Project Introduction BBR Category A Report

Objective:

The completion of this road erosion and structures inventory for the town of Concord, VT suits the mission of the Essex

County Natural Resources Conservation District (ECNRCD) to sustain and protect the vast and varied natural resources of

Essex County. The districts main objective was to work with the town to accomplish this inventory effort; build working

relationships around this topic; raise awareness of road related water quality issues; and to provide the town with a

comprehensive practical report listing priority road sites with water quality issues in need of the town’s attention including

estimated costs and effective solutions for the prioritized sites.

In general this effort is meant to facilitate the enhancement of general maintenance and working practices on town gravel

roads while improving local water quality. This is done by first understanding road erosion and then addressing issues with

effective control practices. Soil vegetative cover, velocity of runoff and soil properties influence the amount of erosion in an

area and are what can be controlled. Erosion occurs when exposed soils on road, in the ditches and banks with hilly

topography receive rapid water velocities mainly during storm runoff events carrying away sediment particles. Soil sediment

textures influence erodiblity, the town of Concords soils are for the partly made up of glacial till with origins from the mostly

granitic and some metamorphic parent material- sandy, stony and loamy soils. These relatively large particle soils tend to drain

quicker reducing their erosion susceptibility but with likely low soil organic matter and compaction issues these soils are still

vulnerable to erosion. There are also areas in the low laying topography with poorly drained silty loam dominant dense glacial

till soils with poor drainage and higher erodablity. Please refer to the included maps which are meant to introduce town

decision makers to some of the town’s natural resources characteristics.

This is a water quality issue once these sediments reach surface waters and have the potential to affect the water

chemistry/nutrient balance and aquatic habitat. The public needs the help of towns to protect the quality of Vermont’s

waterways by assuring their necessary and important work also prevents eroded sediments from making their way to streams,

rivers and lakes. This inventory report is meant to assist the town in this effort by servicing as a working document to be

utilized as a guide and a tool that should be updated over time. The ECNRCD is available for assisting in any updates, future

inventories and offers grant project promotion in both administrative and implementation capacities.

Description of Project:

Essex County Natural Resources Conservation District staff worked with the town officials- mainly the town road foreman-,

VTrans district 7 manager and VTDEC watershed coordinator to conduct a road erosion and structures inventory. Field

inventories were centered on town priorities based on the town’s road foreman’s recollections of maintenance priorities and

problem areas that have continual problems associated with spring runoff and summer storms; as well as medium & high

ranked areas of the VTDEC Road Erosion Risk Analysis mapping data. These town concerns and mapping data analysis areas

generally overlapped.

The town of Concord, VT has a total of 65 miles of roads of that, 55 miles, are class 3 roads. The town has adopted the new

state codes and standards, is interested in trying some new erosion control techniques and overall seems to be doing a good job

with condition and maintenance of the road system. Including continuing to work toward meeting the principles of getting

water off the roads as soon as possible- proper road crowing, preventing water from running lengthen wise down the road-

stabilizing and vegetating disturbed areas as soon as possible, diverting water to vegetative areas away from surface waters,

installing stoned lined ditches, and having good regular maintenance. These standards and other management practices, such

as proper grading to avoid creating a ridge between the crown and ditch, removing any berms created, vegetating ditches after

maintenance and maintaining vegetation should continue to be improved upon and accepted as general town operating

practices. The town might also want to consider completing a town highway and infrastructure study.

3

After major flood damage in 2011 resulting in FEMA and state funded projects town officials understand that these standards

well serve their short and long term management. In addition there is an understanding of the importance of maintaining clean

waterways while implementing annual maintenance and larger capital projects. While there have been a few structural projects

implemented in the past few years Better Back Roads grants have not been utilized in the town. The town doesn’t have a

completed town highway and infrastructure study nor do they conduct and document broad based inventories.

A total of twenty-four sites were assessed as well as private roads located around Miles Pond, which is known to be stressed

due to sedimentation and has increased nutrient trends based on lay spring phosphorous sampling. This inventory represents

observations seen in dry conditions and after rain storms. Being that this inventory was conducted on targeted sites based on

VTDEC mapping analysis and town priorities this report hasn’t captured all of the potential issues in the town’s road network.

