12-Story Brownfield Redevelopment
Remedial engineering and construction support for a Brownfield Cleanup Program site impacted by chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) from former dry-cleaning operations, enabling 12-story mixed-use development.
Project Overview
Envicon Group provided remedial engineering and construction support for a Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) site impacted by chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) associated with former dry-cleaning operations. The project required comprehensive soil, soil vapor, and groundwater remediation to enable the construction of a 12-story mixed-use building.
The Challenge
The site was impacted by CVOCs in soil, soil vapor, and groundwater from former dry-cleaning operations. Remediation needed to be carefully sequenced with building foundation and basement construction while meeting NYSDEC BCP requirements under DER-10 guidance.
Our Solution
Envicon's team implemented an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) soil excavation targeting multiple Areas of Concern to depths consistent with redevelopment plans. The team coordinated waste classification sampling, disposal facility approvals, and material handling requirements, integrating remedial excavation with building foundation and basement construction sequencing.
