September 2011 Update

Type OGS Backfill
An explanation of type OGS backfill has been added to the Culvert Design section of the Design Website.  CON/SPAN culverts require type OGS (open grade subbase) backfill in certain areas around their culverts, so this explanation has been added to clarify any confusion.

New Jersey PE Continuing Education Info
A new document explaining the continuing education requirements for New Jersey PEs has been added to the PDH section of the website.  This is the same file that was e-mailed around by Joe Riley recently.

Bulletin 15 Link
A link to PennDOT's Bulletin 15 (aka Pub. 35) has been added to the top of the Design Website to make it more accessible since it seems to be a commonly used reference.

District 11-0 Best Practices
A link to the list of Best Practices for PennDOT District 11-0 has been added to the Client Links section of the website.  This is also something that was sent around by Joe Riley earlier in the week.
