5 Center and Program Current Status 2-Day Environmentally Sensitive Maintenance (ESM) Classroom Training Applicants must attend to be eligible for funding

6 Center and Program Current Status 2-Day Environmentally Sensitive Maintenance (ESM) Classroom Training Applicants must attend to be eligible for funding Municipalities with current certification to apply for funding (12/31/16)

7 Center and Program Current Status Annual Maintenance Workshop 3-day conference with speakers and field trips Held in different location each fall

8 Center and Program Current Status Annual Maintenance Workshop September 26-28, 2017 Sayre, Bradford County, PA Largest county Program, many projects to see Before After

9 Center and Program Current Status ESM Trainings Annual Workshops Additional Trainings and Outreach Administrative Training Geographic Information System Training Stream and Bankfull Training Topic-Specific Webinars Project Sharing Sessions Advanced ESM Trainings Demonstration Days

10 Center and Program Current Status Technical Assistance 150+ On-site Technical Assistance visits in 2016 Application development Site layout Project oversight Project troubleshooting 90+ Quarry Visits / Aggregate Testing in 2016 Administrative Geographic Information System

11 Center and Program Current Status GIS Tracking System Online system to track projects and spending Data input by Conservation Districts Used to generate Annual Summary Report

12 Center and Program Current Status GIS Tracking System Online system to track projects and spending Data input by Conservation Districts Used to generate Annual Summary Report Over $100 M Currently Tracked in System 3,800+ completed projects for over $78 million 500+ active contracts for over $25 million $10+ million in admin and education spending Public Viewer available at

14 ASR Details Spending annual average New Funding and LVR show up in 2015 Completed 1997 through ,637 DnG Contracts 195 LVR Contracts

15 Completed Sites Dirt and Gravel Paved LVR and 2016 Nearly 800 contracts completed If you are reading this, then you are successfully seeing the webinar video. In addition to audio on the webinar, we have opened a phone conference line to allow attendees to listen and ask questions directly: Please use either the webinar audio or conference line, but not both (will produce feedback).

16 ASR Details Spending

17 ASR Details Spending Should stabilize at ~15-16M DnG, 6-7M LVR

18 ASR Details Spending As expected, larger, more complex projects LVR and DnG contract sizes increasing rapidly

19 ASR Details Spending Ownership of completed projects, Townships still dominant grant recipient Boroughs and Cities increasing in LVR projects Dirt and Gravel Project Owners Low Volume Project Owners

20 ASR Details Spending Currently Contracted (4/3/2017) Dirt and Gravel 360 Contracts $18.5 million committed Low Volume 169 Contracts $7 million committed

21 ASR Details Deliverables Drainage Culverts (Crosspipes): Why: The most basic tool used in the Program to break up surface runoff volumes and encourage infiltration Stats: 624 existing pipes replaced (465 D&G, 159 LVR) 866 new pipes installed (767 D&G, 99 LVR) That totals 5 miles of pipe end to end!

22 ASR Details Deliverables Road Fill Why: Roads become entrenched over years of traffic, maintenance, and erosion, trapping drainage and act like streams. Often filling the road is the best long term solution Stats: 293,000 tons of road fill added (265,000 on D&G, 28,000 on LVR) (10,000+ Tri-axle truck loads) That is a football field, covered ~74 deep!

23 ASR Details Deliverables Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA): Why: DSA is designed for maximum compaction to resist erosion and degradation. DSA has been shown to lengthen maintenance cycles and reduce sediment runoff from unpaved roads Stats: 227,000 tons of DSA placed (10,000+ Tri-axle truck loads) That is a road 18 wide from Harrisburg to State College (70 mi)

24 ASR Details Deliverables Stream Crossing Replacements Why: The Program targets undersized stream culverts and bridges for replacement in reduce long-term maintenance and stream flow issues. See back panel for more details Stats: 80 Stream Crossing Structures Replaced 41% round pipes, 28% squash pipes, 20% plate arch, 11% other
