    NM ERFO FS SNTFE 2022-1(1)_Geotech Report_Sealed_Flat.pdf
    The Geotechnical Investigation Report for the El Porvenir Bridge Replacement in Montezuma, New Mexico, authored by Yeh and Associates, Inc., outlines the findings from a subsurface investigation conducted following the destruction of the original bridge by wildfire in 2022. The report presents details such as site conditions, proposed construction methods, geologic setting, and extensive subsurface investigation results through two borings. The evaluation revealed a mix of sand, gravel, and boulders near the surface, with consistent bedrock below. Recommendations for construction include the use of drilled shafts for bridge foundations due to their suitability for the site. Key considerations include proper site grading, fill material specifications, excavation safety, and drainage measures to mitigate groundwater effects. The report emphasizes compliance with AASHTO and FHWA guidelines while addressing seismicity and potential sulfate attack on materials, suggesting appropriate precautions for corrosion protection. Overall, the report aims to provide MGE Engineering with critical geotechnical insights for redesigning and constructing a robust replacement bridge over Beaver Creek.
    NM ERFO FS SNTFE 2022-1(1)_Hydraulic Report_Sealed_flat.pdf
    The "El Porvenir Bridge Replacement Final Hydraulics Recommendations Report" outlines the design and analysis for replacing a bridge over Beaver Creek in San Miguel County, New Mexico, following its destruction in a wildfire. The report, prepared for the Federal Highway Administration by DJ&A, P.C., addresses critical hydrological factors while ensuring compliance with FEMA regulations regarding flood zones. The bridge, vital for access to local camps, is designed to accommodate increased peak flow rates post-fire, projected to exceed historical levels for 1-3 years. The analysis involved comprehensive hydraulic modeling to evaluate both existing and proposed bridge conditions, ultimately determining that a 90-foot span is necessary to meet federal design criteria, including a minimum three-foot freeboard and consideration for debris blockage. The report also recommends implementing scour countermeasures to protect the bridge's abutments from erosion during significant flood events. Additionally, it suggests strategies for stream restoration to ensure long-term stability of the bridge's structural integrity. This document serves as a foundational resource in executing the project while adhering to federal and local compliance requirements for bridges in flood-prone areas.
