Avenue J. The channel will run for a distance of 172 linear feet. The width of the concrete channel is 10 feet.
5. A precast concrete box culvert will replace the existing corrugated metal pipe under Avenue J. The box culvert also replaces a riprap lined channel between Avenue J and North Hills Avenue. The box culvert is 252 feet long with interior dimensions of 10 feet wide and 4 feet high.
6. A precast concrete box culvert will replace the existing box culvert under North Hills Avenue down to Fitzwatertown Road. The box culvert is 895 feet long with interior dimensions that vary between widths of 10 and 14 feet width depths between 4 feet and 3 feet 9 inches.
7. An existing concrete box culvert under Fitzwatertown Road will remain. The existing box culvert is 100 feet long.
8. A trapezoidal riprap channel will be constructed downstream of the existing Fitzwatertown Road culvert. The riprap channel will have a bottom width of 12 feet and a bank height of 5 feet. This channel will extend for a distance of 145 feet to the stream junction with Sandy Run.
The project is located along the Ardsley Drainage Channel (Ambler, PA Quadrangle N: 0.0 inch, W: 5.0 inches) in Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County.
E3514-001, Department of General Services, Bureau of Engineering and Architecture, 18th and Herr Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17125, Meadow Brook Flood Control Project, City of Scranton, Lackawanna County, USACOE Baltimore District.
This permit is requested for a flood protection project in and along approximately 3,524 linear feet (approximately 4.5 acres) of Meadow Brook. Permit No. E35-356, which was previously issued for this work, inadvertently expired December 31, 2005. The project begins 180 feet upstream of Green Ridge Street (USGS ''Scranton'' Quadrangle, North 9.5 inches, West 3.2 inches) and extends to Meadow Brook's confluence with the Lackawanna River (USGS ''Scranton'' Quadrangle, North 9.0 inches, West 4.6 inches).
In November 2005, under a Federal contract, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) began construction of an earthen levee flood protection project along the east bank of the Lackawanna River. That work is scheduled to be complete in March 2007. Since the levee system will cross the Meadow Brook outfall, the pipe sections at the outfall of the Commonwealth's Meadow Brook project must be installed before the Corps can extend their levee across and beyond Meadow Brook. Therefore, it is imperative that the Meadow Brook project begins as soon as possible. Delays in starting construction of the Meadow Brook project will almost certainly result in delays and cost increases in the Corps project.
The following activities are associated with the Meadow Brook project:
* Remove existing culverts and stream enclosures along a 3,524-foot reach of Meadow Brook.
* Construct and maintain a 16-foot long concrete transition culvert between the upstream end existing culvert and a new 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 1,806 linear feet of 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 231 linear feet of 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete open channel.
* Construct and maintain a 14-foot-long concrete transition structure between the 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete open channel and a new 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Install and maintain 360 linear feet of 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Construct and maintain a 22-foot long concrete transition culvert between the 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert and a new 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 188 linear feet of 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain a 22-foot long concrete transition culvert between the 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert and a new 12-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Install and maintain 814 linear feet of 12-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert. At pipe outlet, construct and maintain concrete end walls and a 53-foot long grouted R-7 riprap apron.
* Construct and maintain approximately 11 stormwater outfall penetrations varying in size from 18-inch diameter to 48-inch diamter at various locations along the flood control project.
Anticipated construction time is 18 months.
