PROJECT BACKGROUND:

In 2013, the Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington (CGNC) decided to implement funding received from a USEPA Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grant as part of revitalizing a former junkyard property. The junkyard property was in an area being redeveloped as a new commercial/residential district known as Shotgun Row. The site was targeted for cleanup and re-use as a much-needed parking area for area residents. The project was part of a larger community revitalization plan being spearheaded by CGNC. On September 25, 2014, the completed project was unveiled to the public.

Our work included:

• Preparation of Quality Assurance Project Plans, Work Plans, and Reports reviewed and approved by USEPA Region 4 and KDEP.

• Completion of Exposure Assessment and risk-based Site Management planning in support of property redevelopment.

• Review of Phase I and Phase II Assessment field work and reporting, approved by USEPA and KDEP.

• Preparation of bid preparation documents submitted to contractors. Oversight and documentation of site capping work.
