Ecological Restoration
Park
Students plant wild flowers
at the Fernald Ecological Restoration Park (7110D-10).
In 1998, DOE
and Fluor Fernald developed the Ecological Restoration Park as part
of the Operable Unit 4 dispute resolution agreement with U.S. EPA
for missing milestones associated with the Silos Project
vitrification facility. Located on the western boundary of the site
near Paddys Run Stream, the park is open to the public from dawn to
dusk. It includes a small parking lot, short trail, interpretative
signs and two overlook platforms, one that is accessible to the
handicapped. Fernald workers planted native trees, shrubs, grasses
and wild flowers, resulting in new habitats including tallgrass prairie, old field, hardwood forest, upland forest and
wetland vegetation.
