Petroleum Release Investigation at Langley AFB, Virginia. dpSTUDIO completed an Initial Site Assessment and Initial Abatement Measures Report at a portion of the flight line at Langley Air Force Base. The site assessment was requested by Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) in response to discovery of a fuel release. The investigation, which included a ground penetrating radar survey and soil & groundwater sampling, allowed Langley AFB to obtain regulatory closure and a No Further Action Letter (NFA) from VDEQ. |

NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and National Ocean Service (NOS) Support. dpSTUDIO is in the midst of a 4-year, $650,000+ subcontract with Lynker Technologies to support NOAA NOS with research, equipment testing & analysis, deployment, and monitoring of oceanographic instrumentation throughout the US and territories for water level, currents, tides and other data that are critical to navigation and commerce. Our history with NOAA goes back several years. Beginning in 2010, dpSTUDIO was Project Principal for a series of subcontracts to provide technical and scientific support services and staff to track and monitor populations of important fish species within NOAA’s Greater Atlantic Region Fisheries Office (GARFO) labs and port offices from Maine to Virginia. dpSTUDIO principals also supported contracts with NOAA NOS under multi-year blanket purchase agreements involving more than 20 contract staff based in Chesapeake, VA and Seattle, WA.

Phase I ESA and GW Investigation at Charlotte, NC Industrial Park - dpSTUDIO conducted a pre-acquisition Phase I ESA for an industrial property located within the former Charlotte Naval Ammunition Depot (CNAD), a WWII-era ammunition plant where heavy use of trichloroethylene (TCE) degreasing solvents led to localized groundwater contamination that is being addressed at portions of the former CNAD under the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) program. The subject property had limited suspected contamination from TCE, toluene, and methylene chloride, which was further addressed through groundwater sampling and analysis for VOCs. |

Permit Support for Norfolk Naval Shipyard Construction of Pier 5. This project, as a subcontractor to Moffatt & Nichol, involved all the water quality permitting and dredge spoil assessment and remediation related to demolition of two existing piers and construction of a new pier large enough to accommodate all current and future Navy vessels, including the Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) class of aircraft carrier. Mr. Papa managed the handling of all hazardous materials related to this $350M construction project and handling and disposal of an anticipated 600,000 cu yds of dredge material and specifications used to later bid the construction.

dpSTUDIO served as Project Manager for a U.S. EPA-funded Brownfield Assessment grant and later wrote the winning grant application to secure subsequent grants ($200k for Petroleum sites and $200K for hazardous sites) in the City of Hampton. More than 50 projects were completed, including multiple assessments for the 75-acre former Virginia School for Deaf and Blind. Services at this c. 1909 multi-structure institutional campus began with a Phase I ESA and a comprehensive Phase II that included asbestos & lead paint surveys; sampling of PCB-contaminated electrical transformers; and soil & groundwater investigation for underground storage tanks (USTs). Followup activities included UST removal, perimeter air sampling, and development of remedial action and demolition plans.
