  • Remediation of a Residential Property at 61 Trudy Drive, Lodi, NJ-17533
    WM2017 Conference, March 5 - 9, 2017, Phoenix, Arizona USA FUSRAP Maywood Site - Remediation of a Residential Property at 61 Trudy Drive, Lodi, NJ-17533 James T. Moore*, David Hays*, Ann Ewy*, William Kollar**, Andy Mills*** *U.S. Army Corps of Engineers **CB&I, Inc. ***Cabrera Services, Inc. ABSTRACT The Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) is the U.S. government program started in 1974 to identify, investigate and clean up or control sites that became contaminated as a result of the nation's early atomic programs. The FUSRAP Maywood (New Jersey) Superfund Site (FMSS) consists of 92 designated property parcels known as vicinity properties. 61 Trudy Drive in Lodi, New Jersey is one such vicinity property. Construction planning for a recently- completed remedial excavation at 61 Trudy Drive was predicated on a fundamental question: to remediate the property with the existing home remaining in place or to demolish the exiting home. Answering this question involved detailed engineering and cost analyses, programmatic considerations, and stakeholder input. 61 Trudy Drive was originally addressed under FUSRAP in 1985 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). However, subsequent remediation on an adjacent property by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1998 suggested that residual contamination remained at depth at 61 Trudy. The property owner at that time declined to allow FUSRAP access to the property. However, a property transfer in 2012 presented USACE with an opportunity to address this property. Characterization of the property began in 2013; remedial activities were completed in 2015. The 61 Trudy Drive remediation required an intensive stakeholder communications program tailored for several audiences, including the affected property owner, local government officials and the neighboring community This paper will present the FUSRAP history at 61 Trudy Drive, to provide context for recent FUSRAP actions there.

  • FUSRAP Maywood Site-Remediation of Redstone Park, Lodi, NJ
    WM2017 Conference, March 5 - 9, 2017, Phoenix, Arizona USA FUSRAP Maywood Site Remediation of Redstone Park, Lodi, NJ-17534 Ann Ewy*, David Hays*, William Kollar**, Andy Mills***, James T. Moore* *U.S. Army Corps of Engineers **CB&I, Inc. ***Cabrera Services, Inc. ABSTRACT The Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) is the U.S. government program started in 1974 to identify, investigate and clean up or control sites that became contaminated as a result of the nation's early atomic programs. FUSRAP was administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) until 1997, when it was transferred to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) by congressional action. Redstone Park is a 1.5-acre municipal park located in a residential neighborhood in Lodi, Bergen County, New Jersey, USA. The park is a designated vicinity property of the FUSRAP Maywood Superfund Site. This paper will summarize the FUSRAP history of the property spanning over 20 years and then focus on the construction and community relations challenges of recent FUSRAP actions at the site. All of Redstone Park except for a portion bordering a residential property was remediated under FUSRAP in 1996. This remaining portion was remediated in 1998. The 1996 remediation included some hand-digging of surface contamination around the roots of several large mature trees in the park. As part of this action, the DOE proposed alternate cleanup standards whereby subsurface contaminated soil would remain in place around the root balls of the trees and in deeper areas (greater than 1.2 meters [m]) under a large storm drain pipe (or culvert) that runs through the park.

  • The FUSRAP Maywood Site Experience - 15550
    WM2015 Conference, March 15 – 19, 2015, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Challenges in Obtaining Property Access: The FUSRAP Maywood Site Experience - 15550 Andrew Mills Cabrera Services 100 West Hunter Avenue, Maywood, NJ USA 07607 [email protected] William Kollar, CB&I Federal Services, LLC 100 West Hunter Avenue, Maywood, NJ USA 07607 [email protected] ABSTRACT The Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) is the US government program started in 1974 to identify, investigate and clean up or control sites that became contaminated as a result of the nation's early atomic programs. Many of these sites are not owned by the federal government and therefore require owner permission to enter. The experience in pursuing such access at the FUSRAP Maywood Superfund Site (the Maywood Site or the Site) in Bergen County, New Jersey, is extensive. Since the US Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) assumed responsibility for the Maywood Site from the US Department of Energy in 1997, over 200 separate property access agreements (known in FUSRAP as a Real Estate Right-of-Entry or ROE) have been executed between the Corps and approximately 75 different land owners and tenant occupants at the Maywood Site (agreement renewals with the same owners over time account for the difference). Maywood’s experience during the Corps’ tenure, reflected here in three case studies of representative property access efforts, offers some lessons and best practices that may apply to other remedial programs. While the Site Community Relations Manager (the author of this paper) managed the property access task, multi-disciplinary support from across the project was also critical to success in this endeavor.
