Backfilled and compacted all culvert excavations within the project area. Dewatered several problem areas because of thawing ice lenses to enable significant construction performance.

Constructed containment dams to hold water saturated muck.

Deepened and graded the trench at the south side of the upper parking lot to allow the flow of water from the vicinity.

Constructed embankments across wet and swampy ground choosing such methods of embankment construction and used hauling and spreading equipment that least disturbed the soft foundation.
