I-76 BRIDGE REPLACEMENTS AND PAVING
CDOT Region 3 in conjunction with the City of Brush and Morgan County replaced 11 bridges and conducted full depth paving within the I-76 corridor. The project which was constructed in two phases began in 2013 and ended in 2015. During the month of May 2015, prolonged heavy rainfall coupled with unsuccessful revegetation resulted in widespread erosion. CDOT initially used an organic fertilizer and humates to amend the poor soil conditions and after noting the low success rate, they decided it was time to look at other revegetation approaches. Arnolds Ag along with Triton Environmental worked together with Jennifer Gorek from CDOT to utilize a Biotic Soil Amendment systematic approach to provide quick and sustainable vegetative growth.

COAL BASIN
The Coal Basin project area is located in the White River National Forest, northwest of Redstone, Colorado. This regions’ geologic formations that lead to mass wasting coupled with coal mining operations since the 1800’s, has prompted the County of Pitkin to mandate restoration activities on previous surface mined areas. A combination of surface mined areas, haul roads, and refuse piles has augmented sedimentation into the Dutch Creek and eventual receiving watercourses such as Coal Creek and Crystal Creek.
