This project will generate approximately 35,000 cubic yards of soil that will need to be exported. Based on the need for fill within two other areas of The COR, the plans incorporate provisions for the Contractor to place the excess fill in those areas after installing erosion control measures (silt fence) and stripping the existing topsoil to expose the underlying granular material. This base material will be tested and compacted, and the imported fill will be placed in specified lifts that will be compacted and documented. The area south of Sunwood Drive and east of Zeolite Street was identified as one of the sites for the excess fill. This site will take approximately 6,000 cubic yards. Bringing this site to grade will accomplish two things. It will address a concern raised by the Minnesota Department of Health about the area around the municipal well being depressed and holding water. It will also make the site more marketable. The fill will also be placed in the Municipal Plaza recreational area of The COR north of Sunwood Drive and west of Center Street. Excess fill will be stockpiled north of the project on City owned land for use elswhere in the COR.
