This project is on the EIP 5-year list.

• Scenic Resources
  Existing utility lines will be undergrounded
• Soil Conservation
  The proposed project would include restoration of approximately 2 acres of SEZ habitat along the northern portion of the project site adjacent to the United States Forest Service parcel and Burke Creek. The fill in this northern portion of the project site, originally placed over the SEZ when the airfield was constructed in the 1960s, would be removed to reestablish wetlands and SEZ habitat adjacent to Burke Creek. The eastern portion of the abandoned ditch on the northern border of the project site would be filled to assist with rehydrating the restored meadow;
• Vegetation Preservation
  After removal of the fill and restoration of the ditch, the restoration area would be planted with native plugs and riparian vegetation and all disturbed areas would be seeded with a native wetland seed mixture and mulched.

• Water Quality
  Surface runoff will be captured in a series of catch basins and roof runoff collected in dripline infiltration trenches would be directed to underground infiltration galleries. Runoff from driveways and parking areas would be pretreated via water quality treatment vaults. The proposed project would greatly reduce the pollutant loads from runoff compared with existing conditions. The reduction would be achieved through a reduction of approx. 99,052 sf of coverage, landscaping with improved infiltration capacity and installation of BMPs
