Epsilon is assisting the New England Aquarium in the implementation of its Master Plan.  Two phases of the Plan have been completed, including the IMAX Theater and an expansion of South Pier for public open space and Harborwalk enhancements around the Aquarium.  Permits were obtained from the local Conservation Commission, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, and the Department of Environmental Protection for each phase.

Epsilon provided permitting services for this high-profile mixed-use waterfront development project that spans over nine urban blocks in the South Boston Waterfront District.  The project includes office and residential uses, ground floor retail space, the new Institute of Contemporary Art, and a hotel to service Boston’s new convention center.  The waterfront permitting involved DEP’s Chapter 91 Waterways and Water Quality Certification programs, Boston’s Conservation Commission, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Office of Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management.

To accommodate construction of a new facility for the Institute of Contemporary Art on a parcel of Fan Pier on the South Boston waterfront, Epsilon worked with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to prepare and gain approval for an amendment to South Boston’s Municipal Harbor Plan.  Epsilon also provided permitting services for the project, which included submitting a Notice of Project Change to MEPA, a Notice of Intent to the Boston Conservation Commission, and a Chapter 91 Waterways License application to DEP.
