Delaware Engineering assisted the Town of Delaware (Sullivan County) with site acquisition, site planning, permitting, design and construction of a new Town Highway Salt Shed. The old saltshed was undersized and partially located in the floodway of the Callicoon Creek. Relocating the facility was identified as a priority in the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.
The new 3,000-square-foot salt shed was constructed on a 4.4-acre former gravel mine. Delaware prepared a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and designed on-site stormwater facilities to treat the increased run-off and to prevent contamination of the nearby creek. These stormwater components included a dry basin and a bio-retention basin.
Delaware helped secure a $100,000 State and Municipal (SAM) Facilities grant, and a $394,000 Water Quality Improvement Program (WQIP) Salt Shed grant. The project involved coordination with and/or permitting by NYSOPRHP, NYSDEC and NYSDOT.
Initial site preparation was completed in 2019, and construction of the salt shed was completed in 2020.
Completed Project Cost: $1.25 million
