Structural
Unconsolidated fill
Couldn’t penetrate underlying clay
High foundation and pavement loads
Environmental
Human exposure mitigation (entire site)
Vapor intrusion mitigation (entire building)
Surrounded by Great lakes surface water
CHALLENGES
![Page 14: Mark J. Quimby Senior Project Consultantepa.ohio.gov/Portals/30/brownfield_conference/docs/2014...Indiana Michigan Ohio consultants in the environment, geosciences, and materials Mark](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb75858744c8f30bd238842/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Integrate structural and environmental
responses
Minimize and financing the extra costs
HOW DO WE?
![Page 15: Mark J. Quimby Senior Project Consultantepa.ohio.gov/Portals/30/brownfield_conference/docs/2014...Indiana Michigan Ohio consultants in the environment, geosciences, and materials Mark](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb75858744c8f30bd238842/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Structural issues
Building support
Pavement and external loads
Generate no excess fill/waste
Necessary environmental responses
Subslab vapor intrusion barriers
Human contact exposure barriers
Storm water detention pond liners
STRUCTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES
![Page 16: Mark J. Quimby Senior Project Consultantepa.ohio.gov/Portals/30/brownfield_conference/docs/2014...Indiana Michigan Ohio consultants in the environment, geosciences, and materials Mark](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb75858744c8f30bd238842/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Replace industrial wastes with
engineered fill
Driven conventional piles
Auger cast piles
Soil stabilization
Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)
Rammed Aggregate Piers
FOUNDATION STRATEGIES

CMC INSTALLATION

Structurally need cross-section to support
loads
Environmentally need contact barrier
Solution?
Exposure barrier “cap” that serves both
functions
All geotechnical and structural development
activities were classified as brownfield
redevelopment response actions to make
them eligible for brownfield financing using
EPA and state grants and loans
PAVEMENT AND LAYDOWN AREAS

BROWNFIELD FUNDING
![Page 20: Mark J. Quimby Senior Project Consultantepa.ohio.gov/Portals/30/brownfield_conference/docs/2014...Indiana Michigan Ohio consultants in the environment, geosciences, and materials Mark](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb75858744c8f30bd238842/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Building structural – needed for
redevelopment of a landfill and to protect
underlying aquifer
Engineered bases for pavement and
operations areas – needed for human
contact barrier
Vapor and contact barriers – human health
protection
Storm water detention pond liners – prevent
exacerbation by leaching

SUSTAINABLE APPROACHES AND LESSONS LEARNED
![Page 24: Mark J. Quimby Senior Project Consultantepa.ohio.gov/Portals/30/brownfield_conference/docs/2014...Indiana Michigan Ohio consultants in the environment, geosciences, and materials Mark](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb75858744c8f30bd238842/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Excess fill retained on site
Soil stabilization with no spoils
Minimal remediation – resources directed
to site development
Local contractors – minimal commuting
Minimal on-site engine idling
Use of biodiesel
SUSTAINABILITY

Quimby Senior Project Consultantepa.ohio.gov/Portals/30/brownfield_conference/docs/2014...Indiana Michigan Ohio consultants in the environment, geosciences, and materials Mark](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb75858744c8f30bd238842/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Integration of solutions for
environmental and structural challenges
was key to project success
Project would have been impossible
without public funding support at local,
state, and federal level
LESSONS LEARNED
