Session 1: Green Infrastructure Site Selection Using a Collaborative Watershed Based Approach, 10:30 AM to 12 PM

Kayla Larson, PE – Tighe & Bond

Merrimack River Watershed Coalition established a project team consisting of Groundwork Lawrence, Merrimack Valley Planning Commission, the Cities of Lawrence and Methuen, and Tighe & Bond to develop a Watershed Based Plan to address water quality of the Spicket River. The project’s collaborative technical approach and community engagement strategies offer a replicable model for selecting green stormwater infrastructure projects that address water quality issues in urban river corridors, particularly in under-resourced communities.

Friday, September 6^th

Session 3: New England Culvert Asset Management, 3 PM to 4:30 PM

Katelyn Donovan, EIT – Tighe & Bond

Jamie Fitzpatrick, PE – Tighe & Bond

With more intense storms and increased flooding in the Northeast, many municipalities are recognizing the need to understand the condition and vulnerabilities in their drainage systems. Using New England case studies, we will discuss the process of developing culvert asset management programs to identify culverts in poor condition or that are likely undersized and develop a risk-based plan for maintenance and replacement. In this presentation, we will review the varying implementation strategies and lessons learned.
