BACKGROUND:
EMTEQUE was initially retained by Capital Real Estate, Ltd. to perform an asbestos survey, lead paint survey and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for a vacant 5-story residential building (scheduled for demolition) and the adjoining two lots, all of which were part of a major renovation plan for the construction of a high rise property. Information that was ascertained in the Phase I ESA led to the discovery of contaminated fill in the adjacent lots, in addition to asbestos containing materials in the building and an abandoned oil tank in the basement. EMTEQUE was retained to perform asbestos air monitoring services during the removal of the ACM, in addition to removing and closing the oil tank. We also performed a detailed Phase II Subsurface Investigation to delineate the extent of the lotsí soil contamination. Once this was accomplished, EMTEQUE then supervised the Phase III remediation process, in addition to successfully closing out the NYSDECís spill investigation file.
