Former dry cleaning site makes way for community hospital following successful treatment using a combined remedy approach

Case study highlights

  • Two months’ post injection results show contaminants were reduced by 97%
  • Combined remediation approach used to successfully keep project on budget and on schedule
  • Remediation design and amendments applied provided speed and certainty allowing for project to move forward

A former dry cleaning site in Western New York was targeted for redevelopment to make way for a multidisciplinary, world-class cancer center. Before redevelopment could get underway, the developer needed to address the cVOC levels found on site which exceeded state regulatory standards. The developer engaged Benchmark/Turnkey, a leading environmental firm in the Northeast, to develop a solution to address the contaminant levels found. Benchmark/Turnkey worked with REGENESIS® to design a remedial strategy that included 3D-Microemulsion®, Bio Dechlor Inoculum® Plus, and Chemical Reducing Solution® to reduce the PCE, DCE and TCE contaminants. The design focused on speed and certainty, since the site was tagged for immediate redevelopment. Using a direct push application of the amendments, Benchmark/Turnkey was successful in applying the combined remedial approach on budget and on schedule.
