Board to request hydraulic study and state inspection for large culvert near proposed pavilion
Summary
Board members agreed to pursue a hydraulic study for a large culvert next to the proposed pavilion site and to ask a state inspector to examine the structure; culvert size was described as roughly 108 inches (about 9 feet) and a sapling at the outlet raised concern about structural integrity.
Board members discussed possible flooding and drainage concerns near the proposed pavilion and agreed to seek technical review. A board member reported that outreach to AOT (the Agency of Transportation) indicated the agency could perform a hydraulic study but that it might take months; with the board's permission the member said they would contact Brian Sanderson to request a local hydraulic study sooner.
Another member reported contacting Spencer Howard with the Vermont state bridge inspection program, who said he inspects structures 6 feet and larger and that he could inspect town structures (20 feet threshold for certain town structures) if reminded in October. The culvert was described in the meeting as a multi‑plate culvert roughly 108 inches (about 9 feet) across with a small tree or sapling at the outlet that could impair performance; members agreed to pursue inspection and a hydraulic study to confirm whether the culvert is adequately sized and whether vegetation should be removed.
