MADBURY ROAD COMPLETE STREETS PROJECT UPDATE - Traffic Pattern Modifications Beginning June 17

A full closure of Madbury Road from Bagdad Road to Garrison Avenue is scheduled to begin on June 17 for approximately two weeks. This closure is necessary to replace the main sewer trunk line along this segment located within the center of the roadway. Durham Public Works strategically scheduled this closure to occur once the ORCSD closed for summer recess to avoid transportation conflicts for students. Concurrently, to facilitate Phase 1 Roadway and Drainage Improvements, Madbury Road will remain open for Northbound traffic only between Pettee Brook Lane and Garrison Avenue beginning June 17 with the pattern remaining in place through the Fall. (See more on all Madbury Road improvements further down)

During the two-week period of the partial closure, Southbound traffic will be route to Edgewood Road and ultimately Main Street to reach Downtown locations. Northbound traffic will be detoured on Woodman, to Dennison, and ultimately Bagdad Road. Please follow the posted signs. Access to businesses within the project limits will remain OPEN at all times.

The Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s office is happy to announce that Durham’s 2024 Top Dog is Lily Demarest (owners Lara and Frank Demarest).  

Lily is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever, born in Vermont on October 10, 2013, and came home to Durham with the Demarest Family shortly after. Lily has a passionate personality; she’s adventurous and curious, loving, energetic, and will always let you know if she is unhappy with the quality of your petting by a nudge of her snout or a side-eye glance over her shoulder. 

Lily’s two favorite things are food and lots of attention. She is people-oriented and thinks anyone she encounters wants to pet her. The Demarest Family can set the clock by Lily as she never fails to let them know when it’s dinner time and has been known to beg and steal a snack or two. She enjoys being outside, taking in the sun, playing in the snow, swimming, and going on walks in the woods, (if it is not too hot). She also enjoys lazy days with lots of naps. 

Lily and her family will receive the Top Dog award and a gift basket donated by the Durham Town Clerk-Tax Collector at the Town Council meeting on July 15, 2024, at 7:00pm. Congratulations to Lily and the Demarest Family.

The Durham Top Dog raffle was created to motivate and remind dog owners to license their pets every year by April 30th. Residents automatically register for the Top Dog raffle when they obtain a dog license before April 30th. Winners are selected by a computer-generated application, which selects a dog license number at random. If you missed the deadline and still need to obtain your dog’s 2024 license, please contact the Durham Town Clerk’s office 603-868-5577.

UPDATE OF PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF MILL POND DAM ON OYSTER RIVER – NHDES Wetland Permit Application Comments Received

The Town of Durham continues project planning to remove the Mill Pond Dam on the Oyster River (also referred to as the Oyster River Dam at Mill Pond) and to improve habitat for anadromous fish. The proposed work will include the restoration of the Oyster River channel upstream of the dam and invasive species management in the drained impoundment area. A planting plan has also been developed to improve post-construction aesthetics while the project area revegetates. The project is funded by more than $4.0 million in state and federal grants.

A Standard Dredge and Fill Wetlands Permit Application was submitted to the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) February 9, 2024 for the proposed work. Comments from NHDES on the application were received on Friday May 10, 2024. Per Wetland Permit Application Rules, the Town has 60 days to respond back to NHDES. The Town and its consultant VHB are currently reviewing the comments

This review will ensure that this project complies with all applicable state and federal environmental regulations related to wetlands and streams. Permitting through the NHDES Shoreland Program will also occur for impacts proposed within the 250-foot Protected Shoreland of the Oyster River, beyond the limits of Mill Pond.

Among the numerous ecological benefits, this restoration project will improve upstream fish passage, restore the natural functions and values of the Oyster River, increase habitat diversity, and allow tidal flow to extend farther upstream. Extensive coordination with various parties (such as the NHDES, US Army Corps of Engineers, NH Natural Heritage Bureau, NH Fish and Game Department, NH Division of Historical Resources, Durham Conservation Commission, and many others) has been crucial for the permitting process and will be ongoing throughout construction.

Plastic containers that hold plants and flowers are not recyclable locally and should not be put in curbside bins or brought to the Durham Transfer Station for recycling.

 So, what to do with all those empty plastic plant containers? 

Instead of throwing plastic plant containers in the trash, consider the following options:

*Gardener’s Supply Company located at 64 Breakfast Hill Road in Greenland is hosting a Plastic Pot Take Back Day on Saturday, June 22 from 10am-2pm.

*Home Depot recycles the plastic pots that hold flowers, plants, bushes and trees. At all Home Depot Garden Centers nationwide, customers can bring back their empty pots for growers to refill.

