Complete the environmental assessments and permitting activities needed to advance the conceptual South Philadelphia Wetlands Park into final construction documents. Project will lay the groundwork for an innovative park that will feature restored wetlands set amidst disused pier structures in the heavily urbanized Upper Estuary of the Delaware River, which will offer a test bed for new ecological restoration techniques in a hardened and heavily modified urban waterfront context.
