Update - Week of January 30, 2017
Site Work
National Grid’s contractor is continuing work on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)-approved Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) Premobilization Investigation. The work planned for January 30 through February 2, 2017 is to continue the soil boring program in the back alley and in planned "Excavation Area 1." These soil borings are being used to collect soil samples for waste characterization for the upcoming Excavation IRM.
During the work, you may see a drill rig behind fencing at the site or in the back alley of the shopping center. Some noise and odor may be experienced. There will be air quality monitors on the site for monitoring dust or odor consistent with the NYSDEC-approved and NYSDOH-approved Community Air Monitoring Program. This work will not be conducted under a temporary air-handling structure (i.e., a “tent”) because it is limited investigation work. The Excavation IRM will be announced at a later date, and will be completed under a temporary air-handling structure.
Work is anticipated to be completed this week. National Grid will announce the start of the NYSDEC-approved Injection IRM in advance of that work.
Building construction work is being conducted by the property owner. National Grid's work is not related to the property owner’s construction work.
Update on Remediation Plans
National Grid, under the oversight of the NYSDEC, is proposing a cleanup for the former Dangman Park MGP site (“site”) located at 486 Neptune Ave, Brooklyn, NY. The remediation proposed is comprised of two Interim Remedial Measures (IRMs) – one Injection IRM and one Excavation IRM. The NYSDEC-approved Injection IRM will be completed at the Site in early 2017. National Grid continues to complete the design for the Excavation IRM, and will submit additional documents to NYSDEC for approval.
