As part of our Stream Continuity Program, DER offered two free trainings this spring on culvert replacement design. Public works staff members from 16 towns attended the training programs. Trainings where held in Brookfield and Boxford where DER is working with the towns on culvert replacement projects that serve as case studies and training sites. Each training covered components of the critical early phases of a culvert replacement project with the goal of saving towns time and money. The training was led by Brian Kelder, DER's Stream Crossing Specialist. DER will be offering more training opportunities this year (sign up for our Culvert Connection newsletter to make sure you get notice of these trainings and other key news for culverts).
