Feature Project

Funded by a USEPA Brownfield Assessment grant, Accord Engineering Inc. was retained by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to perform a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) at a 3.5 acre property. The property was planned to be developed into a community day school and park by the City of Burbank. A PEA Work Plan, including a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and a Health and Safety Plan (HASP), was developed by Accord Engineering's professionals and reviewed by the USEPA and DTSC.

Soil gas and soil samples were collected from various depths and locations using a truck mounted direct push rig. PEA sampling results identified an area with elevated arsenic concentrations. A screening risk assessment was conducted and a site-specific cleanup level of arsenic was derived
