Raymark clean-up site continues in Stratford
The project manager of the Raymark consolidation clean-up site has provided an update on where the project currently stands.
According to James DiLorenzo, superfund project manager for the site:
"This remedy requires the construction of a highway-style barrier and haul road prior to the movement of Raymark Waste from Ferry Creek and various properties around Stratford through the former Contract Plating property to the former ballfield located on Frog Pond Lane. The waste will be consolidated with an existing 100,000 cubic yards of Raymark Waste already buried at the ball field and covered with a permanent cap to prevent direct exposure and storm water infiltration.
Barrier no.1 will be complete by March 27th. Construction of barrier no.2 (which is the temporary sound barrier behind Clinton Ave) has begun and is expected to be complete by late April. Construction of barrier no.3, which is the other permanent wall along Patterson Ave and Frog Pond Lane is now expected to begin in June. Prior to the start barrier no.3, an area of buried Raymark Waste in this area and behind the former press box must be excavated to provide a clean corridor to install barrier no.3. The barriers, fencing and haul road are all still scheduled for completion this summer."
