The project <br /> includes installation of a below-grade sheetpile wall to <br /> isolate river water from the leachate collection system, <br /> - which is located at the downslope limits of the Landfill. <br /> The Public Amenities Master Plan project, the subject of <br /> this report, is the city's third major effort. The contiguous <br /> open spaces, pedestrian and bicycle trails, wetlands and <br /> wetland buffers, and riverside access are integrated by <br /> this project into a vital, comprehensive new urban district. <br /> Utility corridor with leachate collection system Site Analysis <br /> parallels rail line. <br /> The Public Amenities project planning began with a site <br /> analysis of existing conditions. Issues of site hydrology <br /> and habitat enhancement had been the subjects of previous conceptual studies, and members of the <br /> public were particularly interested in the site's potential for improved fish habitat. A thorough wetland <br /> delineation and topographic survey, an analysis of the riverbank conditions, a geotechnical <br /> investigation, and a storm drainage and utility assessment refined the basis for the planning effort. <br /> Specific information on this background data is referenced in the discussion on technical reports below, <br /> as well as in the Appendix. <br /> j Inncnemwir r 's'. <br /> fre"''"' 3 <br /> -� <br /> 17.44".' <br /> t ti <br /> "falai <br /> Site analysis plan. <br /> Technical Reports <br /> Several technical reports became the background for the Public Amenities Master Plan. Chief among <br /> them is the private developer's Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), published June 6, 2008, <br /> which addressed the whole of the Riverfront Development site. Among the most significant of the <br /> documents supporting the FEIS is the Snohomish Riverfront Properties at Bigelow Creek: Final <br /> Conceptual Enhancement Program prepared for the city of Everett by The Watershed Company, <br /> August, 2005. The Shorelines Public Access Study and other studies previously completed support and <br /> inform the Public Amenities Master Plan. <br /> Subsequent site data collection included additional wetland mapping, geotechnical investigation and <br /> evaluation, drainage analysis, and thorough topographic surveys to provide checks on the assumptions <br /> and conclusions of the 2005 conceptual enhancement study. Lastly, an addendum to the FEIS, <br /> scheduled for completion in 2010, will address the features proposed in the Public Amenities Master <br /> Plan, and provide a summary of technical reports generated throughout the planning process. <br /> 12 Riverfront Development Public Amenities Master Plan <br /> 49 <br />
