Brownfield Project Samples

Foster Paper - Utica, New York

In 1998 Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering successfully obtained a $200,000 Brownfields Pilot Showcase Grant from the EPA for the City of Utica. E&R was then retained by the City to assess the environmental conditions and remediation options for the vacant Foster Paper industrial site located within the City. E&R developed all required plans for the grant program and effectively completed the environmental assessment and site investigation for the site. Upon conclusion of the assessments, the site was remediated under a voluntary remedial agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and a No Further Action (NFA) letter was provided by the Department indemnifying the volunteer and future owners from any additional environmental liabilities. The City set a precedent for local real estate market and sold the 7-acres of Brownfields for $250,000 dollars to an international company. The property has since been developed with a 98,000-square manufacturing facility and has started a development growth in this area.

General Cable - Rome, New York

Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering provided engineering services for a private landowner to investigate and remediate dormant industrial properties within the City of Rome’s developing East Rome’s Business Park. The investigation and remediation has been completed as part of a cooperative Brownfields and Voluntary Agreement between the NYSDEC, City of Rome and E&R’s private client. Under this agreement, the City remediated adjacent properties with environmental contamination, and sections of the privately owned land that threatened re-contaminating the City’s parcels. E&R developed investigation work plans, sampling plans remedial work plans, bid contract work, supervised the work and certified remediation of the site.
