About this solicitation

This project is along the Wild Branch along North Wolcott Road in Wolcott near/just north of the intersection of Heath Road and North Wolcott Road. Floodplain restoration, re-establishing a former flood chute, revegetation of the floodplain, and bank stabilization are all proposed measures to help restore the floodplain and reduce future fluvial erosion/ phosphorus loading. All measures would help protect the eroding stream bank as well as improve floodplain access and provide critical flood mitigation benefits. The LCPC has held past site visits and meetings with the DEC Rivers Program and the Vermont River Conservancy to support the development of this project. In 2020, SLR International Corporation conducted a Flood Mitigation Study along North Wolcott Road identifying this site as a potential location for floodplain restoration. In 2025, SLR updated the floodplain restoration concept design. This section along North Wolcott Road has been repeatedly damaged during flooding events causing streambank erosion. The Wild Branch stream channel along this stretch has migrated between 50-100 feet between 2020 and the end of 2023. Since 1995 the northern project section of the Wild Branch channel migrated 310 ft. Meanwhile in the southern project section the stream channel has moved 260 ft. A significant amount of this channel migration took place during the following flooding events: the 2018 ice jam and flood, the Halloween Storm of 2019, the July 2023 flood,and December 2023 flood. The most notable damage within the proposed project area was during the January 2018 ice jam. The ice jam and flooding caused a complete road washout and took out a utility pole near address 2082 North Wolcott Road. The North Wolcott Road was closed in this location for two weeks following the 2018 ice jam. The Wild Branch stream channel is currently undermining North Wolcott Road.
