Vermont Studio Center Floodplain Restoration Project - Final Design Engineering

The Vermont Studio Center is seeking a proposal for the final design engineering of the floodplain restoration project. The project aims to restore natural floodplain conditions and enhance the stream buffer along the banks of the Gihon River. The proposed 0.4-acre floodplain restoration project would take place adjacent to a pollinator garden and walking path with a gradual slope leading down to the Gihon River. The project would slow the velocity of the river and provide more flood storage capacity during future flooding events. • The project would entail removing existing fill and riprap as well as reducing the gradient of the current riverbank. • The project would provide more flood storage capacity during future flooding events. • The project would slow the velocity of the river. • The project would enhance the stream buffer along the banks of the Gihon River.
