Consulting and engineering services were provided to support the residential redevelopment of two (2) contiguous parcels of land formerly occupied by a restaurant and a gas station. As a change in land use to a more sensitive land use was proposed, filing of a Record of Site Condition (RSC) with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP) was required in support of redevelopment. The initial assignment included completion of Phase One and Phase Two Environmental Site Assessments concurrently with Geotechnical and Hydrogeological assessments.
As per the conditions of a site lease agreement, the gas station operator retained a contractor and consultant to decommission the gas station operations and remediate the soil and groundwater impacts. The remedial activities consisted of seven (7) areas of excavation on the western portion of the Site, ranging in floor area from 28 to 537 m2 and in depth from 1.0 to 4.5 m below ground surface. Following remedial excavation, confirmatory floor and wall samples were collected. The remedial excavation work was followed by in-situ/injection remediation, including 111 injection locations to treat impacted groundwater. The project team provided peer review, oversight of remedial activities, supplemental soil and groundwater investigations, and Risk Assessment to facilitate the successful redevelopment of the site.
