HRP
Associates, Inc. was selected by the City of Torrington
to provide consulting services for the Downtown
Torrington Brownfields Assessment Program. The program,
funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is
an integral part of the $100 million revitalization of
Torrington’s central business district. |
 |
 |
The
initial properties investigated were the Church Street
Dam, the Kelley Bus Company, and the Torin Corp. The
scope of work completed for each of these sites included
an ASTM-compliant Phase I environmental site assessment
and a Phase II subsurface investigation. |
The Phase II was
followed in each case by the preparation of a preliminary
remedial cost estimate which included typical remediation
scenarios for the subsurface and also building abatement issues
to accommodate proposed changes to each site as part of
redevelopment.
As part of the process of completing the Phase II assessments,
HRP prepared a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for each of
the three sites, which were submitted to the U.S. EPA for review
and approval.
|
While each
of the sites presented challenges for HRP in the
execution of the assessment work, the site-specific work
necessary for the Church Street Dam project is of
particular note given the need for the completion of an
A-2 quality survey map to support the necessary sediment
sampling program, which involved the use of a barge to
allow the drilling rig access to the on-site pond. |
 |
HRP has continued
to provide the City with technical assistance, along with
promoting awareness of Brownfields issues to residents,
including the recent attendance at a congressional tour of the
project area.
