remediation
Conti Federal Services, a leading federal construction and
engineering firm specializing in environmental remediation, has
been awarded a task order contract in an estimated amount of
$4,200,000 for remedial action of the Unimatic Manufacturing
Corporation Superfund Site, Operable Unit (OU) 2, in Fairfield,
Essex County, New Jersey.
Awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Kansas City
district under the Pre-placed Remedial Action Contracts (PRAC)
Multiple Environmental Government Acquisition (MEGA) Indefinite
Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), the task order includes
groundwater and sediment remediation in accordance with CERCLA and
the CERCLA Record of Decision requirements. Conti Federal will be
responsible for the proper excavation and disposal of sediments
contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides
as well as backfilling the excavated areas with clean soil, wetland
restoration, and site restoration. The expected completion date for
this project is February 2027.
“We’re thrilled to partner with USACE Kansas City again on this
critical environmental cleanup,” said Laura Tobin, Vice President
of Environmental Remediation for Conti Federal. “Conti Federal has
a long history of environmental remediation projects, particularly
in the New Jersey region and we look forward to showcasing our
skillset and providing the residents of Fairfield with peace of
mind.”
Unimatic constructed an aluminum die casting manufacturing
process in 1955, which ran until 2001. The molds used for the
diecasting process were coated in lubricants that contained PCBs to
prevent the aluminum alloy from adhering to the molds. Spraying
these lubricants not only contaminated the interior of the
building, but it was discovered that the wastewater pipes that
transferred the process water contained a leak, thereby
contaminating the groundwater, soil, and sediments at the
property.
Conti Federal has extensive environmental remediation and
superfund cleanup experience dating back nearly 40 years. Most
recently, Conti Federal worked with the USACE Kansas City district
on a groundwater treatment project in Hopewell Junction, New York
that provided clean water access to more than 300 residents and
businesses.
