Mohawk Valley Materials, Inc. (MVM) is fulfilling the Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, requirement for clearing Yellow Creek along the Upper Cumberland River basin located in Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky.

MVM is responsible for all materials, labor and equipment needed in order to restore flow capacity of flood protection channel by removing sediment buildup and vegetation from the upper reaches of the channel which currently reduces flow capacity of the system.

Manner of Execution
Codorus Creek is a tributary to the Susquehanna River that spans across 42 miles of York County, PA. The existing flood protection wall along Codorus Creek between Penn Street bridge and Tyler’s Run was constructed in the 1940s and was deteriorating at several locations, posing a threat to neighboring communities. USACE contracted with Mohawk Valley Materials, Inc. (MVM) to replace the Penn Street Floodwall. MVM demolished the existing flood wall and constructed approximately 600 linear feet of new floodwall extending west from the south abutment of the Penn Street Bridge to the Tyler’s Run tributary to Codorus Creek. The project included the driving of over 3,000 LF of steel H-piles and management of lead-contaminated soils. MVM mechanically dredged stream channel sediments and disposed of them offsite. MVM completed all work in accordance with detailed specifications and plans. MVM self-performed all work with the exception of the floodwall construction. MVM provided qualified key personnel with required certifications and experience to manage the Contract, including preparation of over 300 project submittals, and management of the schedule, budget, and scope.
We received the following testimonial from the Corps regarding our performance on this project: “Mohawk Valley Materials demonstrated the ability as a newly graduated small business to manage and construct critical features of work for the betterment of public infrastructure.

The overall scope of this project was for Mohawk Valley Materials, Inc. (MVM) to provide a geosynthetic liner system on part of the upstream slope and crest of Jadwin Dam.

Excavation and placement of existing riprap and installation of new riprap was required. MVM completed 27,100 CY of riprap excavation from the face of the dam, excavated 27,120 CY of subgrade, installed 12,690 SY of highly textured geomembrane and 8,830 of textured membrane, 31,000 SY of geotextile, 9,210 SY of geogrid, 275 CY of concrete anchor trench, and placed 9,000+ CY of aggregate and 19,000 CY of soil. MVM modified 18 existing piezometers and installed four new piezometers; modified existing settlement and horizontal pipes; modified/demolished a USGS gauge shed, replaced 80 tons of full-depth bituminous pavement, and seeded and restored the site upon completion of earthwork. MVM prepared all pre-construction submittals to the satisfaction of USACE and submits submittals through RMS. MVM utilized Primavera to maintain the cost-loaded project schedule, which was reviewed with USACE weekly. MVM provided oversight through qualified Project Superintendent, SSHO and CQM who worked onsite at all times throughout the duration of the project.
We received the following kudos regarding our overall performance on our CPARS provided by the Corps: “The contractor has been great to work with.
