Brownfield Cleanup

A prior landfill was to be used for the development of a large combined cycle power plant. A Budget of 2.5 MM was allocated for the initial investigation and cleanup of the site. The first step was to set a grid to identify the hot spots on the site that required further investigation. This was done by setting up a grid and perform core samples of each grid.

A Brownfield cleanup plan was submitted to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Once it was approved the remediation of the site began. The total cost for the initial remediation was $700,000 a savings of over $1.5 MM.
