East Potomac Park Temporary Fill Storage

Excavation for the East Wing Modernization Project at the White House will yield approximately 30,000 cubic yards of soil. There is interest in using this soil at East Potomac Park where some level of infill is planned as part of improvements to be made by the Golf Course lessee. The proposed action involves temporary storage and later reuse of clean fill on previously disturbed and maintained areas of the East Potomac Golf Course. The site has been continuously graded, mowed, and used for recreation for more than a century.

The proposed action involves relocating and reusing approximately 30,000 cubic yards of clean fill generated from the White House East Wing Modernization Project to East Potomac Park Golf Course, a long-established and previously developed landscape. The material will be stored and subsequently incorporated into ongoing golf course improvements within areas that are already disturbed, graded, and maintained as part of the existing golf course operation.
