CHA has been working at Corning Preserve since 2001 when we prepared the Phase 1 Master Plan. Our work continued
with design and construction of Hudson Riverway Pedestrian Bridge and Corning Preserve Amphitheater. In 2005, we
prepared the Phase 2 Master Plan for Corning Preserve. With more than a decade worth of experience at the preserve, we
have completed a significant data collection and engineering and environmental analysis. In supporting preparation of the
Phase 2 Master Plan, we can draw on the following information:
• Topographic Survey
• Pedestrian and Traffic Data

• Acoustical Study
• Hazmat Screening
• Phase 2 Schematic Design Drawings
• Boathouse Study
• Environmental Site Assessment
• Aquatic Habitat Impact Study
• Corps of Engineers Application (Preliminary)
CHA will provide engineering and environmental support. We will assist with testing of potential alternatives by
considering:
• Differing levels of traffic, water, sewer, and other utility improvements
• Potential permitting requirements
• Code consistency
• Potential impacts on the natural and man-made environments, adjacent properties
For the preferred Master Plan, we will provide engineering recommendations for:
• Needed infrastructure, utility systems (locations, segments, connections, rights-of-way and easements)
• Amphitheater improvements
