Vegetation Removal of the Nashua Levee
The City of Nashua Division of Public Works invites qualified vendors to submit a proposal for the
removal of vegetation along a rip-rap area located on the Merrimack River — Right Bank Flood Damage
Reduction Systems, known as the Nashua levee system.
|. Background
About 1948, The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) constructed a levee system to protect 70 low lying
areas at the confluence of the Nashua and Merrimack Rivers. Once constructed, the City became the
owner of the levee system with the USACE retaining the right to inspect and regulate the operation of
the system. Recent inspections of the levee system has identified a need to remove unwanted
vegetation from the rip-rap slope of the embankment and bridge abutment and the concrete floodwall
areas as shown on Figure 1 and 2, respectively.
