Context 1.Background 2.Charles P. Nelson Home 3.Partnership with IDNL and NPS
Background
IDNL established in ,000 acres 2 million visitors/year “preserve for the educational, inspirational, and recreational use of the public” Ecosystem restoration of the built environment 750 homes originally Reservation-of-use permission Majority to be removed/destroyed
Charles Nelson Home Mutual interest Historic building Requires research permit Uninhabited Non-functional windmill on site
Partnership Onsite Interviews of stakeholders and park personnel Collaboration with local groups To be established Special Event invitations SCI-Great Lakes Workshop on Civic Engagement Opportunities in Vacant Land Repurposing
Constraints Use Research resident dormitories Historical site Comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties Deliverable due date Condition of home and property Budget Spatial Short term research
Deliverables 1.Special Use Permit 2.Rehabilitation Plan 3.Senior Design Proposals
Special Use Permit Submitted Allows access to restricted area Interview Stakeholders on site Take measurements
Rehabilitation Plan Persuasive Building Use Proposal Dorms Proposed Preservation and Rehabilitation Plan History LEED Proposed Environmental Plan Energy Waste Financial Plan Statement of Management Qualifications Economic and Expertise Partnership Agreement Proposed Lease Terms and Conditions

Wastewater Treatment 1.Constraints 2.Wastewater Treatment Systems 3.Ideal Secondary Treatment 4.Secondary Treatment Options 5.Treatment Economics & Maintenance
Constraints Economics Maintenance Environmental Costs
Wastewater Treatment Systems Integrated Septic Systems Primary Treatment in Septic Tank Low maintenance Provides 70% of treatment Conventional Secondary Treatment Absorption fields Dispersion fields
Ideal Secondary Treatment Environmental Friendly Low Cost of Operation Minimal Maintenance Pollution Control
Secondary Treatment Options Absorption/ Dispersion fields No pollution control for organics, nutrients, or bacteria Clogging Problems Constructed Wetlands Native or Adaptive Vegetation Filters Pollutants Naturally filters organics, nutrients, and bacteria
Treatment Economics & Maintenance Septic Tank High Construction Costs Low Maintenance Constructed Wetlands Construction Costs are 50-90% less then Conventional Systems Regular Inspections & Care of Vegetation
