Ellen and all,
I understand that the decision to go forward with this project was made
about 2 years ago. At that time an environmental assessment was done
and the options were to do nothing, to do a wetlands
mitigation/restoration only, or to combine the second option with a
picnic area. The restoration with the picnic area was chosen.
Apparently, the environmental assessment was on the National Park
Service's Manassas Battlefield website back then. It was removed at
some point, but recently made available there again. Obviously, the
public comment period has long since passed. This is the web link for
anyone who wants to learn more about what is happening there.

Environmental Assessment at the bottom of the page.
You forgot to mention, Ellen, that the "long trailer car, with no name
on it" is landscaped with plastic flowers.
