TBTA – New Service Building at the Marine Parkway Bridge – MP-08

Environmental Planning & Management, Inc. as subconsultants to Gruzen Samton, performed a hazardous material investigation related to the construction of a new (expanded) service building and demolition of the existing service building.  The purpose of this environmental site investigation was to identify any environmental issues that may have affected soil quality and require further investigation or mitigation prior to or during building demolition and property redevelopment.

EPM also conducted a Phase I investigation to identify areas of potential concern to assist in the evaluation of further action.  A Phase II sampling program consisting of the collection and analysis of soil and groundwater sampling was performed at areas of concern and in areas proposed for excavation due to the removal and installation of new utilities and foundations.  Petroleum tank removal and soil excavation specifications were prepared.

EPM conducted an investigation of all suspect hazardous materials within the existing building.  Asbestos, lead, PCB and Mercury containing materials were identified, and remediation design documents were prepared.  At completion of final design, the project was terminated due to lack of funding
