220 PROPERTIES, LLC **PHOTOS**
Moorefield, WV

Project Cost: $580,000 – Currently – in – Progress

220 Properties LLC, is a commercial development project proposed for a tract of land in northern Moorefield, WV. The property totals 23.7 acres, with 20.8 acres of developable area and has an Un-named Tributary of Dumpling Run flowing south to north, directly through the middle of the tract. The attached photos show the overall site plan of the property being developed and the Relocated Stream Alignment, illustrating the entire reach of stream affected. Most of the existing stream is about mid-way between the COE Flood Levee Project and US Route 220.

It is proposed to relocate approximately 1,820 feet of stream with 1,540 feet of a newly constructed stream utilizing natural stream design. The relocated stream has been sized to pass a 100-year storm event. The stream will be mostly excavated, with some upper slope areas and the freeboard constructed from the cut material. The stream will be grass lined, with rip-rap placed in all bends.

Material cut from the new stream will be utilized to backfill and reclaim the existing stream channel, with excess material filled along side the top slopes of the new stream.

Permitting and infrastructure included obtaining Permits from the US Corp. of Engineers, West Virginia Health Department, a NPDES permit from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, a WV DOH Entrance Permit and others. Infrastructure included designing and permitting a sewer and water system, site layout and design and performing GPS static survey to develop a control network to support aerial mapping for topographic and planimetric mapping.

 

GEARY ASSOCIATES has completed hundreds of boundary and subdivision surveys over the years, located in many different counties of West Virginia.
