15-Day Public Notice - Interested parties are hereby notified that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District (USACE) is evaluating plans under 33 U.S.C. 408 (Section 408) to allow the City of Fitchburg, MA to replace two existing stormwater outfalls with larger stormwater outfalls along the North Nashua River adjacent to 166 Boulder Drive in
Fitchburg, MA. One outfall was constructed as part of the federally constructed North Nashua River Local Protection Project that was designed to improve flood flows through Fitchburg and reduce flood risk. The federally constructed outfall is an 18-inch-diameter outfall that penetrates a federally constructed floodwall and will be upsized to 24 inches in diameter by enlarging the opening through the existing wall. The second outfall is an existing 18-inch-diameter stormwater outfall that penetrates a dry-stacked stone wall along the bank of the improved North Nashua River channel within the Nashua River Local Protection Project. The outfall will be upsized to 60 inches. The stone wall was not federally constructed, so the federal interest is limited to verifying that the outfall structure does not encroach on the federally improved river channel and impede flood flows. The proposed project is part of a larger effort to separate combined sewer overflow from stormwater flow to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPEDS) Permit requirements. |