*Lowe’s also accepts plastic planter pots and cases in their garden center for recycling. Bring your items in, follow instructions at the recycling center or garden center and Lowe’s will take care of the rest.

*The Durham Swap Shop accepts plastic plant pots and has them available for residents to reuse.

Why take the extra step to return your plastic plant containers?

Recycled plastic containers can recover upwards of 60% of the energy tied to initial product processing. Reusing plant containers cuts back on the demand (and energy needed) to make new pots and keeps unnecessary waste out of our landfill.

Recently, several of Durham Public Works’ Division’s team members responded to a small water main break on Davis Avenue near the Edgewood Road intersection. Excavation activities and a subsequent investigation determined that a cracked bell and spigot connection on the 6” cast iron main was to blame. The repair was complicated by the presence of other buried utilities in the vicinity including a 30” reinforced concrete culvert pipe. UNH/Durham Water System customers on Davis Avenue, Adams Circle, Fairchild Drive, and Rocky Circle were without service for 5 hours as the team worked to repair the pipe segment.

Durham Public Works’ contractor, Severino Construction, Inc. is nearing completion on the Madbury Road over Littlehale Creek culvert rehabilitation project. An extension of the culvert and headwall reconstruction on the downstream side of the conveyance and in-road stormwater collection system upgrades was completed this Spring in preparation for a roadway shift during a later phase of the Madbury Road Complete Streets Project. During the next week, bituminous asphalt will be applied to disturbed roadway surfaces and a UV-cured in-place pipelining system will be installed to reinforce the structure of the culvert.

Concurrently this week, Severino began construction on the Edgewood Road over Littlehale Creek culvert. The existing pedestrian bridge was removed along with the bituminous asphalt road surface. A temporary sewer bypass system was installed to divert flows around the project site during construction. Over the next week, the team will work on excavating close to 1,200 yards of material to expose the existing culvert. To facilitate the complete replacement of the structure, Edgewood Road will remain closed in the immediate vicinity of the project through September. 

Durham Public Works and its contractor, Joseph P. Cardillo and Sons remain hard at work on utility construction. Close to 650’ of new McWayne Ductile iron pipe has been installed from Madbury Court to Garrison Avenue.

The phase 1 utility project involves the replacement of water distribution and sewer collection mains and laterals. The base bid includes 8” water main, water appurtenances, and water service replacements on Madbury Road from the intersection of Garrison Avenue. Also included is sewer main replacement from 47 Madbury Road extending Southerly to Garrison Avenue, and sewer main replacement and rehabilitation from Mathes Terrace South to Main Street, inclusive of temporary and permanent pavement patches, and turf restoration. 

Additional work extends the water and sewer main replacement onto Madbury Court. This work includes the replacement and upgrade of the existing undersized water main, water appurtenances, water services, sewer mains and services, road reconstruction, and turf restoration. Also included is bid alternate B, which is subject to available funding, and adds additional water main replacement on Madbury Road from the intersection of Maple Street South to the intersection of Davis Court, and sewer main replacement at 57 Madbury Road.

MADBURY ROAD ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS – Phase 1

Durham Public Works and its contractor, G.W. Brooks & Son, Inc. will begin the phase 1 roadway, streetscape, traffic calming and drainage improvements portion of the Madbury Road Complete Streets Project on June 17.

This project will include the construction of stone masonry walls to support the installation of a varying width 8’-10’ wide multi-use pathway on the Eastern side of Madbury Road, reconstruction of other sidewalks, installation of decorative lighting for the corridor, installation of traffic calming measures, inclusive of bump outs at three pedestrian crossings, and landscaping and hardscape improvements. Test pitting to determine the elevation of existing buried utilities and the delivery of stone for the retaining walls occurred over the past week in preparation for the project.

UNH Employee Jamie Walther captured the photo above of a snapping turtle patiently waiting to utilize a crosswalk on Pettee Brook Lane this week. The turtle safely navigated the crossing thanks to Durham Public Works Team Member Nick Bennion and a passing Unitil employee.

UPDATE ON RESTORATION OF BICKFORD CHESLEY FARMHOUSE AT WAGON HILL FARM

Milestone Construction, the Town’s construction manager for the Historic restoration of the Bickford-Chesley Farmhouse at Wagon Hill Farm, continues to develop sub-contractor restoration cost estimates as part of the pre-construction phase. The restoration scope will be consistent with the U.S. Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (2017).

