The nature of the emergency consisted of a severe erosion hazard along an 800 lf. section of the eastern bank of the Ramapo River. The project area began 200’ downstream of the confluence with Crystal Lake and continue to approximately 600’ upstream of the Interstate 287 overpass. The cause of erosion along the eastern bank of the watercourse was a combination of seasonal storm events (including Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy), erodible soils, and changing stream dynamics as the Ramapo River attempted to reach equilibrium.
