In order to invest in the care of New York City Parks, often redesign and rebuild of city parks and recreational facilities take place for a variety of reasons. The reconstruction of portions of the 58-acre Red Hook Recreational Area in Brooklyn, New York is an example of such a project consisting of a Track, Ballfields 1, 2, 3 and 4 and Soccer Fields 3, 4, and 5 in the Recreation Area. E2PM had the privilege of working on this project providing a range of multi-discipline services at various phases.
The Project lies within the former location of a secondary lead smelter called Columbia Smelting and Refining Works which resulted in lead-contaminated soils from the smelter in the mixed-use neighborhood of Red Hook. The project encompasses approximately 18 acres with the hopes of completion in 2024 through a series of four (4) phases.
E2PM was retained as part of a larger project team of professionals for this reconstruction project to assist with the following activities at various stages:
- Construction Project Plans
- Construction Equipment Staging Plan
- Perimeter Air Monitoring / Dust Control
- Environmental Health and Safety Plan (HASP)
