These included a housing complex, aquatic center, explosives research and testing facilities and a ballistics testing site. The EAs included an evaluation of the impacts of the project on water and air resources, stormwater pollution, energy conservation, wetlands, endangered species and historic structures. The EA identified all permits required to build the project including Stormwater Management, Water Discharge Permits, and Wetland Permits.

Wetland Assessments and Erosion Control Plans - ECI completed wetland assessment of 8 sites and delineation of wetlands on 5 sites being disturbed by the installation of a water supply system. ECI also prepared Soil Erosion Control Plans and flood zone maps to comply with State and County erosion control requirements.
