General Notes:

Project working hours will be from Monday to Friday between 07:00 and 18:00 and Saturday 09:00 to 18:00, except holidays.

Neighbors in Woodlawn Village should expect elevated levels of noise as well as increased vehicle traffic during the construction period. There will be an increase of activity outside of the construction fence lines as equipment and materials are delivered.

Inlet Protections

We’d like to thank residents for their patience and notifications regarding stormwater drainage issues in the neighborhood. As part of the requirements build new homes for service members in Woodlawn, the construction team has installed inlet protections at all stormwater sewer drains.

These inlet protections are required under the construction permit to prevent illicit discharges of sediment into our storm sewer system and waterways for all construction projects throughout the entire installation. Exceeding the amount of sediment put into the stream systems can have negative environmental impacts as well as result in permit violations, increased regulatory oversight, and stricter requirements in the future.

While these inlet protections do have some ponding after heavy storms, this is normal and they should draw down within a day or less in most cases. If you have specific concerns about stormwater ponding near inlet protections, please contact the Woodlawn Community Management Office at (703) 781-0566.

Residents can help facilitate this work and ensure quality and safety for everyone by:

Not entering the site access gates.

Avoiding the controlled work zones and honoring the construction fence lines.

Large trucks will be required to perform work, please watch for trucks, equipment, and construction personnel.

Ensure that any pets kept in backyards cannot escape and enter the project site throughout the course of construction.

Work performed during this period will include:

Sitework

Stormwater management

Wet utilities

Pouring concrete footings
