  26. New Drainage System • New sewer pipe to be installed under the existing Rail Road tracks in Queens

  27. New Drainage System

  28. Contaminated Materials • Contaminated soil & groundwater throughout project limits • Historic use of properties over the past century • Mostly non-hazardous levels • Several more serious areas of concern

  29. Contaminated Materials • Contaminated Materials Investigation Findings Report, April 1, 2011 (Includes Newtown Creek Sediment Sampling Data) • Draft Contaminant Management Plan (CMP), January 2013 • Draft Construction Health and Safety Plan (CHASP), January 2013

  30. Contaminated Materials • Safety Protocols for handling & disposal of contaminants (federal & state regulations) • All plans will require approval from the appropriate regulatory agencies prior to start of work

  31. Meeker Avenue Solvent Plume

  32. Meeker Avenue Solvent Plume • In the vicinity of the Meeker Avenue Solvent Plume • All piles shall be driven to a depth so that they are a minimum of 10 feet above the Raritan Clay Layer (Silty Clay) to avoid cross contamination below that Clay layer. • Piles penetrating the Raritan Clay Layer shall not be allowed unless the Design-Builder obtains approval from NYSDEC.

  33. Underground Oil Spill

  34. Underground Oil Spill • ExxonMobile Consent Order with NYSDEC. • Product recovery system consists of recovery wells, product collection, soil vapor recovery and treatment of contaminated groundwater • The oil layer varies in depth from 30 to 50 feet below grade. • The oil layer varies in thickness from 1 inch to 2.5 feet

  35. Underground Oil Spill • In the vicinity of the Underground Oil Spill • All piles shall be driven to a depth so that they are a minimum of 10 feet above the Raritan Clay Layer (Silty Clay) to avoid cross contamination below that Clay layer. • Piles penetrating the Raritan Clay Layer shall not be allowed unless the Design-Builder obtains approval from NYSDEC.

  36. Newtown Creek - Superfund Site

  37. Newtown Creek - Superfund Site • The EPA placed Newtown Creek on the Federal Superfund National Priority List in September 2010 • EPA Remedial Investigation anticipated field work from March 2014 to February 2015 • EPA dredging contract anticipated to begin 2017 • Coordination with EPA required.

  38. Laurel Hill Site

  39. Laurel Hill Site • Laurel Hill Site is a NY State Class 2 Inactive Hazardous Waste Site • There is an existing sheet barrier wall along Newtown Creek intended to prevent movement of contaminated groundwater into the Creek

  40. Laurel Hill Site • A groundwater treatment system and monitoring wells are located on the Parcels • The Contractor must construct asphalt caps on Parcels 1A, 2 and 9A per NYSDEC approved design plans before construction or staging activities can begin on these sites

  41. Laurel Hill Site

  42. Laurel Hill Site