The Town was fortunate to receive a Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) grant in the amount of $286,600. This grant funding, along with previously approved Town capital funding, will allow the first phase of construction to begin in the near future which includes, foundation repairs, exterior restoration, complete rehabilitation of the first floor, moisture mitigation, HVAC and life safety improvements.

 The construction contract will be structured with Milestone as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), allowing the Town to develop project scope and specifications within the existing project budget while pursuing additional funds for out-of-scope work and future phases.  

AUTOMATED SOLID WASTE COLLECTION UPDATE

Durham Public Works is continuing the advance the program requirements for upcoming transition to Automated Solid Waste and Recycling Collection expected to occur in the spring of 2025. 

The project team completed the necessary submittals to the NHDES consistent with the requirements of the awarded Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant which provides supplemental funding of up to $723,000 or 45% of the cost (whichever is least) for the procurement of battery electric solid waste and recycling collection vehicles and DCFC chargers. Recent updates from the NHDES indicate grant approval documents will be placed on the Governor and Council (G&C) agenda for a late June meeting.

The project team has also completed the necessary draft rewrite of Chapter 118 Solid Waste Ordinance required for the implementation of the new automated collection program, along with additional programmatic changes. The ordinance is proposed to be reviewed over the next 30-60 days with the Integrated Waste Management Advisory Committee (IWMAC) before introduced to the Town Council for review.  

Following approval, Durham Public Works will begin the procurement of collection vehicles and residential collection carts which, depending on lead times, could potentially allow for a phased implementation of the standardized cart collection. 

Durham Public Works’ Traffic Control Division remains hard at work on refreshing traffic paint markings along public rights-of-ways. Traffic Control team members Tom Macaione and Harrison Graham are seen in the photo above applying paint to the markings at the intersection of Mill Road and the Mill Plaza. The division will focus on completing crosswalks over the next few weeks before shifting its focus to refreshing the 100’s of sharrow markings.  

Durham Public Works’ Highway Division continues to progress on roadside vegetation management program activities. This critical program efficiently manages vegetation through the use of a specialized mulching head operated from the division’s rubber-tired excavator. Roadside mowing helps to improve visibility and safety for multi-modal transportation and pedestrians by improving sightlines. Further, properly managed vegetation helps to ensure that drainage conveyances remain free of obstructions, and it can allow more sunlight to reach the roadway reducing ice formation during the winter months. The Team focused on areas of Wiswall Road, Tall Pines Road, and Kelsey Drive this week. 

UNH/DURHAM WATER SYSTEM MAIN FLUSHING COMPLETE!

The UNH/Durham Water System, under the direction of Durham Public Works Chief Operator Dwight Richard, completed hydrant flushing activities last week.

Over 200 hydrants were operated over a two-week overnight period to help keep the water distribution piping clean and ensure the delivery of high-quality water to system customers.

The process involves opening hydrants to create a higher flow velocity which scours the insides of the nearby pipes, stripping them of accumulated debris. 

Durham Public Works’ Fleet Service Division led by Mike McCrillis addressed several major mechanical failures on two of the Department’s three solid waste collection vehicles this week. An antifreeze leak on truck SW-1 required a complete replacement of the radiator and a hydraulic leak on truck SW-3 required an intricate replacement of several conveyance lines underneath the equipment’s power plant. The Solid Waste Division worked tirelessly to separately complete each route on Thursday by 6:00 PM utilizing the only functioning truck.

Over the past weekend, officers with the Durham Police Department, along with officers from throughout the State of New Hampshire participated in the annual Special Olympics held at UNH Cowell Stadium. Officers participated as judges, coaches and awarded medals to Special Olympians. The Special Olympics games began with a lighting of the torch followed by a police cruiser parade. It was hard to determine who had more fun, the Olympians or the police officers!

On Thursday of this week, William deVeries, on behalf of the Active Retirement Association, presented to the Durham Police Department a $100.00 donation.   The Durham Police will pay it forward and donate the $100.00 to the Special Olympics, an organization that is near and dear to the law enforcement community. On behalf of the entire department, we thank Mr. deVeries and the Active Retirement Association.

Officer Zachary Barthel, of Greenville, NH, was sworn in as a Durham Police Officer on June 3, 2024. Officer Barthel graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2024 with a degree in Homeland Security. While at UNH, Officer Barthel was enrolled in the Army ROTC Cadet program. Please join us in welcoming Officer Barthel to Durham.

On Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Fire Chief Dave Emanuel was awarded the prestigious Silver Beaver Award by the Daniel Webster Council of Boy Scouts of America.

