884 McDonough Cleanup Plan
Between 2021 and 2022, fill dirt collected from sewer line replacement projects throughout DeKalb County rights-of-way was placed in the southwest and central area of the property. Soil samples of the fill collected as part of a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment indicated the presence of contaminants at a concentration in excess of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) Notification Concentrations (NC).
The cleanup objective is to protect human and environmental health by excavating and transporting impacted soils for proper off-site disposal. The contaminated soils will be further delineated, excavated, characterized, and disposed of at a properly permitted facility. The total volume of impacted soil to be excavated is approximately 1,400 tons. Clean fill will be imported into the site and placed in the excavation to match surrounding grades.
Note: Work will follow approved health and safety practices and all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
