DESCRIPTION

ARRO executed a three-phase plan that started from the ground up and included stormwater and wastewater solutions, as well as environmental considerations in this floodplain.

SCOPE OF WORK

Planning and design of a 24-acre municipal park

PROJECTS

Doubs Meadow Park

The Town of Myersville anticipated a need to design a new park for the enjoyment of its citizens. The vision called for the design of a 24-acre municipal park located within the floodplain of Little Catoctin and Middle creeks.

To efficiently proceed and to meet stormwater regulations, ARRO developed hydrologic and hydraulic models of the 34-square mile watershed and utilized an HEC-1 computer program to calibrate peak flows for various storm events.
ARRO also utilized HEC-RAS to develop existing and proposed 100-year floodplains and a 100-year floodway for the proposed 24-acre park at the confluence of Little Catoctin and Middle creeks.

The improvements for Phase I consisted of:

A new entrance to the park
State Route 17 grading, storm drainage, paving and pavement markings for widening
Grading, storm drainage and gravel for 100 parking spaces
Mass grading of ball fields
Sediment and erosion control
Seeding and mulching disturbed areas

The improvements for Phase II consisted of:

Paving the basketball court, walk/bike path
Installing 40 linear feet of CMPA culvert
Installing four baseball field bleacher pads
Hot mix asphalt parking lot paving
Signage, markings and related work

The improvements for Phase III consisted of constructing a new pavilion, furnishing and installing site lighting, minor grading, seeding and mulching of disturbed areas, and related work.

The big winners were the kids who received a big boost from the Wolfsville-Myersville Athletic Association. They were involved from the beginning and, with the additional cooperation of the town and ARRO, the Doubs Meadow Park is now a treasured community jewel. In addition, the stormwater management solution resulted in a beautiful wetlands that complements the shared space of the park.
