ORNL Parking Structure Mitigation Report
Abstract
Approximately 200 feet of an unnamed tributary to Fifth Creek and approximately 0.08 acres of wetland were impacted as a result of the construction of a new parking structure at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) that was completed in Fiscal Year 2011. Compensatory mitigation, as per requirements set by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), included the following: • On-site expansion of an existing wetland (P2) by 0.04 acres adjacent to the new ORNL parking structure. • On-site enhancement and preservation of approximately 800 feet of First Creek (between White Oak Avenue and West End Circle), 400 feet of White Oak Creek (at Building 4515, the High Temperature Materials Laboratory), and associated riparian zones.
