Oyster
Bay Clean Up: “No Walk In The Park”
Oyster Bay, NY - June 1,
2007
Since 2003 residents
of Oyster Bay have had limited access to one of their
oldest and most popular parks due to contaminated
soil that posed an environmental risk. During that
time access to The Bethpage Community Park was strictly
limited to paved areas only.
The team given
the responsibility of getting the park cleaned and
able to re-open again was Posillico Environmental.
With roots in Long Island, and a reputation for solving
complex environmental issues, Posillico was tasked
with the major clean-up and restoration effort. Before
on site work began, the town cited 130,000 tons of
hazardous and non-hazardous soils throughout the park
that needed to be excavated. In the early phase of
the project however, Posillico discovered an additional
45,000 tons of soil that needed to be remediated,
bringing the total volume to a whopping 175,000 tons.
