We are aware that the East 40th site supports oak and Douglas fir forest, an open meadow, and other plant communities that provide habitat for a variety of birds and other wildlife. Neighbors have indicated that preserving natural areas and habitat are among their top interests for the site.
To better understand and address the potential environmental impacts of this project, EWEB is contracting with the consulting firm DOWL to conduct an ecological study at the site. The study will identify sensitive habitat and species and help inform the tank design and landscaping plan to preserve and protect sensitive species during construction and restore
the site to enhance the habitat afterwards.
COMING SOON: NEIGHBOR QUESTIONNAIRE
As part of DOWL’s preliminary research, neighbors will be invited to share their observations of unique or highly valued wildlife and habitat features on the property. Watch your inbox for a questionnaire from DOWL.
