The project included highway, stream, wetland, large gas pipeline and railroad crossings. Borings with casing pipe were used to cross State Highways and the Rochester & Southern Railroad.

The key to receiving the Project of the Year Award was that this large project was constructed on time, within budget and with a minimum of problems. This was accomplished in part by the fact that regulatory agencies and major utility companies were made part of the design and review process from the project inception.

Lu Engineers prepared the Map, Plan and Report for the Benefit Area Formation, the Type I Environmental Assessment Form, the Agricultural Notices of Intent, and the Water Supply Permit Application. We also prepared permit applications for construction such as wetland permits, water quality certification, highway work permits, stream crossing permits and the railroad crossing agreement.
