<br />Jeffery Rice, PG, CHMM – Selected Project Experience
<br />Kaposia Landing Park Improvements | South St.
<br />Paul, MN
<br />CLIENT: CITY OF SOUTH ST. PAUL
<br />PROJECT DURATION: 2015-2016
<br />WSB provided environmental planning services associated
<br />with the management of buried solid waste and asbestos
<br />incidental to construction redevelopment of Kaposia Landing
<br />Park. Kaposia Landing Park is home to a historical solid
<br />waste landfill containing an estimated 3.5 million cubic yards
<br />of buried waste, covering over 75 acres along the Mississippi
<br />River in South St. Paul, Minnesota. As part of the
<br />environmental planning process, Jeffrey enrolled the site
<br />into the MPCA’s VIC Program as identification number VP
<br />5391. For VIC enrollment, WSB prepared a RAP, an ECP
<br />and a site-specific Health and Safety Plan for the
<br />management and mitigation of environmental and workplace
<br />hazards. During the project WSB completed waste
<br />characterization at 38 excavation locations, oversaw the
<br />removal of 50 truckloads of ACWM and 117 truckloads of
<br />industrial waste, provided oversight and documentation of
<br />vapor membrane installation and obtained a site specific
<br />beneficial reuse determination from the MPCA for solid
<br />waste reuse. WSB also worked with City and MPCA to
<br />prepare Environmental Covenant for the site.
<br />Hamel Road Reconstruction Project | Medina,
<br />MN
<br />CLIENT: HENNEPIN COUNTY
<br />PROJECT DURATION: 2014 – 2016
<br />As part of a larger road improvements project, WSB
<br />provided environmental planning and management services
<br />for the excavation of two stormwater ponds constructed at
<br />Hamel Road in the City of Medina, Minnesota. As part of the
<br />environmental planning process, WSB completed a Phase I
<br />ESA, prepared a RAP, proposed an actions letter, and
<br />enrolled the site into the MPCA’s VIC Program. Prior to RAP
<br />implementation, WSB completed test pit excavations to
<br />sample and verify types and depths of contamination
<br />documented in a previously conducted Phase II ESA.
<br />During the test pit investigation, ACM was identified in the
<br />buried debris at the easement. Following the identification of
<br />ACM, WSB prepared a RAP/CCP addendum, developed an
<br />ECP and submitted both documents to the MPCA for review
<br />and approval. Contaminants of concern at the site included
<br />DRO, GRO, ACM, copper and arsenic. WSB provided
<br />remediation oversight during removal of ACM-impacted soil
<br />and debris, conducted field screening, managed material
<br />assessment and segregation during excavation, collected
<br />GPS coordinates for both remediated areas and remaining
<br />contamination at the site and tracked waste shipments for
<br />disposal. A total of 266 loads (4,893.93 tons) of ACWM were
<br />removed from the site for disposal at an MPCA permitted
<br />landfill.
<br />CSAH 102 Corridor Improvements | Golden
<br />Valley, MN
<br />CLIENT: CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY &
<br />HENNEPIN COUNTY
<br />PROJECT DURATION: 2016-2018
<br />The City of Golden Valley retained WSB to provide
<br />environmental investigation, planning, management and
<br />field oversight services for the highway reconstruction
<br />and improvements project at CSAH 102. In his role as
<br />project manager, Jeffrey completed a Phase I and Phase
<br />II ESA and prepared a CCP to manage GRO, DRO, PAH
<br />and VOC impacts at the Site. During construction,
<br />Jeffrey was responsible for coordinating response
<br />actions and managing communication and scheduling
<br />with contractors, subcontractors, field staff and the
<br />County. WSB managed material assessment and
<br />segregation, waste shipment tracking and global
<br />positional system (GPS) survey of both remediated areas
<br />and remaining contamination at the Corridor. In July
<br />2016, following the identification of elevated ambient
<br />organic vapor concentrations (400+ ppm by PID) at a
<br />sanitary sewer excavation, Jeffrey worked with the
<br />Contractor and the County to ensure that appropriate
<br />engineering and monitoring controls were in place to
<br />safely continue the project work in the area. Jeffrey
<br />prepared the final report documenting construction
<br />monitoring field activities completed for the project.
<br />
<br />Valley Oil Site Redevelopment | Savage, MN
<br />CLIENT: CITY OF SAVAGE
<br />PROJECT DURATION: 2016-2018
<br />The City of Savage retained WSB to provide environmental,
<br />geotechnical and engineering design services for
<br />redevelopment of the former Valley Oil Site. The 2.2-acre
<br />site historically operated as a commercial bulk petroleum
<br />distributer, retail filling station and auto maintenance
<br />business. As part of the environmental planning process,
<br />WSB completed a Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, asbestos and
<br />regulated materials inspections, a preliminary Geotechnical
<br />Investigation, cost estimating, RAP/CCP, Limited Site
<br />Investigation, and enrollment into the MPCA Brownfields
<br />programs. WSB prepared bid documents and an
<br />engineering estimate for the demolition, decommissioning,
<br />stormwater design and grading of the site. WSB provided
<br />construction monitoring and oversight during site demolition
<br />and decommissioning, grading and pad-ready, site
<br />preparation. Contaminants of concern at the site included
<br />DRO, GRO, VOCs, PAHs and PCBs. The project included
<br />removal of 16 USTs, 4 oil water separators, 2 septic
<br />systems, 4 lifts/hoists, buried debris and 3 buildings. The
<br />city received a No Association Determination Letter and
<br />RAP Implementation Approval Letter following project
<br />completion in January 2018.
