- Additional tasks may be assigned, as needed.

Secondary Responsibilities — Feasibility & Due Diligence Support Performed under the direction of the U.S.-based project team as workload and capability allow:

- Desktop zoning and ordinance review: permitted uses, setbacks, impervious coverage limits, parking and fueling-position requirements, and buffer/landscaping standards.
- Environmental desktop screening: FEMA flood zone mapping, NWI wetlands mapping, and NRCS soils review.
- Topographic and site-constraint analysis using public LiDAR, USGS, and county GIS data.
- Concept site layouts and yield studies, including truck circulation and turning analysis for travel center and fuel/convenience prototypes.
- Preliminary earthwork balance and concept-level stormwater detention sizing.
- Compilation of publicly available traffic count data (e.g., PennDOT, NYSDOT, NJDOT) to support site evaluation.
