US 24 Fort to Port

By only constructing a 2-stage channel along one bank, the Allen County Drainage Board is still provided access for maintenance of the legal drains. Replanting native vegetation was also proposed to aid in bank stabilization. The wetland mitigation site, adjacent to the Marsh Ditch stream mitigation site, consisted of two wetland cells planted with woody and emergent wetland vegetation. The project required continuous coordination with the USACE, IDEM, and IDNR to obtain an individual Section 404 Permit, individual Section 401 Permits, and multiple Construction in a Floodway Permits. In addition, American Structurepoint also worked closely with the Allen County Drainage Board to obtain the appropriate permits to construct the stream mitigation along the two designated legal drains.
