Final report to Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Public Works on environmental assessment, 783 Central Avenue, Greenwood, Nova Scotia
Pinchin LeBlanc Environmental Limited (PLEL) was retained by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) to conduct environmental site assessment work at 783 Central Avenue in Greenwood, Nova Scotia. The main purpose of the work was to gather information on the physical and chemical properties of soil and groundwater on the site. In particular, the investigation focused on potential impacts to soil and/or groundwater from chemicals generally classified as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The program involved field inspection, borehole drilling, soil sampling, installation of groundwater monitor wells, locating a former drilled well, obtaining groundwater samples and conducting laboratory analytical work. All of the investigation results were used to assess the potential for the site to be the source of impacts to groundwater measured elsewhere in the area. This report presents all of the results of the assessment. Section 2.0 provides background information on the site and its history. Section 3.0 describes the guideline framework used to assess the concentrations of various constituents in soils and groundwater. The environmental setting for the site is discussed in Section 4.0 and site characterization procedures are presented in Section 5.0. Soil conditions encountered in the boreholes are discussed in Section 6.0 and groundwater conditions in Section 7.0. The results of soil and groundwater analytical work are presented in Section 8.0 and Quality Assurance/Quality Control measures are discussed in Section 9.0. A discussion of the project results is included in Section 10.0. A variety of support information is included in the appendices: Figures are provided in Appendix A. Monitor Well Logs are located in Appendix B and laboratory certificates in Appendix C. Photographs of the site and surroundings taken during the fieldwork are included in Appendix D.
