Comprehensive Envrionmental Audit

SSM performed a comprehensive environmental audit of the St. Joseph Medical Center complex, Citadel Campus, which consisted of five buildings ranging in size from two to six stories.

Reading School District & St. Joseph Medical Center

Reading, Pennsylvania

SSM performed a comprehensive environmental audit of the St. Joseph Medical Center complex, Citadel Campus, which consisted of five buildings ranging in size from two to six stories. This audit was conducted while the facility was in operation and included Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, an asbestos survey, a lead survey, a mold survey, and a hazardous materials inventory. This work was completed as part of a pending property transaction and site reuse.

Four underground storage tanks were removed as part of the project; two of which required active soil remediation. The site has been remediated to residential standards and attainment of these standards has been demonstrated. This will result in the relief of environmental liability for St. Joseph Medical Center, Reading School District, and all future owners of the property.

In addition, SSM industrial hygienists also conducted a PCB investigation, mercury investigation, ozone depleting chemical investigation, and a search for radioactive materials that might have remained in the hospital.

Mold Inspection Prior to Construction

The Hillier Group

Virginia State Capitol Building

Performed a detailed mold inspection and sampling of the Virginia State Capitol Building prior to the initiation of construction and renovation of the building and replacement of the building ventilation systems. This project was initiated since given the age of the building and the ventilation system, the presence of mold was suspect.

The inspection, sampling and recommendations and specifications for remediation were completed in accordance with guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency for Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings. In areas were visible mold was observed, SSM collected swab samples to confirm the presence of mold and air samples for fungi were collected to determine if airborne contamination was present.

SSM has supported several teams to serve in a multi-disciplinary way to the Department of Architecture and Preservation (DAP) of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) since 1995.

WASHINGTON CROSSING | PA HISTORICAL MUSEUM COMMISSION

Pennsylvania Historical and Museum CommissionWashington Crossing Historic Park

Bucks County, Pennsylvania

Pidcock Creek Stone Bridge | prepared design plans and technical specifications for the construction requirements, including site excavation and backfill, grading, gabion installation, bridge deck repairs and paving, stormwater conveyance, and significant amount of masonry repairs.

Repairs to Dam #1 | Prepared drawings and specifications. Repairs included the rebuilding of sections of the stone and concrete dam crest, the replacement of the valve on the outlet pipe, the removal of sediment deposited in the vicinity of the inlet gate; and stream bank stabilization.

Repairs to Canal Bridge | Prepared and submitted a Pa DEP General Permit #11, including the permit application and meetings with Pa DEP. Prepared design plans for the re-construction of the roadway and bridge including plan and profile designs and grading.

Heritage Trail | Coordinated with the Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor and the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve to replace a stone trail to connect the Delaware Canal to the Thomson Neely Grist Mill. Conducted a topographical survey of the area and designed a conceptual alignment of the redesigned trail to meet ADA/ABA accessibility standards. The alignment of the revised design, situation behind the mill, also provided a lower impact on the historic significance on the site.

Wastewater Treatment, Collection and Management | Obtained the PA DEP NPDES permit renewal and provided recommendations for equipment/process rehabilitation and/or replacement required to resume operations and discharge at the Lower Park Wastewater Treatment Plant. Provided recommendations and cost estimates for repairs, replacement, and improvements.

Lumber Museum, Galeton PA | Sewage System Evaluation and Design | Evaluated alternative methods of wastewater disposal. The methods were (1) to collect the wastewater and treat on-site by equalization storage, septic tanks with effluent filter, followed by a drip irrigation method of soil absorption, including further filtration and distribution to woodland soils, and (2) collect the wastewater, and pump it to the Denton Hill facility located across U.S. Route 6, and Nine-Mile Run stream. SSM subsequently designed a drip irrigation wastewater system as an alternative to the inadequate system. The process involved land surveying, preparing drawings and specifications for the preliminary and final designs, securing permits, providing bidding assistance, and overseeing construction services.

Valley of Concentration | Well Replacement | SSM located well site located, coordinated well drilling activities with Upper Makefield Township Department of Code Enforcement and the well driller, collected hydrogeologic data during drilling, and collection and reporting of water level data collection for PA DEP permit application.
