Ashokan Century Program
The Ashokan Century Program is the largest public works project in the Catskills Region in over five decades.
This New York City Department of Environmental Protection project will upgrade nearly all critical infrastructure at Ashokan Reservoir, including the dam, dikes, chambers, spillway, and Dividing Weir Bridge.
AKRF is leading the SEQRA/CEQR Environmental Impact Statement and satisfying discretionary and non-discretionary permitting requirements for the $750 million program.

Informative and organized coordination keeps the work humming along
Our work requires exceptional coordination with four bureaus of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, four engineering design teams, and a large number of outside regulatory agencies and community stakeholders.
AKRF holds frequent programmatic coordination meetings to develop and refine the Reasonable Worst Case Development Scenario for the EIS, documented in a series of detailed technical memoranda.
