Housing Site Bridgeport, CT
EnviroMed conducted a review of a previous Phase I ESA conducted by others of a former Public Housing facility in Bridgeport, CT. The goal of the assessments was to develop the site into a single-family residential complex. A Phase II ESA was completed by EnviroMed sampling soil in AOEC to determine the release areas.
Several release areas were detected and were for PAHs and lead in coal ash material. EnviroMed recommended to the client to conduct a Phase III ESA. The client authorized the Phase III assessment, and EnviroMed mobilized to the site for addition assessment of the impacted soil areas. The areas were delineated and estimates were given for each AOEC. A total quantity of PAH and lead contaminated soil above the applicable RSR criteria were given as part of the Phase III ESA.
Review of all of the assessment data during the CSM document revealed that additional metals data was necessary to ascertain non-hazardous levels of lead in soil. This project identified approximately 2,00 cubic yards of PAH impacted soil over applicable RSR criteria and approximately 500 cubic yards of non-hazardous lead impacted soil.
Remedial alternatives were discussed in detail for the site RAP. The best alternative was presented to the client considered human health and environmental factors. The remedial alternative chosen for this site was excavation of contaminated soil backfill with clean fill. The variance was used for “widespread polluted fill” as defined in the RSRs for this site. The impacted soil at the site met the criteria for “widespread polluted fill”. EnviroMed used the four-foot of removal of contaminated soil and placement of four feet of clean fill where the proposed grade is going to be grass or soil. This conforms to the RSRs as long as an Environmental Land Use Restriction (ELUR) is placed on the property. The client is currently trying to fund the project based on the estimated remediation costs associated with the site.
Several other sites have been assessed for Phase I, II, and III for the City of Bridgeport, and are included below:
Across each service area, EnviroMed emphasizes clear reporting, QA/QC-informed data evaluation where applicable, and actionable recommendations—supporting informed decisions, compliance readiness, and safer project execution.
