Work is expected to begin later this month, Walker said, and be complete in about two weeks.
Ramsay Excavating LLC of Ligonier was awarded a $71,284 contract for the project. Manor officials have been talking about the stormwater reduction project since 2019 as part of its approach to meeting requirements for storm sewer regulations, said Joe Lapia, borough manager.Ī streambank management project in Irwin is designed to reduce erosion along Tinker’s Run in Irwin Park, located off Pennsylvania Avenue, said Chelsea Walker, watershed program manager for the conservation district. In addition to installing the brick pavers that will allow water to infiltrate into the stone and soil, there will be new curbs and landscaping with shrubs.
The asphalt in front of the municipal complex was removed and stone spread over the parking area in preparation for installing pavers as part of a $169,000 project by KGD Contracting Inc. The state requires the recipient to provide a 15% match of the grant with either money or in-kind service, Bradish said. The stormwater reduction projects in Manor, as well as ones in Irwin and Derry Township, are being funded by the state’s Growing Greener grants, said Hank Bradish, a stormwater technician for the Westmoreland Conservation District. The new lot is designed to let stormwater soak into the ground rather than have it flow unchecked into storm sewers that empty into nearby Brush Creek. The former asphalt-covered parking lot at the Manor municipal complex on Main Street, which houses borough offices and the public library, is becoming an environmentally friendly site.
