SPR-4926: Assessment of Culvert Sumping in Successfully Accomplishing IDEM Permit Requirements

This project aims to identify local culvert specifications, land use, soil and stream characteristics that can be used in making a sound decision on where to implement or not to implement culvert sumping alone as the sole measure to accomplish the proposed environmental or ecological goals of this practice. This project will deliver: (a) literature review and survey findings from neighboring states on culvert sumping implementation; (b) a database of all the sites selected in this study; (c) report detailing the scope of the study, methodology and results; and (c) a recommended procedure on how determine a location for achieving success with culvert sumping for Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) projects.
