IV. Explanation
This project is being completed and paid for under a Cooperative Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency. All work will be completed in accordance with our USEPA approved work plan.
This project is for Phase 2 of the required thorium screening and remediation at DuSable Park. The Phase 2 thorium screening includes only the perimeter forty (40) feet from the existing seawall. The interior of the site was completed in 2017 as part of the Phase 1 thorium screening and remediation.
Due to the age of the existing seawall, a new seawall will needed to be installed in order to screen the fill material around the perimeter of the site and immediately adjacent to the seawall. This seawall replacement and site exterior screening and remediation are expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
At the conclusion of this project, the environmental remediation of the property will be complete.
