The MA Division of Ecological Restoration (www.mass.gov/der) is developing a state-wide program to help cities and towns replace failing or undersized culverts with structures that incorporate the new MA Stream Crossing Standards. See link below.  Research has shown that culverts meeting the stream crossing standards hold up better during floods, are more cost-effective for municipalities in the long term, and restore river health. Your response to this survey will help us shape this program and the type of assistance and materials we will offer.  

Your time and input are greatly appreciated. The survey should only take 5-10 minutes to complete. We would appreciate your response by June 25th, 2015. Please feel free to forward this survey to fellow road managers and community decision makers to spread awareness. Thank you!
