Remedial Action Plan and Risk Management Plan for Downtown Oakland Redevelopment
Development of a remedial action plan and risk management plan for a four city-block residential redevelopment in downtown Oakland. Working with the property developer and Oakland Redevelopment Agency, a remedial action plan was developed for a former gasoline service station at the property. Additionally, a risk management plan was developed to identify procedures for handling chemical-affected soil and groundwater during construction, as well as long-term following completion of the redevelopment project. The documents were approved by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board and the redevelopment is currently under construction.
Site Management Plan for Redevelopment of Former Petroleum Distribution Facility
Development of subsurface investigations as well as a Site Management Plan for a former petroleum distribution facility in Emeryville, California that is being redeveloped to include a multi-story office and laboratory building. Because the proposed building included sub-grade parking requiring soil excavation, construction dewatering and foundation waterproofing, residual petroleum hydrocarbons in soil and groundwater were mitigated through the construction activities rather than through independent remedial actions. The Site Management Plan was approved by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health and construction of the building is currently underway.
Site Management Plan for Housing Redevelopment in Downtown Oakland
Development of a site management plan for a residential development in the downtown Oakland Area for Resources for Community Development, in coordination with the City of Oakland Redevelopment Agency. Soil excavation and disposal costs, as well as costs for the site management plan are being subsidized by a U.S. EPA Brownfields Grant administered through the City of Oakland.
Investigation, Closure, and Redevelopment of a Former Underground Storage Tank Site
Project management of an investigation and regulatory closure of a former leaking underground storage tank site in Alameda County that was being redeveloped as an office and biotechnology research and development laboratory complex. The property had residual concentrations of metals and petroleum-related organic chemicals in soil and shallow groundwater. The extent of the underground storage tank leak was defined and a human health risk evaluation indicated no significant risk, allowing for regulatory case closure. Through implementation of land use controls, including construction of raised landscaping beds and parking areas over soil, the redevelopment plan was approved by the local planning agency with the support by the local and state regulatory agencies.
