In other cases, streams have meandered in a way that hinders, threatens, and could eventually inhibit access to the infrastructure.
It is intended for the selected consultant to provide evaluation (Phase 1), design, permitting, bidding services and construction-related services at DCo-selected outfalls along various creeks.
