DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS – ENGINEERING DIVISION
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
GEORGES CREEK – SHAFT: STREAM RESTORATION
INTRODUCTION:
Proposals are being solicited from qualified and experienced consultants to perform a) a
watershed and stream reach assessment; b) an alternatives analysis for potential solutions; and c)
a design for the recommended and accepted alternative that will restore approximately 3,500
linear feet of Georges Creek in the unincorporated area of Shaft, south of Frostburg, Maryland.
See Exhibits A-E as listed on Page 9 of this Request for Proposal.
The recommended design will demonstrate the most cost-effective option to achieve the Project
Goals and Objectives while maximizing credit in the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) model. Design deliverables will include Phase 1: Engineering Report; and Phase
2: Contract Plans and Specifications.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
A Stream Corridor Assessment Survey and Watershed Characterization Report were completed
for Georges Creek in 2001 as part of the Georges Creek Watershed Restoration Action Strategies
(WRAS) Plan, completed in June 2002 through a partnership of Georges Creek residents,
Allegany County, and Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The Stream Corridor
Assessment Survey assigns the proposed project area a “very severe” rating for “unusual
conditions”. The Report narrative mentions the very large lake (surface mine pit) and indicates
“the stream channel is dry and the mainstem of Georges Creek is several feet above the water
surface of the lake”. This site was the only site in the upper Georges Creek watershed assigned
this “very severe” rating. Notably, the 2001 Watershed Characterization Report identifies the
area of Winebrenner Run confluence as a “wetland restoration opportunity” due to existing
hydric soils.
Allegany County’s Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) Committee for the Chesapeake Bay
TMDL, in an effort to achieve milestone goals for stream restoration, maintains a Stream
Restoration Priority List (List). The subject reach of Georges Creek is identified on the List due
to the existing poor condition of the stream, as noted in the WRAS and more current site visits.
Specifically, urban watershed development and disturbances associated with surface and deep
coal mining throughout the watershed over many decades has caused this gradual reach of
stream to aggrade over time. The channel alignment is variable from one high flow event to

the next, causing erosion and sediment deposition. The 100-year FEMA mapped floodplain
encompasses an adjacent surface mine pit. Furthermore, the stream currently base flows into
the surface mine pit (see Exhibit C: Photos) where flow loss into deep mine workings and further
water quality degradation due to iron and acidity is highly suspected.
Notably, the Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Division of Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE) is undertaking a study titled “Upper Georges Creek Stream Sealing Project”
whereby stream flows will be monitored during the period of May to September 2015 to
determine points of stream loss into the underlying Hoffman Drainage Tunnel. This reach of
Georges Creek and the adjacent surface mine pit are highly suspected to be points of stream
loss. The Hoffman Drainage Tunnel was built in the early 1900s to drain groundwater from the
deep coal mines of a 10 square mile area surrounding Frostburg. The Hoffman Drainage
Tunnel still discharges to Braddock Run in the unincorporated area of Clarysville, east of
Frostburg, today. The results of this AML flow loss assessment are to be available by November
2015 and will be considered in proceeding towards the construction phase of this Georges CreekShaft: Stream Restoration.
The flat grade in this area and variable alignment of the Georges Creek channel also leads to
issues with the existing Georges Creek Interceptor Sewer. Infiltration of stream underflow into
the sanitary sewer is highly probable. Furthermore, sanitary manholes on the line are inundated
during high flow events, causing infrastructure damage and allowing stream flow to enter the
sanitary sewer system. Maintenance access to the sewer line is more difficult due to the variable
alignment of Georges Creek.
The current condition of the stream misses an excellent nutrient processing opportunity as the
stream carries stormwater runoff from the urban area of Frostburg through the Georges Creek
valley. The proposed project has great opportunity to improve water quality both in terms of
sediment and nutrient processing, as well as prevention of thermal and mine working impacts.
PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
Goal #1
Enhance Nutrient Processing
In support of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL for sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus, improve
opportunity for nutrient processing through this gradual stream reach to reduce sediment and
nutrient load to lower Georges Creek, the Potomac River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.
Objective 1a: Re-define a stable, appropriately sized Georges Creek channel that will maintain
base flows and not aggrade or degrade over time.
Objective 1b: Provide floodplain connectivity to facilitate sediment deposition, provide
sediment storage and establish the water table to be in contact with the root zone
of a riparian buffer to promote denitrification.
Request for Proposals
Georges Creek – Shaft: Stream Restoration
Page 2 of 9
April 14, 2015
Objective 1c: Establish a riparian buffer to regulate surface water temperature, stabilize stream
banks, and provide nutrient uptake by riparian vegetation.
Goal #2
Address Sanitary Sewer Impacts
Address existing impacts to sanitary sewer due to poorly defined Georges Creek channel and
adjacent surface mine pit, specifically, the potential for inflow and infiltration.
Objective 2a: Re-define a stable Georges Creek channel that will be offset from the alignment
of the sanitary sewer to reduce infiltration into sanitary sewer during base flow
conditions and provide adequate maintenance access to sanitary sewer.
Objective 2b: Raise sanitary sewer manholes above 100-year floodplain elevation to reduce
inundation and inflow during flooding.
Objective 2c: Address whether lining or replacement/realignment of sanitary sewer is
warranted to further reduce inflow and infiltration.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
1. Phase 1: Watershed and Stream Reach Assessment and Alternatives Analysis
The Consultant shall perform an appropriate assessment of the watershed and stream
reach to develop a thorough understanding of the contributing factors to the existing
stream condition. The Consultant shall develop two (2) or three (3) viable alternatives to
achieve Project Goals and Objectives and compare feasibility, long-term sustainability,
and cost of each. Based on consultation/site visit with MDE, each alternative must be
permittable by MDE Nontidal Wetlands and Waterways Division. The Consultant shall
recommend one (1) alternative for design.
Deliverable: Engineering Report
An Engineering Report is to be prepared and submitted, which must include results of
the Watershed and Stream Reach Assessment, a discussion of the proposed Design
Methods for each identified alternative, and an Alternatives Analysis comparing
feasibility, long-term sustainability and cost, as well as other relevant items considered.
As part of the Engineering Report, preliminary design drawings for each alternative shall
be submitted for review.
The Engineering Report shall meet the requirements referenced above and also include
(at a minimum):
 Executive Summary
