National Grid previously awarded the remediation of the Glen Cove former Manufactured Gas Plant site to Posillico Environmental, Inc. of Farmingdale, New York (Posillico).  Posillico will be completing the excavation portion of the overall site remedy as described in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation approved Remedial Action Plan.  National Grid has retained AECOM to provide Construction Management services during the remedial action.  GEI will be the Design Engineers of record, act as Environmental Consultants for the remedial execution phase and perform site wide air monitoring.   Due to logistical constraints associated with the ongoing operations of the substation, National Grid had postponed the remedial project work to the coming fall. 

The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) previously installed a temporary utility pole outside of the excavation area.  This pole will temporarily replace the one located within the excavation area.  The completion of the power reroute will be undertaken in the near future once the cables are transferred, which at this time is scheduled for mid September. 

Work on the Substation will commence on or about September 15th. Within the next 2-3 weeks, residents will begin noticing some activities occurring at the site.  It is expected that the remediation activities will take approximately 60 days to complete.  Work will be conducted Monday-Friday from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM. The City of Glen Cove has authorized a daytime parking ban from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM Monday through Fridays for approximately 50 feet on each side of the entry to the site at the corners of Grove and Stanco Streets.  This ban will provide adequate space for trucks entering and leaving the Site. No Parking signs will be posted. The ban will be enforced by the Glen Cove police.

The Phase I Remedial Action Work Plan has been finalized, and will soon be added to the project website where it can be viewed at any time by all interested parties.
