The project includes the design, permitting and construction of a new storm water management pond, on City-owned property, north of the Ohio Turnpike, near Brandywine Creek.
During the course of design and review, ODOT identified that a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment (ESA) would be required to support their Environmental Clearance Report. A Phase 1 ESA is used to verify if any historical property uses have impacted the soil or groundwater beneath the property and could pose a threat to the environment and/or human health. This extra report was paid for through the project's original contingency amount of $3,600.
In addition, initial field review of the site originally identified that the project would avoid all wetland and stream impacts. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) conducted a follow-up, field delineation of the site this summer and determined that one of the site's drainage ditches should be classified as a jurisdictional stream that will be impacted by the grading of the project. Due to the stream impacts, additional USACE permitting will be required. The cost for the USACE permitting is estimated at $6,500. Any fees required for the permit application will be...
