riverview innovation & technology campus brownfield cleanup program site

The Riverview Innovation & Technology Campus Brownfield Cleanup Program Site is located in Tonawanda, New York on the Former Tonawanda Coke Corporation property, which was an operating coke facility for more than 100 years prior to closing in October 2018. Inventum has been at the forefront of the redevelopment since prior to the acquisition by Riverview Innovation & Technology Campus, Inc. Among many other tasks, Inventum has managed the transition of the property control from the USEPA Emergency Response Team to Riverview Innovation & Technology, completed the NYS Brownfield Cleanup Program application, developed and implemented POTW industrial user permits and a new SWPPP, designed and implemented several Interim Remedial Measures, and developed an extensive Remedial Investigation Work Plan. Inventum completed an extensive RI field sampling program in 2020/2021.

 
 
 
 
 

Buffalo color brownfield cleanup program site

The Buffalo Color Brownfield Cleanup Program Site is located in South Buffalo adjacent to the Buffalo River. The site was historically used for the production of dyestuffs, organic chemicals, and intermediate chemicals for more than one hundred years. Inventum’s engineers and scientists worked with the South Buffalo Development group and the NYSDEC to navigate Areas C and E of the site through the NY State Brownfield Cleanup Program to allow development of restricted residential apartments, commercial spaces, and a collegiate athletic complex. The remedial plans include removal of impacted soils, in-situ groundwater remediation, groundwater and air monitoring, capping, selective demolition, and institutional controls.

 

Waterfront school

In 2005 the engineers of Inventum were the engineers in responsible charge of the Brownfield Cleanup program for a Manufactured Gas Plant Site in downtown Buffalo, New York. Since that time, the long-term groundwater monitoring, site inspections, and maintenance of the sub-slab depressurization system have been managed by Inventum engineers. The systems were designed and have successfully minimized the cost to our client while providing active protection of the occupied spaces over the remediation properties.

 

east delavan property

An Inventum client purchased a former axle manufacturing complex. Portions of the property were listed in the New York State Inactive Hazardous Waste Site Program (NYS Superfund) and the remainder has been enrolled in the NYS Brownfield Cleanup Program. Inventum provided the technical analysis and expertise to navigate the differentiation of the programs, and to characterize the baseline conditions for the two segments of the property. The analyses provided by Inventum allowed our client to extricate itself from responsibility for the Superfund portion of the remedial program eliminating what could have been millions in remedial obligations.

Inventum has successfully completed the NYS Brownfield Program Application and has developed the Remedial Investigation Work Plan for the Brownfield Site. Inventum will complete the Remedial Investigation in 2020/2021.
