Plank Site, Fredericksburg, VA

GTA performed a Phase II ESA of the proposed tower site due to the proximity of the landfill. GTA developed a Phase II work plan, a health & safety plan (HASP), and a contaminated media management plan; collected soil and groundwater samples for volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds using a Geoprobe® direct push machine and a backhoe; provided field screening the ambient air for methane and oxygen levels; conducted waste characterization sampling ensuring the contaminated media was handled and disposed of in accordance with the management plan and industry standards; and prepared a closure report.
