Airport Site Remediation
A $790,000 contract was awarded to Tetra Tech Inc. for engineering services and site remediation at the Cape May County Airport. County Engineer Dale Foster told the board remediation work is done there annually.
“It’s difficult to know how much is needed. We get test results and determine what is the next step to remediate areas of concern,” Foster said. He added there had been a change in project managers, with the latest being “very efficient, he gets back to us right away.”
The Site Remediation Reform Act set the stage for mandatory completion of the remedial investigation of the entire airport, once operated by the Navy.
That was to be done “on or before May 7, 2016, for all discharges that occurred on or before May 7, 1999, which is the case…” the resolution noted.
The firm Mott MacDonald was awarded a $7,500 contract to provide license site remediation services at the former Everlon Building at the airport. The building is to be demolished.
The resolution noted that during the contract’s work, it was found necessary to increase the original scope of the work to prepare a Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund application with the state Department of Environmental Protection.
