The Rehabilitation Implementation Group (RIG) collects design data, prepares designs, awards contracts, and manages construction for bridge replacements, rehabilitation projects, gravel augmentation, riparian revegetation, flood plain creation, objective specific monitoring, and sediment management projects. The RIG performs all necessary realty actions and environmental permit requirements including environmental compliance. Contacts the public to address implementation issues such as obtaining borrow and waste sites, access agreements, and maintenance agreements.
