Project Description

BACTS is working to better understand the condition of local assets to help with capital planning decisions, strategically allocate limited funds, and pursue discretionary funding. While individual municipalities likely have data on their culverts, there isn’t a collective database that catalogs this infrastructure regionally. To address this, BACTS is now in Phase II of creating and maintaining an up-to-date, regional inventory of existing and planned culverts on collector and arterial roads in the Greater Bangor Urbanized Area. As part of this phase, a consultant is actively collecting field data on culverts throughout the region. This formal inventory will not only define the state of the system but will also incorporate climate projections that impact stormwater hazards.
