A slip developed on CR 44- Buck’s Lake Road, adjacent to the Middle Branch of the Shade River.  The method of repair was to construct a rock toe at the base of the slope and build a rock fill.  This solution both stabilized the slope and provided erosion control along the river bank.  All work was performed by Athens County Engineer employees.  CR 44 is classified as a “Federal Aid Route”, so the source of funding was the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Emergency Funding.  FHWA paid 80% reimbursement of the construction cost or $35,855 to the Athens County Engineer’s Office.
