Posillico Completes Highly Complex Soil Cleanup and Excavation
September, 2008

New York, NY September 2008, Posillico, one of the leading environmental construction companies in the New York Metro area, recently completed remediation of a heavily contaminated project site in Long Island City, Queens, New York. The site was prepared for construction of a mixed use development project. The clean up effort required extremely deep excavation, dewatering and treatment of contaminated groundwater and a comprehensive odor mitigation strategy. This massive undertaking combined to complete one of the most complex soil remediation projects in New York’s history.

To prepare for the large foundation of the mixed use development, over 140 thousand tons of contaminated soil, which extended 40 feet below grade, and perilously close to neighboring buildings required underpinning and careful removal of the adjacent soils. The deep excavation required the capture and treatment of over 200 million gallons of contaminated groundwater. Noxious odors that emanated throughout the site had to be contained via foaming and vapor control structures, which included a large tent that was moved throughout the site and covered over a half acre of property during each remedial phase. The massive enclosure required relocation with a 500-ton hydraulic crane.

Since 2003 residents of Oyster Bay have had limited access to one of their oldest and most popular parks due to contaminated soil that posed an environmental risk. During that time access to The Bethpage Community Park was strictly limited to paved areas only.

The team given the responsibility of getting the park cleaned and able to re-open again was Posillico Environmental. With roots in Long Island, and a reputation for solving complex environmental issues, Posillico was tasked with the major clean-up and restoration effort. Before on site work began, the town cited 130,000 tons of hazardous and non-hazardous soils throughout the park that needed to be excavated. In the early phase of the project however, Posillico discovered an additional 45,000 tons of soil that needed to be remediated, bringing the total volume to a whopping 175,000 tons.
