Project Highlights: 

• Large, complex urban radiological remediation at USACE FUSRAP site where contaminants of concern were uranium, thorium, radium

• Innovative MARSSIM survey screening expedited excavation, segregation and backfill decisions

• Completed project over three years ahead of schedule, expediting site closure

• 25,440 tons of contaminated soil/debris was shipped for offsitedisposal

• Implemented green and sustainable practices using the MARSSIM FSS process to secure USACE approval and NYSDEC Part 360 exemptions for soil beneficial reuse and debris recycling resulting in cost avoidance of millions of dollars to the project

• Total area released under FSS  – Class I (11 survey units) – 107,127 SF; Class II (5 survey units) – 433,427 SF
