Description:
In accordance with the agreement between the Town of Jericho, the Chittenden County Regional
Planning Commission (CCRPC), and Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. (Hoyle, Tanner), this Final Design
Report has been prepared to synthesize previous deliverables and to provide 100% Design Plans for
development of two stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the Town Green located
in Jericho Center. Preparation of this report was funded through a Design Implementation Block grant
from the Vermont DEC Clean Water Initiative Program administered by the Mount Ascutney Regional
Commission and through funds from the Town of Jericho. The following general purpose and need
statements has been developed based on our initial meeting with Town and CCRPC Staff in 2019.
Purpose
The purpose for this project is to provide stormwater treatment for the Bolger Hill Road area and aid
in the reduction of erosion that is currently occurring along Bolger Hill Road and to reduce the
sediment accumulation at its intersection with Jericho Center Circle.
Need
The need for the project is to reduce the gravel, which comes from Bolger Hill Road, that gets washed
into the Town Green and abutters properties after large storm events. The Town would like to
improve the water quality in this area through the construction of Best Management Practices
(BMPs) within this project.
Goals
The Goal of the project is to develop 100% Design Plans and Engineer’s Estimate of Probable
Construction Costs for delivery to the Town and CCRPC.
A Drainage study was completed by Hoyle, Tanner in January 2020 and was titled Drainage Alternatives
Study, Bolger Hill Road Drainage Improvement Project, Jericho, Vermont (see link in Appendix A).

Description:
The scope of the Bolger Hill Drainage Scoping project was to provide engineering services for the advancement to conceptual design (25%) of the Alternative #4 Design presented in the January 2020 Bolger Hill Road Drainage Alternatives Study. This project builds on that previous study that investigated drainage issues and evaluated improvement options for Bolger Hill Road in Jericho. A survey was conducted, and conceptual plans were drafted to more accurately develop a cost estimate for improvements to Bolger Hill Road. Further design aspects of the Bolger Hill Drainage Scoping project conceptual design are noted below. The Jericho Center Circle SW BMP Design project is not discussed further in this Design Narrative.
The purpose of the project is to provide a roadway and drainage alternative that reduces the erosion
that is currently occurring along Bolger Hill Road and to reduce the sediment accumulation at its
intersection with Jericho Center Circle. The need for the project is to reduce the gravel, which comes
from Bolger Hill Road, that gets washed into the Town Green and abutters properties after large storm
events. The Town would also like to improve the water quality in this area.

Description:
In the Vermont communities of Essex and Essex Junction sidewalks, driveways, and intersection crossing infrastructure may be deficient, with ADA ramps, deteriorating sidewalk or pathways creating travel impairments, and signalized intersections that may not meet these requirements. State and federal laws and regulations require local governments to ensure that people with disabilities have full access to civic life within their communities. The purpose of the Assessment of Critical Non-Compliant Sidewalks, Paths, and Crossings is to assess, analyze, and develop a prioritization list of improvements to sidewalks, driveways, and intersections at identified study focus areas within the Town of Essex and Village of Essex Junction, Vermont.
