Breakfast Lecture: Culvert Projects & Funding Sources
Improper structures that carry roads over streams pose hazards and liabilities to both our transportation network and the ecological network of our area resulting in flooding, habitat fragmentation, erosion, and disruption of critical services and systems. Culvert rightsizing programs, which support planning and implementation efforts, are critical to improving stream connectivity and flood resilience across the Hudson River Watershed.
Our April breakfast webinar focused on planning and implementing culvert improvement projects, as well as funding opportunities. Ben Ganon, Ulster County Department of the Environment, shared projects to assess, plan, and design culvert replacements, including a new geospatial website to share their findings. Corbin Gosier, NYSDEC, described DEC’s Aquatic Connectivity Program including funding opportunities for culvert replacements through the Water Quality Improvement Program.
This program is supported by funding from the Hudson River Estuary Program, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, with support from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund, in cooperation with NEIWPCC.
