EPA v. 155 Third Street, LLC et al.

Case summary

The Agreement calls for the performance of a removal action to replace a collapsed, deteriorated bulkhead at 155 3rd Street, Brooklyn, in connection with the redevelopment of the property. The facility's bulkhead is in poor 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. 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.
