NYCDEP Ashokan Reservoir Weirs, Bridge & Spillways

 Ulster County, NY

The Ashokan Reservoir is a reservoir in Ulster County, New York. The reservoir is in the eastern end of the Catskill Park, and is one of several in the region created to provide the City of New York with water. It is the city’s deepest reservoir, 190 feet (58 m) deep near the dam at the former site of Bishop Falls. The scope of the project is to increase the reservoirs capacity by removing and replacing the weirs, spillway and bridge while keeping the system continuously in operation. The conceptual phase involved the development of 46 different estimated options for the scope and scale of the project which will be condensed after DEP review down to 1 or 3 options to move forward to construction document phase of design.
