We have a trailer on-site with sprinkler heads that sprinkle water on the areas where trucks are traversing. This generally keeps the dust down. During long periods without rain we are utilizing a large tanker truck that will also sprinkle the site. Areas where no immediate activity is planned have been covered with straw to keep the dust down. Areas without scheduled activity in the near future have been seeded so that grass can grow and stabilize the earth so it does not contribute to the dust. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have also incorporated some new measures to control dust on the streets. First, we have extended the gravel at the construction entrances, well beyond the County/State requirements, to reduce the opportunity for mud to be tracked onto the adjacent streets. Second, prior to street sweeping we are watering the road to keep the street sweeper from stirring up dust. We will continue to monitor these efforts and make any necessary changes to keep the dust down. Understand that water cannot be used on roadways for cleaning purposes when the temperatures are near freezing. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Lane Closures: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As the work of installing the new storm line under Route 1 is being performed, there will be a work area established in Route 1 that will close off three lanes during non-rush hours. The three lanes of Route 1 (two northbound lanes and the center turn lane) will be closed periodically between the hours of 9am to 3pm to allow for the installation of the storm water pipe. Traffic will be diverted to a single southbound lane and a single northbound lane utilizes the lanes on the far west side of Route 1. The work plan has been approved by the State and all safety measures required by the State will be implemented. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Future Plans: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• One to two month look-ahead – <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Continue all of the above work but start an additional building to provide new retail to the area. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Start utility infrastructure throughout the east side of the site <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Two to six month look-ahead – <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Start additional retail buildings <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Start installation of a traffic signal at Van Buren St. & Rt.1 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Advance actual construction of the CSX Crossing <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Advance construction of the Hiker/Biker Trail <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Six to twelve month look-ahead – <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Start interior fit-out of Whole Foods <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Finish widening of widening of Route 1 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Opening of Gateway Park <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Work Hours: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Work activity will be taking place Monday – Sunday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. However, work on the State road will be restricted to 9:00am to 3:00pm during weekdays. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Contact Information: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For any construction related concerns, please contact Robert Lockhart of Capital Construction Consultants at 202-669-7157 or email at rlockhart@ccci-dc.com. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Harlow Solid Italic"'>Jessica<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Jessica E.
