BergerWorld: 2nd Quarter 2006

The Berger/CH2M HILL Team is providing construction management and quality assurance services to the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (RIRRC) for landfill cap construction and closure of the154-acre Central Landfill in

Johnston, RI. Owned and operated by RIRRC, the 121-acre site-historically used for hazardous and non-hazardous waste disposal-and a 33-acre expansion area, was added to EPA's National Priorities List in June 1986. Before completing cap construction-covering 89 acres of the unlined sections required under the EPA Superfund Program-Berger oversaw the testing and manufacture of cap materials, and is currently preparing a Final Remedial Action Report for submission to EPA.

Berger, teamed with URS, is assisting the New York City Department of Environmental Protection in the $160 million, 297-acre Pennsylvania & Fountain Avenue Landfills (PAFAL) closure project in Brooklyn, NY, one of the largest closures ever undertaken in the state of New York.
