t PLYMOUTH AVENUE PARKS AND RECREATION AREAS I IN VOLUSIA COUNTY I HIGHLIGHTS: ■ Reuse of closed landfill site ■ Tree preservation ■ Regional soccer field complex • FDEP permittingI I • Extension of public water supply • Secured dog park area ■ Topographic and grading challenges ■ Closed basin storm water management - system design I This project consists of two separate recreational areas located within the site of a now closed municipal landfill. The 85-acre landfill site is owned by Volusia County, Florida, and these two I recreational areas are under the administration of the county's Parks, Recreation and Culture Department. These two areas are at opposite corners of the property boundaries, and involve separate area design, permitting, development, and use. ECT worked jointly with Bellomo-Herbert, a landscape I architectural firm, and was responsible for all civil and environmental engineering, and associated permitting through state agencies. I The 14-acre Barkley Square Dog Park provides ‘ d ` . , areas for large and small dogs, as well as for 't -t . '-J ^ fi c ' training events. This area is heavily wooded and v rcikt, I contains a small, lined pond within the large dog • , lr • I 4i} w „rzo, area.

Site - improvements proposed on the surface of the • . Iclosed landfill area include five soccer fields. Proposed site improvements in the area adjacent to the closed landfill include a restroom building and associated septic system, parking areas, relocation and repaving of an existing road bisecting the Iproject area, and dry retention ponds for stormwater management, all in a wooded area with elevations ranging from 43 to 67 feet. Challenges included tree preservation, grading of both these wooded sloped areas and the flat surfaces required for the five soccer fields, and permitting these facilities within a Iclosed landfill area. This park area is currently awaiting construction. I Q CC%PROJECT PROFILE O ICIUSERNYAXGIAPPDATAU AT IMICROSOFIIWLNDOWSITEMPORARY LNTER.\ET FlIF_tICOVTEYT.UVILOORIOZNSG)QXCSU\'ISL-PRO/.000-0:3012
