<br />VIII. PROJECT TIME LINE <br /> <br />Preliminary engineering and environmental <br />Plans and Specifications <br />Bid and Award <br />Construction Phase <br />Close Out <br /> <br />90 days <br />120 days <br />60 days <br />180 days <br />60 days <br /> <br />From the award date of TxDOT funding agreement through close out of the project, an <br />estimated 18 months is required. <br /> <br />IX. PROJECT USE AND BENEFITS <br /> <br />The proposed project is a storm water sedimentation and pollution mitigation basin, to be <br />constructed in Wade Park, a City of Paris operated recreational site. The drainage basin <br />served by this project is approximately 86 acres. An estimated population of 5,500 is served <br />by this project. <br /> <br />There are three distinct benefits of this project. These include: 1) mitigation of storm water <br />pollution, 2) preservation and enhancement of existing recreational land, and 3) development <br />of a wildlife habitat area. <br /> <br />1. Construction of this project will improve storm water quality being discharged <br />downstream. A 35 to 50% reduction in pollutants is expected from this project. <br />Pollutants typical to storm water in this come from vehicular traffic and commercial <br />business. Pollution types include volatile organic compounds, hydrocarbons, <br />phosphorus, and metals such as zinc, copper and lead. <br /> <br />2. This project preserves the Wade Park site for recreational uses. During dry periods <br />of the year, the basin will be available for various recrel!tional purposes. Additionally, <br />the landscaping proposed will aesthetically enhance the park. <br /> <br />3. Planting of native shrubs and plants around the basin perimeter will enhance the area's <br />use as urban wildlife habitat. <br /> <br />4 <br />
