This invasive species information kiosk is
\npart of the upgrades at Million Dollar Beach.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The state Department of Environmental
\nConservation’s recent upgrade of the facilities at
\nMillion Dollar Beach on the south end of Lake
\nGeorge has earned recognition with three awards.<\/p>\n

The awards are:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Engineering News Record New York naming
\nof the project as Best Green Project for 2015. The
\nproject was highlighted in the Nov. 16 issue.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The American Council of Engineering
\nCompanies of New York (ACEC) New York)
\nawarded project engineer Barton & Loguidice
\na 2016 Diamond Award in the award program’s
\nEnvironmental Category. Diamond is the highest
\nlevel award given out to ACEC award entrants.
\nThe project is being considered for the award
\nprogram’s Empire Award, and is designated a
\nfinalist for ACEC New York in the ACEC national
\ncompetition.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Storm Water Solutions magazine chose the
\nproject as a Storm Water Solution 2015 Top Storm
\nWater and Erosion Control Project. The project is
\ncurrently featured in the November\/December
\nissue with national distribution.
\nThe state-funded $7 million project was the
\nthird in a string of similar projects along the
\nshore of Lake George and included innovative
\nand creative methods to improve water quality
\nfor Lake George, incorporate and promote green
\ninfrastructure practices, improve pedestrian,
\nbicyclist, and motorist safety, reduce the spread
\nof waterborne invasive species, and improve
\nbeachgoer and recreational boater access, said
\nBarton & Loguidice in a new release.<\/p>\n

Stormwater control is a prime concern for
\nLake George water quality. The design includes
\nseven different water quality and run-off control
\nfeatures which provide diversion, infiltration,
\nretention, and pre-treatment areas. The project
\nincludes three acres of heavy duty porous asphalt,
\na bio-retention system in the center of the new
\nroundabout, an underground detention and
\ninfiltration backup system, vegetated infiltration
\nswales, pre-cast porous concrete, a hydrodynamic
\nseparator for non-porous areas, grassed and
\nvegetated pre-treatment, rain garden areas and
\nLED lighting.<\/p>\n

Barton & Loguidice said an invasive species
\ninformation kiosk and a two-direction permanent
\nboat washing station provide education and the
\nmeans to help provide invasive species protection.<\/p>\n

The project also improves traffic management
\nand circulation, introduces traffic calming with a
\nnew roundabout, provides ADA compliant access,
\neliminates multiple motor vehicle and pedestrian
\nconflict points, and promotes alternate modes of
\ntransportation. Improvements to the roads and
\nparking lots through the use of porous asphalt
\nand the other stormwater management features
\nwill help protect the water quality of Lake George.<\/p>\n

In partnership with DEC, Barton & Loguidice
\ndesigned a frost- and heave-resistant conventional
\nasphalt pavement structure system designed to
\nessentially eliminate potholes, heaving, and the
\nsurface cracking that plagues northeast roadways,
\nparking lots, and other paved areas.<\/p>\n

The project was completed under an accelerated
\nschedule encompassing the six-month
\ntourist off-season between September 2014 and
\nMay 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
