Hempstead Intersection Street Former MGP Site -
Remedial Progress

Week Ending May 03, 2013

The latest site activities continued with Deep Soil Mixing (DSM), importation of DSM materials, excavation, and soil transportation/disposal. Additionally, work continued to import clean fill for backfilling the previously completed remediation areas along with the construction of a new temporary parking lot. This backfilling work will continue through the summer months. The Intersection Street site access gate has been reopened to restore the previous traffic pattern for the project, but certain trucks that can’t safely maneuver through the site from the southern Site entrance will need to continue using the Second Street entrance.

The January 2013 Project Update Fact Sheet was mailed out to the Community to provide a project schedule update and a summary of the ongoing remediation work. This Project Update mailing and the finalized Remedial Action Work Plan can also be found in the Key Documents/Major Reports section of this website. A link to the Fact Sheet can also be found below. The work is being performed in accordance with the Community Air Monitoring Plan that was reviewed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Department of Health and the Nassau County Department of Health. There is an on-site NYSDEC representative monitoring the project activities.

As work proceeds, the web site will be updated periodically to ensure the community is informed of the project progress and schedule.
