The Prairie Waters Project is a City of Aurora, Colorado, water supply project that includes a 34-mile pipeline, pumping stations, a new water purification plant, and a water campus. ERO assisted the city and the engineering team by completing numerous Phase I and Phase II site investigations on agricultural properties and proposed rights-of-way for either acquisition or easement. The site investigations were conducted on flexible schedules to accommodate varying property access and real estate transactions, and were completed in a timely manner so as not to delay the design progress. All investigations were completed to comply with ASTM Phase I and Phase II standards and guidelines.
