High Speed Rail-CP Railroad Muskego Yard Redevelopment Project, Milwaukee County, WI:

Performed a Phase 1 hazardous materials assessment of the Canadian Pacific (CP) Railroad Muskego Yard (~4-mile long). The purpose of the project is to reroute the freight rail traffic away from the Milwaukee Intermodal Station. The proposed was redevelopment included building of the new Railroad tracks and several structures associated with the new tracks as part of the High Speed Railroad (HSR) initiative.

I-94/USH 41 North South Corridor, Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha Counties:

Performed a Phase 1 hazardous materials assessment of the mainline and fifteen interchanges in Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha Counties (WI), and Lake County (IL). The project limits are: Howard Avenue on the north, 35th Street (over I-894/43) on the west, Howell Avenue on the east (under the Airport Spur), and the north end of the I 94/USH 41 interchange in Lake County, Illinois.

Responsibilities included evaluating the environmental risk and liabilities associated with potential hazardous materials sites located adjacent to the project corridor that included the current and former gas stations, paint shops, salvage yards, wood preserving facilities, dry cleaning facilities, tanneries, municipal landfills, and miscellaneous fill areas and recommending a list of sites for additional (Phase 2) hazardous materials investigation based on right-of-way (R/W) acquisition and excavation requirements for the project.

Also performed several Phase 2 environmental site investigations to evaluate the soils and groundwater conditions in connection with the proposed roadway construction.

General Mitchell International Airport (GMIA), Runway Safety Area Improvements, Milwaukee County:

Performed environmental Phase 1 site assessments, Phase 2 site investigations, and stormwater infiltration studies of the areas along the west side of existing S. 6th Street; east and west ends of Runway 7R/25L; and south side of Runway 19R/1L (East College Avenue) as part of the GMIA Runway Safety Area Improvements Project.

Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Landfill Gas (LFG) Pipeline Project:

Conducted Phase I ESA for MMSD’s proposed LFG Pipeline segments A, B, C, and D (over 20-mile long) between Emerald Park Landfill and the MMSD Milorganite Plant on Jones Island. Identified sites with the potential for causing hazardous materials impacts to the proposed construction, and recommended select sites for additional investigation to evaluate the potential impacts. Performed a preliminary Phase 2 investigation for the Jones Island area in connection with the LFG pipeline project.

Marquette Interchange Reconstruction Project, Milwaukee, WI:

Provided field oversight for the hazardous materials investigation of the West Leg, South Leg, and Core sections of the interchange. The investigation included over 300 Geoprobe borings and 70 temporary groundwater monitoring wells. Borings were located at the design location of future structures and ranged in depths from 10 to 40 feet. Responsibilities included: supervising and directing the field activities, collecting soil and groundwater samples for laboratory testing, classifying soils during drilling operations, field-screening using a Photo-Ionization Detector, and preparing logs of test borings.

UST site Assessments/Investigations at MCTS-Fiebrantz, Fond Du Lac, and Kinnickinnic Bus Garages:

Performed site assessments in conjunction with closure-in-place or closure by removal of UST systems at Milwaukee Countys Transit System Fiebrantz, Fond Du Lac, and Kinnickinnic Bus Garages.

Sheboygan River Sediment Sampling and Testing, US Coast Guard Station-Sheboygan, Sheboygan, WI:

Performed sampling and testing of the river sediments for purposes of characterizing the sediment materials to help determine the management options for the dredged sediment during construction.

Canal Street Wet Weather Relief Sewer Project, Milwaukee, WI:

Performed Phase 1 ESA of this 2.71-mile long sewer corridor from downstream terminus of the Menomonee Special West Metropolitan Interceptor Sewer at the existing Overflow Chamber 1 located just south of Canal Street on the east side of S.27th Street to the Jones Island Siphons site located at the intersection of South Water and East Bruce Streets. Conducted Phase 2 ESAs for several shaft locations to investigate the potential presence of hazardous materials / petroleum contamination and provide recommendations for handling and management of soil and/or groundwater impacts at these sites during construction.
