Summit subsequently prepared a Feasibility Study including recommendations for cleanup options. In August 2007, the Town of Camden selected Summit to develop a project manual for soil remediation. Summit subsequently conducted the bidding process on behalf of the town and provided remediation project oversight. The project included the construction of a grout wall and removal of contaminated soil.

Building Demolition and Remediation OversightCity of Augusta, American Tissue Mill, Augusta, Maine (2008 – present)Project Overview The City of Augusta hired Summit to prepare a bid specification package and manage the demolition of all structures located at the 18-acre American Tissue Mill property on the Kennebec River. Demolition was completed at minimal cost to the City due to aggressive recycling by the Contractor and limited disposal of select materials at the former landfill associated with the facility. The bid package required contractors to address demolition and disposal of the structures, hazardous materials, and paper mill sludge, as well as site restoration. In May 2009, Summit provided full-time oversight of the selected contractor for the demolition of the mill buildings and coordinator / liason between with the contractor, city staff, and Maine DEP. Technical Details The demolition bid package prepared by Summit required contractors to address demolition and disposal of the structures, hazardous materials, and paper mill sludge, as well as site restoration. Summit provided coordination with the Maine DEP for disposal of select materials at the former Statler Tissue landfill, thus reducing overall project costs. In May 2009, Summit provided full-time oversight of the selected contractor for the demolition of the mill buildings and contacted in bi-weekly meetings with the contractor, city staff, and Maine DEP. From October through December 2009, Summit completed a screening-level investigation to determine gross contamination concerns on the property and to develop a scope for the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. Following preparation of a Quality Assurance Project Plan approved by the US EPA and Maine DEP, Summit conducted Phase II related investigations and reporting. In the near future, Summit is expected to assist a City-selected planning firm to evaluate future site re-development senairos based on recommendations developed by Summit in the Phase II. |
