Bushkill Township installed 3 French mattresses, corrugated stormwater pipe, and
a swale to regulate stormwater runoff and prevent the erosion of the 1-mile long
trail around the wildflower meadow at Ballas Preserve. After installation of the
stormwater best management practices (BMPs), a fresh trail surface of screenings
was added to improve all of the washout areas. Once the trail work was complete,
the washouts in the parking lot were repaired by spreading recycled, screened
blacktop millings as a new surface that will be stronger than the previously used
screenings. This will result in less washouts in the future.
Amount: $5,000
