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 once the cables are transferred. This work is scheduled for this week.
Work on the Substation will fully commence on or about September 27th. Beginning September 20th, residents may begin noticing preliminary pre-mobilization 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 and the ban will be enforced by the Glen Cove police. Flyers outlining the parking changes will be distributed next week.
A fact sheet summarizing the project and its impacts to the residents will also be mailed to residents prior to the beginning of work.
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.
