St. Michaels Nature Trail

St. Michaels, Maryland

RAUCH inc. is working with the Town of St. Michaels on a multi-use extension of the St. Michaels Nature Trail. Our scope of work for Phase I and Phase II of the extension included site investigations, preliminary concept plans, structural assessments, and feasibility determinations. We also provided assessment of environmental impacts including wetlands, forest, and critical area determinations, erosion and sediment control planning, stormwater management, slopes and grading. The project focus includes accessibility and multi-use features to accommodate both walking and biking.

The Town recently contracted our firm for Phase II of the project which will extend the existing 1.3-mile nature trail by another 1.25 miles. In Phase III we are providing soil borings, civil engineering, stormwater plans (ESD to the MEP), erosion and sediment control plans, permitting services, construction specifications, and 100% construction documents. This project has been funded by the Maryland Department of Transportation.
