Selected Project Experience: Phase One - Municipal Services Center – Site Preparation, Jersey City, NJ: This project for the Jersey City Dept. of Public Works involved Clearing, Site Preparation, Site Remediation, Asbestos Abatement and the Selective Demolition and Salvage of an existing 158,600 SF building that is to be re-purposed for use as a new Municipal Services Center for Jersey City. Jersey City has extensive areas in the city where chromium contamination is a continuing problem from legacy industries. The Site Remediation portion of this project involved the excavation, transportation, stabilization and off-site disposal of 1,128 Tons of Hexavalent Chrome (Hex Chrome). Prior to excavating the Hex Chrome Areas of Concern, the AOC’s were located via coordinates provided on the plans and based on sampling and testing performed by the owner’s consultant. Samples were extracted from each AOC and taken to a licensed analytical lab for testing to characterize the material for landfill acceptance. Then, KCC worked with Clean Earth to develop the appropriate means of treating and disposing of the Hex Chrome contaminated soil. As part of this project KCC developed a Hazardous Material Handling Plan, and worked with Emilcott (Environmental, Health and Safety Experts) from Morristown, NJ to develop a Site Specific HASP, which was reviewed by their Certified Industrial Hygienist prior to implementation. Emilcott also provided KCC with an on-site Site Safety Officer who provided health and safety oversight and conducted work zone monitoring for total dust during intrusive activities in the Hex Chrome contaminated areas. Emilcott also provided on-site air monitoring support during the Asbestos Abatement work which was subcontracted to a specialty firm.
