Bronx River Greenway-Starlight Park (bronx, ny)
Environmental Planning & Management, Inc. (EPM) prepared a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) to perform environmental sampling at the site proposed for construction of Starlight Park Phase II.
Soil sampling was conducted to provide sufficient data for developing a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) to be followed during construction, providing procedures for handling and disposal of excavated soils, and procedures for site remediation to ensure that future users of the completed park will not be exposed to hazardous materials during operation.
EPM previously performed limited soil sampling from geotechnical borings across the project site in 2005 on behalf of NYSDOT.
