West Shenendoah Drive Detention Basin The Township of Howell has received a grant to retrofit the existing detention basin on West Shenendoah Drive with an artificial gravel wetland system as part of the Barnegat Bay Initiative program. This basin retrofit is designed to help remove nitrogen from stormwater runoff through microbial/biological action. This project is being preformed as part of the effort to reduce the total nitrogen that flows to the Barnegat Bay and limit the negative effect on the aquatic life and vegetation in the Barnegat Bay and the Barnegat Watershed. The gravel wetland system will contain a below ground gravel area for stormwater, located within a plastic liner. The top of the gravel system will be covered with topsoil and planted with vegetation that will help remove nitrogen from the stormwater runoff which flows to the basin. This system will cover approximately one half of the existing basin area. There will be no change to the stormwater collection system (storm drains) within the surrounding roadways. Construction is on-going and is anticipated to continue for the next 3-4 weeks. B. MONMOUTH COUNTY LEAD PROJECTS 1. Brook Road Bridge Reconstruction Total bridge replacement is underway. The detour is still set up utilizing Arnold Boulevard / Ramtown Greenville Road. Tentative completion of the project is scheduled for December 2012.
