EDA hears that Eagle Point will require massive soil correction; developer risk emphasized
Presenters said the gravel‑pit site will require flipping and compaction of about 4 million cubic yards and import of 500,000–1,000,000 cubic yards of new fill; board members and staff emphasized settlement times, clay lining for lake features and the high financial risk developers face.

Project representatives told the EDA that the Eagle Point site — a former gravel pit with depths of 70–80 feet — will require extensive remediation and engineering before homes or buildings can safely be built. Mr. Kursky (Speaker 6) said the site would need to be 'flipped' (turning and recompacting roughly 4,000,000 cubic yards) and that the project anticipates importing between 500,000 and 1,000,000 cubic yards of new fill to achieve structural stability.
