Turning a Brownfield into a Environmentally Seward in Portsmouth, Virginia
Overview of RDS Facility at 3325 Frederick Blvd Property was purchased in 2004 During initial site work in 2005, there was a release of a petroleum product suspected to be diesel range organics
An investigation was undertaken to determine the source of the diesel range organics It was determined from the 1970s through the early 1990s Portsmouth Paving had occupied the site manufacturing asphalt The site contained ASTs, which had been removed prior to purchasing the property in 2004
However, the contamination was not only on RDS property but also on the adjacent property and no further action was taken In 2009 RDS purchased this adjacent property and then consult DEQ for a Voluntary Soil Remediation to clean up the site DEQ also did not find the remediation necessary since the contamination had not spread rapidly due to its high viscosity
RDS spent over $500,000 to fully remediate the site, which took almost 2.5 years The site was completely remediated on June 11, 2012
RDS Today The site has been fully remediate, no additional contamination has been found, and all monitoring wells have been removed Currently RDS is under an expansion, adding additional warehouse space, a new office and look for LEED Certification on the project All to better meet Hampton Roads Recycling Needs

  • #12: The owner of the adjacent site did not want to remediate the site and therefore no further action was taken