After considering site assessments and evaluation based on water quality impacts and scope of the project feasibility ECNRCD

and town staff prioritized 11 sites which are listed below in order of water quality protection priority but it will be up the town

of Concord to determine the priorities for project implementation. Best management practices installations were considered

for these priority sites, materials list and estimated budgets where put together and potential funding amounts from grant

sources at 80% and town capital budget at 20% were estimated. All sites would qualify for Better Back Roads Category B

grants besides the Wilson Rd and Prospect Rd culverts which would qualify for VTAOT Town highway structures grant.

The following pages of this report include information for each of these sites. These site descriptions are intended to be used

and/or contribute to future implementation grant proposals. Write ups include a map and pictures of location, a site

description of each location, the erosion water quality issue, recommended treatment with construction notes referring to state

technical documents to be used during further construction planning, estimated cost of construction and for most sites an

example of conceptual drawings, copied from the VT Better Back Road Manual, of proposed treatment.

*Potential grant sources the town should be aware of: VTAOT Transportation Alternatives, VTDEC Ecosystem Restoration Program, VT Fish and Wildlife

State Wildlife grant (culvert replacement), VTAOT Town Bridge, Structures and Highway programs, and VT Better Back Roads Category B grant

Site Description_______________________________________________________________________

Long Hill Road project area has native soils of Cabot to Cabot-Colonel Complex of poorly to somewhat poorly drained silt

loamy till. The road is 2.66 mile ~7% slope class 3 road with narrow road surface, high vegetated banks and small to no

ditching. There has been recent residential development in the higher section of the road. The section of from this new house

down ~800’ to a poor condition cross culvert the has road surface and ditch erosion that directly deposits to unnamed brook

that drains to the Moose River and runs parallel to road.

Recommended Treatment______________________________________________________________

Starting approximately .5 mile up from the bottom of the road at existing cross culvert up to first driveway ~300’ remove

vegetation and push back banks to the R.O.W. on the north side of the road. Install properly lined ditches, install a metal 24”

cross culvert at the top of the section and a 30’ culvert at the bottom of the section ~20’ up from existing cross culvert. Install

a sediment detention basin/pool at the outlet of each to decrease velocity and capture sediment.

This treatment will only address the bottom section of the area with issue but will address the direct loading to the stream and

will give the town a place to start in getting this road into better shape.

LeClair Road project area has native soils are Cabot-Colonel complex of poorly to somewhat poorly drained loamy stony till.

The road is 2.97 mile ~10% slope class 4 road with narrow road surface, vegetated banks and no ditching with one ditch on

the north side of the road that has become a perennial stream. There has recent residential development in the higher section

of the road. The section of from the last recently installed turn out to ~225’ to the bottom of the road has road surface water

flow and erosion that directly deposits to Halls Brook and around where the town installed a new bridge in 2011.


Address erosion from last turn out to bottom by installing three additional proper road turnouts on the south side of road,

reshaping and grading the road surface toward these turnouts with the lowest one being larger and acting also as settling basin.

This treatment will only address the bottom section of the area with issue but will address the direct loading to the stream and

will give the town a place to start in getting this road into better shape.

Shadow Lake Road project area has native soils are Cabot-Colonel complex of poorly to somewhat poorly drained loamy

stony dense till. The road is 3.07 mile ~8-12% slope class 2 road. The ditch, which in some areas has bedrock in it, is eroding

into the road. This erosion goes the end of the ditch to an unnamed small mountain stream into a road culvert that flows

~500’ directly to Shadow Lake. The road culvert has an eroded headwall.


Armor the ditch bank; excavate an area the normal size of average road edge erosion at the edge of road close to the ditch. Lay

filter fabric in the excavated area tying it to the road, lay large stone over the fabric add more stone on that, and then reshape

top of road edge and surface. Install headwall on stream culvert.

Beebe Road project area has native soils of Cabot-Colonel complex of poorly to somewhat poorly drained loamy stony till.

The road is .91 mile ~10% slope class 3 road. Bridge and road work was completed in 2013 at the bottom of the road, at the

four way intersection. The road and ditches are generally in good condition with cross culvert and stone line ditches at the

bottom of the road. The ditch on the south side below Morton Ln has a ditch that shows signs of significant erosion. This

ditch carries water off of Morton Rd and Beebe and goes into two culverts the last culvert outlet shows signs of sediment

depositing in close proximity to Halls Brook. There are culverts at the upper section of this road that potentially have issues.

The town, DEC and VTrans are already working on this and thus are not mention here.
