Site Assessments &
Remediation Project Examples
Landfill Redevelopment
Darien, CT
Client: AvalonBay Communities,
Inc.
Description: This 32 acre
former landfill and gravel quarry located at the convergence of three
railroad lines and the Noroton River was purchased by AvalonBay for
conversion into a residential apartment community. The site's
physical features also included the remnants of an approximately 660
square foot, partially demolished and dilapidated, brick wastewater
pumping station. Now just beyond the bright lights of New York
City, this former landfill has been transformed into a tranquil setting
of beautiful apartments, landscaped picnic areas and heated
pools. Triton performed site investigations, remedial
investigation, and provided comprehensive remedial oversight during
redevelopment and landfill closure.
The project team collected site characterization data
and evaluated a former filled area and areas of suspected oil and
hazardous material releases. The project team conducted soil
sampling activities, installed groundwater monitoring wells to evaulate
groundwater quality, and completed soil vapor monitoring
activities. Assistance was also provided in the demolition of a
former wastewater pumping station.
Role: Landfill closure,
environmental site assessments (Phase I, Phase II, Phase III), soil and
groundwater investigation, and LEP oversight during redevelopment and
construction.
