David Flick, Principal and Founder, announces that the firm has successfully completed Section 404/401 Clean Water Act permitting and KDWPT permitting for the Cerner West Campus office project in Kansas City, Kansas. The North Kansas City-based health care software developer is constructing a 660,000-square-foot campus to house 4,000 new workers. The first phase of the office project, a nine story 303,000-square-foot building, is scheduled to open by the first quarter of 2013. The building’s twin building would open in the first half of 2015. The two buildings will share a ground floor with a cafeteria, health/fitness center and other amenities.
Scientists at Terra Technologies consulted the owner and design team to achieve compliance with environmental regulations promulgated by the US Army of Engineers and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism.
Undeveloped portions of the subject site incorporate stream preservation and the improvement of habitat for two species of worm snakes regulated by the State of Kansas. A perpetual conservation easement was granted by Cerner Corporation to the Midwest Mitigation Oversight Association, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency organized to supervise the preservation of such habitat.
Because a portion of site infrastructure required disturbance to an existing stream mitigation site, credits were purchase from the nearby Stranger Creek Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank west of Bonner Springs, Kansas.
