Stream Restoration Project Manager Wetland Studies and Solutions Inc. Engineering Director Frank Graziano, and Ecosystem Restoration Manager John Connelly, walked the Block 1-2 construction site with interested HCA Directors and Members at 10:00 a.m., Saturday August 20, 2016, and answered questions about the previously-approved project activities and three month schedule. During the week of August 15-19, WSSI also updated marking tapes on up to 94 HCA trees to be removed within the project area, less those already fallen or removed earlier for safety reasons. RA Senior Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Larry Butler and RA Watershed Manager Nicki Bellezza also attended. Updates will be posted here on the HCA website as necessary. UPDATES ... WSSI will start work from the south end near the HCA pond, and no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and no later than 9:00 p.m. as allowed by Fairfax County noise rules. Heavy equipment used during regular work hours will include a pump to move stream water around work areas that must remain dry. WSSI will not include the Vantage Hills portion of the original plan in this effort.