The Silver Beaver Award is a distinguished service award presented by the Boy Scouts of America to adult leaders who have made an exceptional impact on the lives of youth through their outstanding service to Scouting at the local council level. The award was introduced in 1931 and is the highest recognition a council can bestow upon its volunteers.

The local council chooses recipients of the Silver Beaver Award based on their noteworthy service to the Scouting program, which can include leadership, dedication, and contributions to the overall development of youth in their community.

Dave has been involved in Scouting for 45 years, first as a scout and later as a leader. He strives to network and leverage Scouting and emergency services connections on the local, state, and national level to build relationships and promote education, training, and professional development to benefit both the culture of the fire service and for youth involved in Scouting. He is passionate about creating a positive learning environment.

The ceremony was attended by Dave’s wife, Maria, and children, Cole, Graham, and Elly, as well as Dave’s parents, Fred & Kathy Emanuel, and his mother-in-law, Betty Bamberger.

Congratulations Dave!

Producing a diverse set of high-quality crops is a keystone component to the success and sustainability of many small and medium-sized New Hampshire farms. Another component is informed decision-making for capturing new marketing opportunities, such as the gaining popularity of radicchio—a colorful and bitter leafy vegetable popular in Italian cuisine—among restaurants and retailers in New England. With a potential for spring and late-fall production, average sales prices of $3–$6 per head and high levels of vitamin K sought out by consumers to support heart and brain health, Granite State farmers may be deciding whether to add radicchio to their crop mix. Scientists with the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station (NHAES) are aiding this decision through their research examining which radicchio varieties perform best in northern New England's varied climate and how planting date impacts performance of this increasingly popular and valuable crop.

“Radicchio is becoming very trendy among chefs and local foodies so there’s been an explosion of interest in the crop,” said Station scientist Becky Sideman. “However, it’s been little studied, especially in the Northeast, and it’s a crop that’s highly variable and easily impacted by weather and climate. It’s performance here may be very different from where it is more commonly grown commercially, in the Pacific Northwest.”

“Because of all these factors,” she added, “it’s challenging for a farmer in New England just to begin growing it without information on best-performing varieties and ideal growing conditions – making it an ideal crop to study.”

The study was led by Sideman, professor of agriculture, nutrition and food systems at UNH’s College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (COLSA), with support from COLSA research scientist Lilly Hartman and undergraduate student Ella Lukacz. In addition to conducting the study at UNH’s Woodman Horticultural Research Farm, the team’s partners at the University of Maine conducted the same study at UMaine’s Highmoor Farm. Together, they grew and observed over 30 cultivars of radicchio and examined how planting date impacted the weight and marketability of the radicchio heads.  

The study identified the Chioggia type and varieties as having high marketability and resilience to disease—making them ideal choices for New England farmers. The data also indicated that planting radicchio in the third week of June maximized the harvest window, which may allow growers to simplify harvest operations.

The Chioggia type is the one most familiar to most U.S. consumers, with heads that are solid, round and frequently red (depending on variety). In this study, several Chioggia type varieties— including Indigo, Leonardo, and Perseo—experienced relatively little bolting (or premature flowering) and tip burn and consistently produced over 80 percent of marketable heads. Radicchio varieties within the Treviso type, which forms heads shaped like romaine hearts, showed great variability. For example, the variety Spring was quite susceptible to bolting, while the variety Caravaggio stood out for its bolt resistance in both 2022 and 2023. Within the Sugarloaf type, Virtus produced large heads and was more uniform than Nettuno. Varieties within the Lusia and Rosa del Veneto types were delicious but susceptible to problems, such as bolting and rot (for the Lusia types) or were slow to mature (for the Rosa del Veneto types).

Because the study took place over an unusually dry 2022 growing season and a wetter-than-average 2023 season, the research team was able to observe how varieties responded to very different challenges commonly experienced by radicchio growers, including rot, bolting and tip burn, a disorder that leads to browning leaves and dead leaf tips. The team observed that some varieties were affected more than others by the seasonal variation. Added Sideman, “We observed more bolting in 2022, and more rot in 2023 – as you’d expect given the weather conditions. And it was exciting to see that some varieties produced quite good yields in both years.”

The research team plans to conduct further experiments in 2024 and beyond to address additional questions, such as how the rate and timing of nitrogen application affects marketable yields and how cold temperature exposure and maturity at harvest impact color development and post-harvest storage. This ongoing research is part of a broader project led by Sideman and supported by the NHAES examining several varieties of specialty crops, including seedless table grapes and hydrangeas for regional cut-flower markets, as well as production systems and practices for high-tunnel grown tomatoes and overwintering of strawberries and cold-climate figs.
