Crummy Culvert Contest

The Ashokan Watershed Stream Management is having a "Crummy Culvert Contest" to help them locate all the culverts within the watershed that wash out in the reoccurring floods. Here are the details.

Culvert Washed Out?

If your driveway culvert is washed out, you know that floods are no fun.
Help us find the culverts that need consistent replacement in the Ashokan Watershed. (The culvert has to be in the Ashokan Watershed).
You could also win a chance for an extreme culvert makeover or a pocket video camera or at least a "Crummy" T-Shirt.

The goal of the 2010 Crummy Creekside Culvert Contest is to identify the streamside culverts in the Ashokan Watershed that are:

Causing significant erosion above or below the culvert - particularly if the eroded soil is being carried directly into a stream.

A barrier to fish or other aquatic animals trying to travel along a stream or from one stream into another.
