<br />BFehr@wsbeng.com | 612-248-7007 <br /> Ben Fehr – Selected Project Experience <br />Environmental Sampling and Demolition <br />Oversight | Lakeville, MN <br />CLIENT: CITY OF LAKEVILLE <br />PROJECT DURATION: 2018-On-going <br />The City of Lakeville retained WSB to provide environmental <br />and demolition services for a residential property to aid in <br />future roadway improvements. WSB conducted a pre- <br />demolition and regulated waste assessment for the site <br />which identified asbestos containing material (ACM) and <br />various regulated waste requiring removal prior to <br />demolition. WSB is currently coordinating with contractors <br />to ensure demolition services, including regulated material <br />removal and disposal, are performed in accordance with <br />local, state and federal regulations. WSB is also providing <br />oversight during demolition activities to assess for unknown <br />environmental conditions. Once demolition is complete, <br />WSB will conduct a final walkthrough to ensure the site is <br />properly backfilled, graded, seeded, and is free of demolition <br />debris. <br />Corridor Phase I Environmental Site <br />Assessment | Albert Lea, MN <br />CLIENT: MNDOT <br />PROJECT DURATION: 2018-On-going <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) <br />retained WSB to conduct a Phase I ESA for a roadway <br />corridor in Albert Lea, Minnesota. The 2.5-mile corridor <br />consists of commercial and light industrial properties, <br />including auto repair shops, filling stations, machine shops, <br />dry cleaners, and a railroad switchyard. Ben is responsible <br />for completing regulatory file reviews and identifying <br />potentially contaminated sites based on historical and/or <br />current site usage. Contaminants of concern identified thus <br />far include DRO, GRO, and chlorinated solvents. Following <br />completion of the Phase I ESA, WSB will complete a Phase <br />II investigation along the corridor. Based on results of the <br />Phase II ESA, WSB may develop a RAP / CCP for managing <br />contamination encountered within the project’s excavation <br />limits and provide oversight during future construction <br />activities. <br />Limited Phase II Environmental Site <br />Assessment | Minneapolis, MN <br />CLIENT: CHOICE BANK <br />PROJECT DURATION: 2018 <br />WSB was hired to determine if four previously-identified <br />recognized environmental conditions resulted in soil, <br />groundwater, or soil vapor impacts at a commercial <br />warehouse property. Ben provided oversight during <br />hydraulic push-probe drilling activities and was responsible <br />for screening soil samples for the presence of organic <br />vapors with a photoionization detector (PID), and submitting <br />soil, groundwater, and soil vapor samples for laboratory <br />analysis. Contaminants of concern at the site included DRO, <br />GRO, VOCs, PAHs, PCBs, and heavy metals. The Limited <br />Phase II ESA identified a new release of petroleum (DRO) <br />near a waste oil UST at the property. Ben was responsible <br />for contacting the release to the Minnesota Duty Office and <br />provided an update of findings to the client. <br />Corridor Phase I Environmental Site <br />Assessment | Minneapolis, MN <br />CLIENT: BROWN AND CALDWELL <br />PROJECT DURATION: 2018-2019 <br />WSB completed a comprehensive Phase I ESA for a <br />roadway corridor in Minneapolis, MN. The 0.75-mile <br />industrial corridor required extensive amounts of historical <br />data analysis. Risk rankings for each parcel based on <br />MnDOT’s methodology were provided by WSB to aid the <br />client to develop construction cost estimates, project <br />schedules and to obtain MPCA assurances, if necessary. <br />Ben was responsible for completing close to 100 file reviews <br />to identify contaminated sites and potential areas of concern <br />within the corridor’s 500-foot construction buffer. <br />Contaminants of concern identified throughout the Project <br />Corridor included DRO, GRO, VOCs, PAHs, heavy metals, <br />and buried debris. Based on the findings of the Phase I <br />ESA, WSB recommended a Phase II investigation for High <br />and Medium Risk sites, and that the results of the Phase II <br />investigation be incorporated into Special Provisions for the <br />management of excavated material, plans for construction <br />activities, and used to develop a RAP / CCP for managing <br />contamination encountered within the project’s excavation <br />limits.
