Name of project: Heritage Park Phases 1 and 2 <br />Description: <br />As part of the new Heritage Park development, a series of sediment basins, ponds and <br />forbays were created as a means to filter stormwater before it entered the Mississippi <br />river. This unique and innovative design incorporated the use of native vegetation as an <br />integral element of the system. A combination of upland, mesic, wetland and aquatic <br />species were used throughout the project area. <br />Once the infrastructure was created by the excavators, we were left to work with freshly <br />excavated soils. The soil was lightly tilled and raked to prepare the seed bed. A diverse <br />seed mix was sown throughout the entire project area and then covered with erosion <br />blanket. Approximately 50,000 native plants were installed in the various microhabitats <br />throughout the project area. Our. crews have been actively maintaining the site since the <br />completion of the installation utilizing techniques such as spot herbicide application, spot <br />mowing and prescribed burning. <br />Name of client: City of Minneapolis <br />Location: Minneapolis, MN <br />Contact: Jeff Lee, Barr Engineering, Senior Ecological Planner <br />Phone #: 952-832-2904 <br />
