RICHMONDVILLE STREAM MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM. FINAL REPORT

Construction of I-88 through Richmondville, N.Y., impacted 1.5 miles of the town's watershed and passed within 150 feet of their two reservoirs. An earthen berm was constructed between the reservoirs and highway to divert highway runoff/spills in the vicinity, however, this was infeasible for the remainder of the watershed. Therefore, the consultant was retained to devise a stream monitoring system for two streams feeding the reservoirs, and a control system that ensured water quality of the reservoirs would not be significantly affected. The monitoring system provided a hard copy of turbidity, conductivity, and pH levels for NYSDOT to document the construction as well as traffic impacts (or in this case, the lack of impacts) on the water supply.
