About this file
This file is a geotechnical investigation report and photographic documentation for the Town of Stratford Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) Flood Protection Project located at 105 Beacon Point Road in Stratford, Connecticut. The project involves construction of flood protection improvements totaling 3,100 linear feet, requiring removal of existing stone riprap, excavation to approximately 3-4 feet depth, micropile drilling, concrete pile cap and wall formation and pouring, earthen embankment fill placement, gabion wall installation, stone riprap reinstallation, and site restoration. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 1:30 PM at the facility location. The investigation was conducted in April and May 2022, with test pits (TP-1 through TP-6) excavated to examine embankment composition, armor stone placement, and subsurface conditions along the Beacon Point Road Levee and WPCF dike perimeter.
The geotechnical data reveals subsurface conditions consisting primarily of silts, sands, and gravels with varying moisture contents and consolidation characteristics. Soil samples demonstrate high plasticity indices in certain strata, with one sample (GZ-1, depth 17-19 feet) showing a liquidity index of 1.9 and another (GZ-1, depth 21-23 feet) showing an index of 1.5, indicating saturated or near-saturated conditions. Rock core sampling from boring GZ-5 at depths of 29.6-34.6 feet recovered gneiss material with 95 percent recovery and 85 percent rock quality designation. Environmental analysis of soil samples indicates metal concentrations generally below Connecticut regulatory thresholds, with arsenic, cadmium, and mercury present at low levels. Electronic bid submission is prohibited; all bids must be submitted in alternate format as specified by the Town of Stratford.

Mr. John Casey Stratford Town Hall 2725 Main Street Stratford, CT 06615
Re: Supplemental Analytical Data Report Stratford Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) Perimeter Flood Wall Improvements Stratford, Connecticut 06115
Dear Mr. Casey:
GZA GeoEnvironmental Inc. (GZA) has prepared this supplemental analytical data report to provide the results of the environmental soil testing at 105 Beacon Point Road in Stratford, CT (Site) for Stratford WPCF (Client). The soil sampling was completed on January 21, 2026 as a follow up to previous sampling conducted on April 4, 2022 in accordance with our contract signed on February 3, 2022. This report is subject to the terms and conditions of that contract and to the Limitations presented in Appendix A.
BACKGROUND
This report presents the results of GZA's environmental subsurface explorations for the proposed WPCF Perimeter Flood Wall Improvements. The WPCF is located at 105 Beacon Point Road, Stratford, Connecticut, at the corner of Birdseye Street and Birdseye Street Extension. The WPCF is located on the western side of the Housatonic River. GZA has prepared a design for the proposed WPCF Perimeter Flood Wall Improvement Project.
For the design, GZA prepared a report titled, “Geotechnical Engineering and Environmental Data Report, Stratford Water Pollution Control Facility”, dated February 20, 2023, which included environmental test results for a composite soil sample collected at test boring GZ-2 and indicated that soils from the 0- to 8-foot depth interval contained a concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) above the Connecticut Residential Direct Exposure Criteria (R-DEC). The location of boring GZ-2 is shown on the attached Figure 1. GZA recommended additional subsurface explorations and soil testing to further assess the extent and degree of the detected impact and recommended preparing a Soil Management Plan (SMP) to provide guidance for soil management during construction. The subsequent additional investigations were completed, and the results are reported herein.
SCOPE OF WORK
On January 21, 2026, GZA completed three soil borings (GZ-101, GZ-102 and GZ-103) by hand and collected eight soil samples from these three borings to evaluate the extent and degree of the PCBs previously detected at GZ-2. Prior to on-Site activities, Call-Before-You-Dig was notified to identify underground utilities in the vicinity. GZA also retained Underground Surveying, Inc. to
Stratford WPCF Perimeter Flood Wall Improvements
File No. 18.0172256.70 Page | 2
Proactive by Designperform a ground penetration radar (GPR) survey and locate private underground utilities. The soil borings were advanced to depths of 2.75- to 5-feet below grade (fbg) using an electric hammer drill and macro core sampler equipped with acetate sleeves. The locations of the borings are shown on Figure 1.
The recovered soil samples were observed in the field by GZA staff for indicators of a release (e.g., staining, discoloration and/or odors) and none were observed. In addition, the soil samples were screened using a photo-ionization detector (PID) with a 10.6 eV lamp. A PID is a screening instrument that is capable of detecting certain organic vapors, including constituents of solvents, petroleum fuels and oils, but not PCBs. A PID is used as a screening instrument only and does not provide absolute values for concentrations in soil samples. The PID was calibrated to 100 parts per million (ppm) isobutylene standard prior to sample screening. A background reading of 0.0 ppm on the PID was noted during the sampling and no elevated PID readings were observed from screening the soil samples.
Representative soil samples (three samples from boring GZ-101, two samples from GZ-102, and three samples from GZ-
103) were collected from the borings, preserved for laboratory analysis and submitted under chain of custody to Complete Environmental Testing, Inc. (CET) in Stratford, Connecticut for analysis of PCBs by EPA method 8082A. Laboratory reports are provided in Appendix B.
ANALYTICAL RESULTS
The analytical results are summarized on Table 1 and were compared to the following criteria in the Connecticut Remediation Standard Regulations (CT RSRs):
Residential Direct Exposure Criteria (R-DEC)
Industrial/Commercial Direct Exposure Criteria (I/C-DEC)
Class GA Pollutant Mobility Criteria (GA-PMC)
Class GB Pollutant Mobility Criteria (GB-PMC)
The analytical results indicate that PCBs were detected at a concentration above the R-DEC in sample GZ-101 (0-2) and were either not detected or detected at concentrations at or below the R-DEC in the 7 other samples. As discussed above, PCBs were previously detected at a concentration exceeding the R-DEC in a sample from GZ-2 in April 2022.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on our field observations and the analytical results, soils from the 0- to 8-foot depth interval from boring GZ-2 contain a concentration of PCBs above the R-DEC. Boring GZ-101 was performed next to GZ-2 and discrete samples were collected from the 0 to 2-foot, 2 to 4-foot and 4 to 5-foot depth intervals to evaluate the depth at which the PCBs were previously detected in composite sample GZ-2 (0-8). Sample GZ-101 (0-2) contained PCBs at a concentration above the R-DEC; however, PCBs were not detected in the soil samples from the other depth intervals. PCBs were not detected at concentrations above the R-DEC in the five soil samples submitted for testing from GZ-102 and GZ-103.
Based on the test results, GZA recommends excavating the soils from the area around GZ-2 to a depth of at least two feet below the ground surface. The soils should be stockpiled, and additional laboratory testing should be performed to provide the analytical test results for off site disposal at a permitted facility. The recommended area of excavation is presented on Figure 1.

Proactive by DesignGZA also recommends implementation of a Soil Management Plan (SMP) to provide a program for handling, segregating, stockpiling, sampling, and reusing or disposing of soil/material which may be encountered during planned excavation and construction activities.
Evaluation of soil quality was limited to the locations described. Additional testing of stockpiled soils may be required to assess the extent and degree of the detected impacts and develop sufficient information to facilitate acceptance of the material by a suitable offsite soil reuse/disposal facility.
