EPA v. 163 6th Street LLC

Case summary

The Agreement calls for the performance of a removal action to replace a collapsed, deteriorated bulkhead at 163 6th Street, Brooklyn, in connection with the redevelopment of the property as a public storage center. The facility's bulkhead is in moderate condition. The replacement bulkhead has been designed to EPA's specifications, such that its increased depth will obviate the need for temporary shoring during future dredging of contaminated canal sediments, reducing overall project costs and time. Respondent will also install a separated stormwater oil/water control system. The bulkhead repair work will require re-suspension controls to limit disturbance of contaminated canal sediments. The value of the work is approximately $1,000,000. Respondent will also reimburse EPA for its costs of overseeing the work.
