Project No. 2: Arlington Grove Brownfield Redevelopment, Phase I, Phase I, Hazardous Materials Surveys, and Phase III, McCormack Baron Salazar (MBS), St. Louis The Arlington Grove Redevelopment is an Enterprise Green Communities mixed–finance, mixed–income housing, mixed–use redevelopment project. PE provided environmental services to MBS at this site including soil and groundwater sampling, monitoring well installation, interpretation of analytical data and remedial design recommendations, Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Tier 1 risk assessments, UST closure reporting, and asbestos and lead based paint surveys for the Missouri Brownfields/Voluntary Cleanup Program

(BVCP).

PE conducted a Phase I ESA and Phase II ESA, which included sampling of soil and buried debris in test pits, as well as soil and groundwater from borings and temporary piezometers. in order to characterize soil that would be removed and/or reused on site during redevelopment activities. The Phase II ESA revealed evidence of metals (lead and arsenic) and PAH (benzo(a)pyrene) contamination above state regulatory Default Target Levels (DTLs) in fill soil and buried debris. Native soils sampling and analytical results were all below the MDNR DTL’s.

PE managed the remediation of the impacted soils. PE also assisted MBS in the preparation of the application for the MDNR’s BVCP. PE served as liaison between MBS and the MDNR in the implementation of environmental investigation and remediation activities in order to move the site towards closure. PE also provided oversight for the removal of USTs and provided closure sampling and reporting. Additionally, during the Phase I and II ESA’s it was discovered that a former drycleaner had been present on the southeast portion of the property. PE prepared the necessary documents in order to enter the site in the Dry‐cleaning Environmental Response Trust (DERT) fund, which allowed for the reimbursement of environmental activities related to site cleanup. PE prepared several work plans, cost estimates, conducted soil sampling, groundwater monitoring, preparation of Tier 1 risk assessment and provided support to MBS for the submittal of reimbursement packages to the DERT fund. PE also prepared asbestos abatement specifications and conducted third party oversight for the asbestos abatement activities.

PE prepared a comprehensive Closeout Report that documented the results of all sampling and remediation activities that occurred on the BVCP portion of the property. PE also worked with MBS’s private consultant and legal counsel to develop an Environmental Covenant to be filed with the property deed.

Project No. 3: Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, and Environmental Consulting Activities, BJC – Washington University Medical Campus East Parking Garage, St Louis, MO PE was contracted by BJC Healthcare for initially $10K in environmental services and ended up performing $400K of work over a nearly two year engagement for BJC. Initially, PE was called out to a construction site when the drilling contractor encountered free product while drilling piers for the foundation for the multi‐level parking garage, referred to as the BJC East Parking Garage site. PE responded immediately by halting all drilling activities and performing a fast track Phase I ESA in conjunction with a Phase II ESA to evaluate levels of contaminants in the soil, groundwater, and free product. As identified in the Phase I, the subject property had previously been occupied with above‐ground fuel oil storage tanks. The Phase II ESA revealed the presence of free product and petroleum contamination in soil and groundwater. PE provided field screening of excavated soil, coordination of the removal of a 8,000 gallon UST, management of the on‐site storage of solid and liquid wastes, management of removal of solid and liquid wastes from site, and tracking of documentation of disposal of the solid special waste in conjunction with the subsurface construction work on this project. PE oversaw the disposal of approximately 36,000 tons of solid special waste and over 580,000 gallons of liquid waste throughout the construction activities.

In conjunction with these activities, PE performed environmental monitoring during the site earthwork activities. PE identified and documented action levels prior to the start of the activity and periodically monitored the ambient levels with respect to the action levels for the periods and durations specified by the onsite safety representative. PE monitored the following parameters: levels of VOCs in the ambient air, levels of oxygen in the ambient air (monitoring for oxygen‐rich or oxygen deficient conditions), and lower explosive levels. PE communicated to the client when the action levels for any of these parameters were approached, and immediately notified the client of any exceedances of the action levels so that the appropriate control measures could be taken. PE recorded meter readings in the field, and copies of the field notes were provided.

PE received a 4.8 out of 5 on the scorecard by the BJC Project Manager for this project.

In the late 1800’s, the More family constructed the Lake for farm and recreational purposes. The More’s Lake project is a special and unique opportunity because the Lake has the potential to be returned to its original recreational use. The park planning program also will consider terrestrial and aquatic habitat development. BMcD is working with regulators within the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and with City stakeholders to first remediate the site. Their project team developed final closure plans, conducted site sampling, addressed permitting requirements, and provided construction oversight for the closure. The next phase of the project will involve providing engineering design and complete the construction plans and specifications for the restoration phase of the project. The proposed project involves the restoration of the island that was originally a part of the lake. This work will require our staff to work closely with the City during the design process to expose the remaining two sides of the existing retaining wall that forms the island to evaluate the existing conditions and confirm the existing walls are stable. We will also assist the City to identify design options for a new pedestrian bridge and the remainder of the park.
