Little Goose Water
Treatment Feasibility Study
The Little Goose Water Treatment Feasibility Study is a study being conducted
by Sheridan County to determine the feasibility of providing wastewater
treatment service in the Little Goose valley south of the existing Sheridan
city limits. The project was awarded to EnTech Professional Engineers of
Sheridan in June, 2008 by the Sheridan County Board of County Commissioners.
EnTech's subconsultant on the study is HDR, a worldwide consulting engineering
firm that has tremendous experience in wastewater collection and treatment
throughout both the Rocky Mountain area and worldwide. HDR has performed
several wastewater projects for the City of Sheridan in recent years.

ROAD & BRIDGE PROJECTS UPDATE
Jan 5, 2010
Chloride Treatment
SR&B and their contractors
applied 3,865 tons of chloride on 189 miles of county roads in 2009. This
process not only prevents dust but more importantly it preserves the County's road surface material. It can cost
over $50,000 per mile including the crushed base cost to place a 6 inch lift of
crushed base compared to $5,000 a mile to treat the same mile with chloride.
Cottonwood Bridge
This project is currently on hold
due to a lack of funding and an estimated cost of over $1,000,000.00 dollars to
properly install a bridge across the drainage.
SLIB GRANT 2005
Thompson Creek Rd
The Clear Creek bridge project has
been completed and will allow work for the Thompson Creek Road to
proceed. Work on this road is scheduled for fiscal year 11/12. Work
will consist of culvert replacement/extensions, linear grading, and crushed
base placement.
SLIB Grant Projects 2006
Dutch Creek Road/ Dow Prong Road
SR&B has placed a 6" lift of crushed base on 6.9 miles
of Dutch Creek Road. The second lift (3") on 9.5 miles will be placed during the construction season
for 2010One mile of Dow Prong Road still needs a second lift (3") of
crushed base material.
Lower Prairie Dog
There are not any major projects
scheduled on this road for the next fiscal year other than chloride application.
SR - Buffalo Creek Road
The culvert project was
completed in September 2009 for this roadway. This work will allow the
district operators to move forward with grading projects as their schedule
allows.
Clear Creek Bridge
The replacement of the Clear Creek
Bridge was completed in November of 2009.
Downer Addition County Road 80
EnTech Inc. is finalizing the design
for this project and securing construction ROW.
SLIB Grant Projects 2008
Beaver Creek Road
This project consisted of cleaning
borrow ditches and placing a 4" lift of crushed base from the south end (Big Horn end) of
the road to the entrance of the J.C. Pit. The project was completed in October
2009.
Soldier Creek Road/Keystone
Road
The realignment of these two roads
was completed in August of 2009.
East Ridge Road
This project is currently in the
design phase by the Sheridan County Engineering Department.
Upper Powder River Road
A 3" lift of crushed base was placed on
7 miles and treated with calcium chloride in August of 2009.
Pass Creek Road
A contract for the crushing of
70,000 tons of crushed base was awarded to McMurry Ready Mix Company in
December. This work is scheduled for June of 2010. The Sheridan County
engineering department has started a preliminary survey of the grading work for
the 7 miles from X-X hill to the state line. Grading operations are scheduled
for the summer of 2010.
CMAQ09
Upper Cat Creek Road
The district operator along with a
hired contractor has completed the linear grading for this project. This work
was done to widen the road, improve drainage, improve line of sight and in
general improve the safety of this road. The contract for supplying and
delivering crushed base to the job site will begin advertising in January 2010.
The WORK is scheduled for August 2010.
High Risk Rural Roads
Lower Prairie Dog Road
This project is for the improvement
of line of sight for approximately 0.5 miles north of the intersection with
Beatty Gulch Road. The project will consist of 20,000 cubic yards of excavation
for reduction of the vertical curve and improving the horizontal curve. The
project is scheduled for fiscal year 10/11. The grant will also cover the cost
of installing additional warning signs for the entire length of the road.
Beckton Road
This project is for the improvement
of the line of sight on Beckton Hill (approximately 0.25 miles) and the
installation of additional warning signs. The project is scheduled for fiscal
year 10/11.
GRAVEL PITS
Rhodes Pit
Plans are currently on hold for this
pit.
Kusel Pit No. 3 / J.C. Ranch Quarry

both of these pits. SR&B will haul material from both of these pits to
various roads.
