Cleanup Planning. All Task 6 activities are conducted by Envirologic Technologies, Inc., one of the LCBRA’s two previously selected Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) firms. There were no cleanup planning activities this quarter. Final project work consisted of remediation activities. Modifications to the Work Plan: No modifications were made during this reporting period. Project Milestones: Remediation was completed for the final section of riverbank with contamination levels above Michigan’s Residential Contact Criteria, and a DDCC report was prepared and provided to the DEQ and the developer. DETAILED PROJECT STATUS This section provides status details for each Work Plan Task during the reporting period.
Cleanup Planning. This task includes staff and contractor costs for cleanup planning, including the development of an ABCA. This budget is broken down as follows:
Cleanup Planning. The EPA funded budget for the Cleanup Planning phase of this project was $30,000. The funds for this budget are allocated solely to contractual expenses and covered costs for the environmental consultant(s) time to conduct cleanup planning activities. Original Cleanup Planning Budget = $30,000 A total of three (3) of the six (6) assessed transitioned into the Cleanup Planning phase and those detailed expenses are listed as follows: Property 1: Old Xxxxx $ 5,278 Property 4: 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx $ 1,570* Property 6: 000/000 Xxxx 0xx Xxxxxx $ 33,955 Total Cleanup Planning Expenses $ 40,803 Over Budget Expense Amount $ (10,803) *Petroleum Site Budget Summary As we moved toward the end of the project and outcomes indicated Cleanup Planning was going to be necessary to assist in redevelopment of two (2) properties in Hazardous Substances we were able to transfer the remaining balances of funds from other budget line items to complete activities in Task 4 Cleanup Planning as shown below: Hazardous Substances Task 1 Project Management $ 14 Task 2 Community Outreach $ 955 Task 3 ESAs $11,735 Task 4 Cleanup Planning $(9,233) Total Remaining Balance – Hazardous Substances $ 3,471 In Petroleum Substances the ESAs budget was depleted prior to the end of the project with a new potential property owner requesting additional assistance in order to move forward with redevelopment, therefore; funds were moved from Community Outreach and Cleanup Planning to finalize the project with all budgeted funds being expended prior to closeout as shown below: Petroleum Substances Task 1 Project Management $ 0 Task 2 Community Outreach $ 4,079 Task 3 ESAs $(10,494) Task 4 Cleanup Planning $ 6,415 Total Remaining Balance – Hazardous Substances $ 0 Summary of Environmental Project Outcomes – Coalition Assessment Grant This project has had many and will continue to have positive impacts on the greater Moscow community.

Project outcome positive impacts in the environmental and public health areas have also had a direct impact on economic development and job creation in Moscow and Latah County. The anticipated project expectations listed below were met by various methods within the assessed site, depending upon the property, current and new owners, a...
Cleanup Planning. The ultimate goal for redevelopment is to provide potential site developers and/or other stakeholders with documents that quantify and qualify the environmental risks on a particular property. Subsequent to assessment activities, the City will develop remediation and cleanup plans on property(ies) determined to be the highest priority. These activities will include the development of an Analysis of Xxxxxxxxxx Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) by identifying potentially applicable remediation alternatives and estimating the nature, extent, duration, and cost of implementing site remediation activities. Data from Phase II ESAs in conjunction with any other data from environmental assessments available for the property(ies) will be used as the basis for evaluating potential remedial alternatives. ABCA(s) developed for properties assessed under this grant will be submitted to EPA and NCDEQ (for sites in their program) for review and approval. Also, the ABCA(s) will be public noticed for a thirty (30) day period with a public meeting being held during the comment period. If an ABCA is developed, it will include the following: • Information about the site and contamination issues (i.e. exposure pathways, identification of contaminants, contaminant levels and contaminant sources, source volume or other estimates as needed to compare relative costs between remedies); • Identification of the contaminants of concern. • A summary of Cleanup / protectiveness standards, applicable laws and regulations. • A description of the remedial alternatives considered. • Assessment of the effectiveness, ability to implement, and the cost of each alternative. As part of the evaluation of effectiveness, discuss whether/how each alternative would achieve cleanup / protectiveness standards and would comply with applicable laws and regulations. • A comparative analysis of the alternatives considered. • A selected or proposed alternative, noting any engineering controls that would be anticipated. As a part of the redevelopment planning, the City may hold one or two visioning or redevelopment workshops to gather community input on redevelopment options for selected properties. Properties selected for redevelopment will be based on reuse alternatives identified through public involvement activities. The City will compare the potential land uses with the environmental impacts associated with the properties and the steps required to redevelop the property. The level of remedial action can then d...
Cleanup Planning. This section provides an overview of the pre-cleanup planning process, which includes preparation of an Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA), followed by other planning documents.
