The MARC Maintenance and Layover Facility project aims to support existing and expanded Penn Line operations at a Maryland Transit Administration controlled facility. It will provide essential storage for rolling stock and facilitate the transfer of maintenance and layover operations from Amtrak facilities. After evaluating five sites, the Prologis site in Edgewood, Harford County was selected for its low-risk hazardous materials profile and predictable development resolutions. The project is currently in the Preliminary Engineering phase, with plans to complete environmental documentation by Fall 2013.

Project History • MARC Maintenance & Layover Facility • Support existing and expanded Penn Line operations @ MTA controlled facility • Provide storage for rolling stock • Transfer maintenance & layover from Amtrak facilities • Site Selection Report – February 2012 • Evaluated five sites • Narrowed options down to two • APG • Prologis • Site Selected - 2012 • Prologis site (Edgewood – Harford Co.)
Project Overview • Why Prologis? • Property acquisition & low risk of hazardous materials • Traditional risks & challenges developing this site w/more predictable resolutions & schedules • Environmental Condition Report (ECP) for APG – Superfund site • Prologis is hydrogeologically upstream from APG site. • Have entered Preliminary Engineering (PE) Phase • Determine project Phasing • Develop Preliminary plans • PE concurrent with Environmental document
Prologis Site • Location: • North side of Amtrak (across from APG Site) • Part of a mixed commercial/ industrial facility • Zoned: • General Industrial District 64 acres • Urban Residential – 4 acres • Road Access: The Gap Drive
Preliminary Engineering Phase Creation of a site master plan Break project down into Phases Develop storage layout for first Phase No new interlocking on NEC Located between Magnolia & Wood interlocking Coordinate with Amtrak Determine new location for existing stormwater management facility May be possible to reforest some in this location 5
Project Schedule • September 2012 - Begin Preliminary Engineering & Environmental Document • Fall 2013 - Complete Preliminary Engineering & Environmental Document • Winter 2013/2014 – Begin Final Design
