Completed Sites Dirt and Gravel

Paved LVR

Nearly 800 contracts completed

• Should stabilize at ~15-16M DnG, 6-7M LVR



• As expected, larger, more complex projects • LVR and DnG contract sizes increasing rapidly

Ownership of completed projects, 2015-2016 • Townships still dominant grant recipient • Boroughs and Cities increasing in LVR projects

ASR Details Deliverables

Drainage Culverts (Crosspipes): Why: The most basic tool used in the Program to break up surface runoff volumes and encourage infiltration. 2016 Stats: • 624 existing pipes replaced (465 D&G, 159 LVR) • 866 new pipes installed (767 D&G, 99 LVR) That totals 5 miles of pipe end to end!


Road Fill Why: Roads become “entrenched” over years of traffic, maintenance, and erosion, trapping drainage and act like streams. Often filling the road is the best long term solution. 2016 Stats: • 293,000 tons of road fill added (265,000 on D&G, 28,000 on LVR) (10,000+ Tri-axle truck loads) That is a football field, covered ~74’ deep!


Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA): Why: DSA is designed for maximum compaction to resist erosion and degradation. DSA has been shown to lengthen maintenance cycles and reduce sediment runoff from unpaved roads. 2016 Stats: • 227,000 tons of DSA placed (10,000+ Tri-axle truck loads) That is a road 18’ wide from Harrisburg to State College (70 mi)


Stream Crossing Replacements Why: The Program targets undersized stream culverts and bridges for replacement in reduce long-term maintenance and stream flow issues. See back panel for more details. 2016 Stats: • 80 Stream Crossing Structures Replaced • 41% round pipes, 28% squash pipes, 20% plate arch, 11% other
