Deer Brook Gully Restoration, Georgia, Vermont
The Deer Brook watershed encompasses approximately 8.4 square miles in the towns of Georgia and Fairfax, and the brook itsefl was considered impaired by sediment. Stone, involved with the project since 2007, produced final designs for gully stabilization and restoration, as well as stormwater retrofit practices for the watershed. The upland restoration designs included four gravel wetlands, two catch-basin risers, and a series of off-line deep sump catch basins along US Route 7. The outlet and gully restoration designs included culvert upsizing and a drop manhole at the outlet, as well as stone step pools. These measures mitigate sediment loads from the watershed and the gully to Deer Brook.
