Project Scope

Key tasks include:

Handling and disposal of hazardous materials (PCBs, mercury, asbestos, lead-based paint) are specified.

This also includes soil testing, stormwater management facilities, and storm sewer piping. Detailed drawings specify accessible parking layouts, crosswalk striping, signage, and tree planting, with an emphasis on matching existing historic stone wall aesthetics.
