The city has a gem of a waterfront park along Melton Hill Reservoir that has yet to reach its full potential. The Planning Commission has a development plan for reversing the neglect. The Environmental Quality Advisory Board has a mandate from the City Council to recommend ways in which the city and the community can reduce our energy consumption and make this city a leader in protecting the environment and demonstrating state of the art concepts that protect and enhance our environment. The redevelopment of our waterfront park is a prime opportunity to showcase the city’s commitment to demonstrate that we are committed to the use of cutting edge technology and environmentally sound methodology for redevelopment of our public spaces. We should recognize that much of this sustainable technology and expertise is actually developed within our city. Thus, we have a practical and highly visible opportunity to demonstrate that Oak Ridge is an attractive, livable city with a sustainable future where quality of life is our most outstanding characteristic. Some of the opportunities that EQAB recommends to the council for the waterfront redevelopment project include: Use all native vegetation in landscaping for the redevelopment project. We especially encourage that native canopy trees be planted throughout the park. Trees will provide needed shade for park users and provide carbon sequestration. As the trees grow and develop they can be pruned to allow the river to be viewed. Control exotic, invasive pest plants along the waterfront, especially where they threaten native communities or rare plants. Do not allow landscaping with any plant listed as an exotic, invasive pest plant by the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plant Council ( HYPERLINK "http://www.tneppc.org/" http://www.tneppc.org/) Use porous materials for all parking areas, playgrounds, and walking paths. This will allow rainwater to percolate through the soil and reduce stormwater runoff from the area. Make landscaping water efficient - use of gray water. [I am not completely comfortable with this one. Being so close to the river would not allow much residence time in soil before water entered the aquatic environment.] All buildings constructed at the redeveloped waterfront should be designed and constructed using the principles of sustainability. Consider the long-term cost savings and benefits of using sustainable building methods and materials. Consider getting a LEED or similar rating. Use solar panels, use recycled/sustainable materials on the exterior and interior furnishings (recycled carpet, cork flooring and on walls for sound control, film on windows, highly efficient HVAC systems - consider shallow geothermal or use of river water, waterless urinal, gray water usage for irrigation. Vegetated roof. Use recycled materials for roofs of pavilions, park benches, sign posts, fencing and decking and posts for boat docks for rowing and associated activities. Create water features (wading pools, fountains) using river water. UV light disinfection can be used instead of chemicals. Have recycling containers throughout the park. Mandate no vehicular idling. The air at the park should be as clean as possible for all the people exercising. Idling wastes fuel and contributes pollutants to the local air. If vendors are allowed, require that their operations are sustainable and promote recycling/reuse. Provide drinking water throughout the park to discourage use of disposable water bottles. If night time lighting is necessary, make it energy efficient and protective of the night sky. Consider using "Full cutoff" fixtures that eliminate light emitted above the plane of the fixture.  Compared to an unshielded bulb, a full cutoff fixture saves half the  energy. Compared to a typical 400-watt "cobra-head" fixture,  a full cutoff fixture would save about one-third the energy. Switching to 90-degree cones would save about five-sixths of the energy compared to an unshielded fixture, and well over half compared to the typical cobra-head. Also, a 200-watt bulb is somewhat cheaper to buy than a 400-watt bulb. Use the marina area solely to support rowing activities and other compatible recreational activities. The only motorized water craft allowable within the waterfront area, whether vendor rentals or personally owned, need to be limited to electric, low speed, low wake vehicles The only exception to this will be those powerboats integral to rowing activities. The waterfront should be used to promote human powered craft (i.e., crew shells, sculls, canoes, and kayaks). Finally, we recommend that an advisory committee on the Sustainable Development of the Waterfront, work closely with the city to insure that at every phase of the development, the highest standards of sustainability are guiding and informing all phases of the park. Thank you very much.
