The new concept design consists of 7 project areas running from the upper valley water treatment facility to Dead Elk Pond at the bottom of the Wellington neighborhood. The design focuses on an overarching ecological strategy that integrates all 7 project areas into one functioning system combining remediation and recreational land uses.
On a larger scale, hydrological, ecological, and circulatory systems for recreation run through the entire site and are woven through the concept plans 7 project areas.
On a smaller scale, each project area consists of environmental and time-based ecological design strategies that incrementally build new habitat, vegetative communities, and biodiversity, while cleansing water and soil degraded from previous landscape activities.
Due to the construction logisitics of building the housing areas, the 7 project areas are broken into 2 zones: Lower site and Upper site. The Lower site consists of 2 project components and the Upper has 5 components.
