| Partially
funded by a $200,000 EPA Brownfields Pilot Program grant, CDW provided
environmental site assessment services for several parcels of industrial
land and buildings owned by the Chelsea Redevelopment Authority which are
being redeveloped for commercial use. CDW performed a Preliminary Site
Assessment for a 70 acre portion under consideration for commercial
redevelopment. A Phase I Site Investigation was completed later on a 10
acre subarea under a strict deadline in order to facilitate negotiations
with developers on potential site uses.
Site contaminants included petroleum, chlorinated solvents, PCBs,
and heavy metals. CDW further prepared a Quality Assurance Plan for a Phase
II Comprehensive Site Assessment and risk characterization which was
approved by the U.S. EPA with minimal comments. CDW is completing the Phase
II and risk characterization to evaluate potential restrictions on
identified future site uses, and the viability of redevelopment options.
CDW also provided asbestos testing services to quantify demolition costs
for multiple site buildings. Due to health risks and costs involved in
encountering and excavating contaminated soils at the site, CDW recommended
that any building design should utilize a slab foundation. The
groundbreaking for construction of a major national hotel occurred on
schedule in September 1999. |
