CDW
is conducting ongoing assessment, risk analysis, and remediation of several
parcels within a 7.5 acre section of the City of Worcester for potential
redevelopment for commercial and industrial re-use. CDW initially conducted a
site-wide Preliminary Site Assessment, to determine historical uses and
previous ownership, operations, and compliance records. Based upon thorough
research, CDW designed an efficient subsurface testing program for soil,
groundwater, and surface water. When the testing results were received, the
parcels were re-defined as individual sites for the purpose of strategizing
further work and redevelopment options.
Several of the parcels required additional comprehensive testing
programs in order to evaluate risk of harm to human health, welfare, and the
environment from the types of contaminants found. In addition, targeted remediation was
conducted at two of the parcels to remove isolated pockets of contamination
that could not remain in place during construction. The site area was formerly part of a larger
metals manufacturing plant, and contaminants found included volatile organic
compounds, heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated
biphenyls. CDW worked closely with the Worcester Business Development
Corporation under aggressive deadlines to finish site work to allow for
flexible redevelopment scheduling. The project is ongoing. |
