ATTACHMENT B <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />Fredrickson Park <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />The Fredrickson Park site is a closed inactive landfill that accepted industrial waste for a thirty to forty <br />year period from the 1930's to the mid-1970's. Waste was reportedly dumped at the site on a sporadic <br />basis with no permits ever issued and no leachate collection or other engineering containment system <br />ever installed. No waste disposal at the site (other than isolated dumping of domestic trash by third <br />parties) has occurred for more than twenty years. <br />Loan proceeds will be used to remediate the site through construction of a soil cover that will be <br />installed over the waste to eliminate direct contact with the public. To minimize gas migration from <br />the facility, a gas collection and control system will also be installed at the site. The site will be <br />planted with grasses, wetland plants, and groundcover in addition to trees and plants in areas off the <br />cap. Following completion of the remediation activities, local funds will be raised to complete the <br />development of the park. The ultimate goal for the site is to construct the Fredrickson Park <br />Environmental Educational Center. The new park will be constructed on top of the capped landfill. <br />Structures, such as an amphitheater, a picnic pavilion and an education center will be constructed on <br />land adjacent to the landfill cap. In addition to these physical structures, other planned amenities <br />include the addition of constructed wetlands, walking paths and reforestation around the perimeter of <br />the landfill cap. <br />r P•: i (~ ~ e^:a <br />c ~~.~ o ~ ~oo~_,~ <br />._~ <br />otter ct~~a::, f ~. ~ ~, ;; ~. , , <br />