Cleanup Planning. Providing remediation and redevelopment planning on selected properties will prepare the sites for cleanup and reuse and thus, help the region achieve growth management goals and the well-being of the targeted communities through improved health and safety conditions, growth in the local economy, additional local amenities, an increase in the awareness of brownfields, and more sustainable development opportunities. Connecting redevelopment opportunities with interested developers will help move these sites more quickly from assessment to sustainable redevelopment
Cleanup Planning. At the time of the original contract, it was unknown if any parcels would be identified as needing environmental remedial actions (cleanup). The original contract stated that the budget for this task was “to be determined.” To date, no parcel has been identified as specifically needing cleanup activities prior to property transaction and construction. This may yet occur if impacts are identified on any of the remaining 19 parcels slated for Phase II ESAs; if the results of the risk assessments indicate the need for cleanup activities, for impacted near‐surface soils, based on human health risk factors; or other currently unknown impacts are identified in the future. Because these unknowns still exist, no change of scope or budget allocation for this task is recommended at this time.
Cleanup Planning. Based on the number of Phase II ESAs that are completed and the results of those reports, the City will supervise a consultant in the performance of cleanup planning for up to four xxxxxxxxxx sites, or as many as possible given the remaining budget. This may involve the preparation of an Analysis of Xxxxxxxxxx Cleanup Alternative (ABCA). This will include comparing site data with appropriate cleanup standards, identifying cleanup options and costs, identifying redevelopment options, performing marketing and outreach to prospective developers, and working with the property owner or developer to develop a cleanup plan. Where applicable, cleanup planning will include applying data from the assessments to facilitate the acquisition of a Brownfields Agreement (BFA) through the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Waste Management, Brownfields Group. It is anticipated that a small area wide plan will be prepared for the area surrounding and inclusive of the Abandoned Railroad Zone. Following the Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of these properties, a team will assess redevelopment opportunities that connect to the sites and neighborhood. This assessment will evaluate development scenarios and how they can add value to adjacent neighborhoods and community while also taking into consideration environmental risks associated with the properties. The area wide plan could include: • Plan drawings of development scenarios for the site • An implementation outline for the site • Illustrations of any potential redevelopment.
Cleanup Planning. ENGINEER will work with the OWNER to conduct cleanup and redevelopment planning as required by regulators for brownfields where redevelopment is imminent. ENGINEER will work closely with the OWNER and regulators while considering the most appropriate cleanup options, maximizing the benefit to the health of the community, and economic considerations, site reuse, and redevelopment potential. In addition, ENGINEER will assist the OWNER to identify funding sources to complete the remediation of sites identified throughout the course of the grant period. When requested by OWNER, ENGINEER will prepare Analysis of Xxxxxxxxxx Cleanup Alternatives, Remedial Action Plans, site closure letter requests (Site Status Letters, No Further Action Letters, etc.), Comfort Letter requests, and will complete cleanup funding development (e.g. insurance archeology).
Cleanup Planning. EPA-funded activities in this task will cover project manager and QEP costs for creation of pre-cleanup documentation, permitting, and all preparations. This was estimated using the approved cleanup planning documents (Final ABCA, RAW, Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan (QAP), Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), Transportation Plan, and Mitigation Measures) cost estimates from the 2017- 2020 cleanup cost estimates on an adjacent site. The task also includes: • Addendum to the ABCA to address changing climate concerns • Review of mitigation measures and permitting requirements from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Regional Waterboard, State Historic Preservation Office, City Grading Requirements, and other agencies as applicable • State Closure Letter/No Further Action Letter Schedule Start: Mar. 2021 Completion: Sept. 2022 Outputs: Documentation addressing Changing Climate Concerns to ABCA; permitting documents required for cleanup implementation; State Closure Letter/No Further Action Budget: The total for this task is $50,000 for the Project Management to update the ABCA (20hrs at $50hr=$1,000) and QEP for pre-construction & permitting including SAP/QAP @ $24,000; Grading permit @ $6,000; CDFW Agreement & biological surveys @ $15,000; Transportation @ $4,000; the cost share will be $0. Task 4 – Cleanup Implementation EPA-funded activities in this task will cover environmental contractor costs for implementing the approved RAW to ready the property for redevelopment. Excavation, transport, and testing is for the entire Box Factory. Use restriction and institutional controls are applied to the 40-acre parcel where the Dump Area and Box Factory are located. This work will be conducted with applicable state and federal agencies. Tasks: • Excavation of approximately 1,000 cubic yards and removal to a permitted facility • Confirmation Sampling in areas where soil is removed in accordance with the final RAW. • Implementation of institutional controls/use restriction- Soil Management Plan; Survey; Deed • Removal Action Cleanup Report (RACR) – cleanup activities will be described in the RACR Schedule: Start: Sept. 2022 Completion: July 2023 Outputs: Final cleanup of the former Box Factory; Subsequent reports on cleanup activities and suitability of development on-site; City, Grant Administrator, and QEP will track these developments and monitor so no unapproved developments or changes will occur to the site. Budget: A total of $429,200...
