Project
KEG’s scope of work included completing a Preliminary Environmental Site Assessment (PESA) to document natural and man-made hazards that may be encountered as a result of the project. KEG utilized environmental database results to screen 38 sites along the project area for potential hazards. Of the 38 sites, eight contained Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), while 31 contained de minimis conditions only (potential lead paint, asbestos, or use of herbicides/pesticides). The PESA was approved in February 2020.
