CUDDY INTERCOUNTY DRAIN
LRE developed a holistic, sustainable solution to upgrade failing infrastructure, construct a stable channel geometry, reduce the sediment load, limit debris and improve water quality. Culverts were sized to span the bankfull width and provide a natural channel bottom for fish passage. Natural channel design was incorporated into the Allegan County portion of the project to develop a stable dimension, pattern and profile.
RESIDENT FEEDBACK
the end product is a beautiful, navigable channel that is clean and safe from debris, stable from erosion – and the upstream drain is actually a very lovely place to see!
