Working under a master services agreement for environmental consulting services, H2M provided consulting support during the decommissioning and demolition of a 15-acre power generating station in Nassau County, NY. Services included the closure of a Major Petroleum Facility License (MPFL)/Major Oil Storage Facility (MOSF) license, closure of the facility State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit, and approximately 25 associated process and stormwater outfalls, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) closure of the facility’s former hazardous waste operations, structural and seismic monitoring for an adjoining building, and electrical substation during demolition, and spill remediation. The station had four separate units powered by coal, No. 6 fuel oil, and/or natural gas. The purpose of the MPFL closure was to eliminate the post-closure maintenance of all fuel-oil systems and eliminate the potential for any post-closure releases of fuel-oil to the environment.
