Indiana Dunes National LakeshoreCharles Nelson Home The Dunes Team • Patrick Brown • Andrew Johnson • Alex Kampf • Benjamin Kepchar
Agenda • Stakeholders • Context • Constraints • Deliverables • Alternative Energy • Wastewater Treatment
Stakeholders • Purdue University • Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore • Judy Collins, Historical Architect • Joy Marburger, Research Coordinator • Mike Bremer, Chief Ranger • Stephanie Purcell, Administrative Assistant • Liz McConnell, Administrative Officer • Future Residents • EEE and EAPS
Context • Background • Charles P. Nelson Home • Partnership with IDNL and NPS
Background • IDNL established in 1966 • 15,000 acres • 2 million visitors/year • “preserve for the educational, inspirational, and recreational use of the public” • Ecosystem restoration of the built environment • 750 homes originally • Reservation-of-use permission • Majority to be removed/destroyed
Charles Nelson Home • Mutual interest • Historic building • Requires research permit • Uninhabited • Non-functional windmill on site
Partnership • Onsite Interviews of stakeholders and park personnel • Collaboration with local groups • To be established • Special Event invitations • SCI-Great Lakes Workshop on Civic Engagement Opportunities in Vacant Land Repurposing
Constraints • Use • Research resident dormitories • Historical site • Comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties • Deliverable due date • Condition of home and property • Budget • Spatial • Short term research
Deliverables • Special Use Permit • Rehabilitation Plan • Senior Design Proposals
Special Use Permit • Submitted • Allows access to restricted area • Interview Stakeholders on site • Take measurements
Rehabilitation Plan • Persuasive • Building Use Proposal • Dorms • Proposed Preservation and Rehabilitation Plan • History • LEED • Proposed Environmental Plan • Energy • Waste • Financial Plan • Statement of Management Qualifications • Economic and Expertise • Partnership Agreement • Proposed Lease Terms and Conditions
Rehabilitation Plan • Alternative Energy • Wastewater Treatment
Senior Design Proposals • Energy • Windmill • Solar Panels • Efficiency • Water • Waste
Alternative Energy • Use 36 font for this text
Wastewater Treatment • Constraints • Wastewater Treatment Systems • Ideal Secondary Treatment • Secondary Treatment Options • Treatment Economics & Maintenance
Constraints • Economics • Maintenance • Environmental Costs
Wastewater Treatment Systems • Integrated Septic Systems • Primary Treatment in Septic Tank • Low maintenance • Provides 70% of treatment • Conventional Secondary Treatment • Absorption fields • Dispersion fields
Ideal Secondary Treatment • Environmental Friendly • Low Cost of Operation • Minimal Maintenance • Pollution Control
Secondary Treatment Options Absorption/ Dispersion fields Constructed Wetlands Native or Adaptive Vegetation Filters Pollutants Naturally filters organics, nutrients, and bacteria • No pollution control for organics, nutrients, or bacteria • Clogging Problems
Treatment Economics & Maintenance • Septic Tank • High Construction Costs • Low Maintenance • Constructed Wetlands • Construction Costs are 50-90% less then Conventional Systems • Regular Inspections & Care of Vegetation
