Liesch served as the general project liaison between the City of Moorhead, State and Federal regulatory agencies, the community and developers. The work for this project included both Phase I and II assessments for this site, as well as completion of comprehensive soil and groundwater investigation, including soil boring, test pit monitoring, well installation and risk assessment. Industrial hygiene services were completed for asbestos, lead-based paint and other hazardous materials as well as pre-demolition hazardous material inspection, abatement and demolition services. Remediation design addressed cleanups and construction contingency design which accounted for residual soil and groundwater contamination that may be encountered during redevelopment. The cleanup of the site began in concert with redevelopment and included soil excavation, groundwater management, and installation of vapor barriers and sub-slab venting systems beneath new building construction. To assist our client with the financial burden of the work, Liesch prepared various State and Federal grant requests and reimbursement applications. A large portion of investigation and cleanup costs were funded by local, State and Federal cleanup programs.
