This project was unique from the standpoint that the site had been an old landfill before its current use as a Maintenance Yard.  The landfill had never been formally closed and HRC was able to work with the MDEQ to secure an approval of the on-site handling of disturbed refuse materials, which were placed in a protected earthen berm.

The Wallaceville Yard Improvements project conssisted of the removal of an existing Maintenance Building that did not fit the requirements for the Wayne County personnel responsible for maintenance in Rouge Park.  The new Facility consisted of construction of a new 8,000 square foot Maintenance Building that housed offices, locker/restrooms as well as ample storage and maintenance areas for the staff to service and repair their equipment.

The Project also included site improvements with paving, landscaping and storage bins for landscape materials to be used in the park.  The site improvements also included a 500-gallon, Fireguard, aboveground storage tank to handle the maintenance equipmnet fuel needs and a wash slab area (with grit and oil/grease removal) to clean vehicles and other maintenance equipment.
