Environmental Testing & Remediation for Child Care Center, Federal Building
Verizon Wireless
Various Locations, New York
The General Services Administration (GSA) retained Tectonic to provide environmental testing and remediation services. Building restoration work caused Poly-Chlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) -laden debris (from waste caulk) to fall throughout the Federal courthouse plaza and playground of the employee’s day care center. This project had a sensitive population at risk and the falling debris resulted in site-wide contamination above background levels with both state and Federal regulatory triggers.
Review, test, and evaluate extent of residual PCBs.
Remedial Investigation (RI)
Delineated and managed remediation of the PCBs .
Regulatory framework included satisfying New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
(NJDEP) and Federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requirements simultaneously.
The site is within a large city; this, and the security issues made the Remedial Investigation a challenge.
