Scope Of Work
The Remedial Action performed at a Formerly Used Defense Site since acquired by the General Services Administration in Watertown, MA was executed in a manner that resembled a design-build contract, where Charter was required to achieve a final performance standard.
The 13-acre parcel was the first of its kind to be transferred from Federal to Local ownership through Charter’s contract. This complex land transfer took a distressed and blighted site that posed a danger to the community and created public green space in an urban Massachusetts town.
The work performed included building demolition and abatement, which was performed under low level radiation protocols due to the Watertown Arsenal’s use for storing hazardous materials and burning depleted uranium, machined chips, and turnings during the Manhattan Project.
With the building down, Charter pre-characterized the site to determine the extent of the contamination, performed excavation to remove PCB removals that included TSCA-regulated waste, capping of non-TSCA waste on site, and construction of 2 acres of wetlands.
