Replacement of Two Garages and Incinerator in Community Districts 9-10-11 (bronx, ny)
Environmental Planning & Management, Inc. (EPM) performed an asbestos survey and an inventory of universal/miscellaneous regulated materials to supplement past information at the Bronx 9/10 and 11 Sanitation Garages/Incinerator.
The facility consists of two buildings:
1. Bronx 9/10 is a two story plus mezzanine former maintenance garage (currently mostly utilized for storage) with associated offices
2. Bronx 11 is the former incinerator building now mostly utilized as a maintenance garage along with associated offices
The purpose of the investigation was to sample previously assumed asbestos containing materials (ACMs) to limit the extent of abatement necessary; verify the locations and quantities of the previously confirmed ACMs; and to inventory universal waste, and miscellaneous regulated/hazardous materials.

EPM was an environmental sub-consultant for the 57th Street Garage Remediation and Demolition Project encompassing three garage structures and an incinerator stack.
