Fries Mill Manor Care – Voluntary Clean-Up Program

A commercial development company proposed the development of a skilled nursing facility on this 13-acre brownfield located in Gloucester County, NJ. The Preliminary Assessment (PA) identified historic pesticide use, vehicle maintenance operations, and vapor intrusion pathways as areas of concern onsite. The property owner entered into New Jersey’s Voluntary Cleanup Program in furtherance of an Unrestricted Use – No Further Action (NFA) letter.

TWT Provided the Following Services in Accordance with NJDEP Technical Requirements for Site Remediation:

Site Investigation (SI) and Remedial Investigation (RI) of areas of concern including:

• Baseline Ecological Evaluation (BEE) of onsite pond and wetlands;
• Soil sampling of floor drains and impacted soil delineation;
• Regulatory file review of offsite groundwater contamination migrating onsite;
• Monitoring well installation and groundwater investigation;
• Indoor Vapor Intrusion Assessment;
• Geophysical Investigation for buried storage tanks and septic systems.

Remedial Action (RA) of impacted areas

• Excavation and removal of 1,300 CY of pesticide impacted soils;
• Demolition of poultry sheds and sampling/ recycling of cinderblock;
• Excavation and removal of 100 CY of PCB impacted soils associated with the floor drains;
• Analysis of potential indoor vapor intrusion pathways associated with a migrating PCE plume onsite.

TWT’s professionals worked diligently to obtain State and local approvals, which maintained the cost-effectiveness of the project. TWT negotiated several waivers to the Technical Regulations, which saved the client approximately $25,000 while remaining on schedule for construction.
