GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. prepared a Geotechnical Report for the Building 107 Renovations at 19 3rd Street, Charlestown, Massachusetts. The project involves renovating the 1904-built, 20,598 sq ft building owned by the Navy and used by the National Parks Service, including adding new stairwells and elevators. Subsurface explorations using geophysical surveys, test borings, and test pits revealed a generalized profile of asphalt/concrete/topsoil, fill, peat, clay, and glacial till. Key findings include existing shallow spread footings, no pile support, and a compressible peat layer below footing depth. The report outlines three foundation support alternatives: overexcavating and replacing unsuitable soils, supporting new foundations on existing fill with risk mitigation, or using intermediate/deep foundations like Ductile Iron Piles or Helical Piles. Recommendations cover allowable bearing capacities, frost protection, earthwork, temporary earth support, retaining walls, demolition, underground utilities, and seismic design parameters. Construction monitoring by GZA is recommended for quality assurance.

Terracon Consultants, Inc. conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at 107 3rd Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, for Cotter Consulting Inc. The ESA, performed in accordance with ASTM E1527-21, aimed to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) for property redevelopment. Key findings include historical industrial use within the Charlestown Navy Yard, leading to urban fill and various historical releases (fuel oil, PCBs, metals, PAHs, dioxins) from underground storage tanks (USTs) and maintenance activities. Multiple Release Tracking Numbers (RTNs) from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) are associated with the site and vicinity, though many have achieved a 'No Significant Risk' status. Recent soil sampling revealed concentrations of Benzo(a)pyrene, Phenanthrene, Biphenyl, and lead exceeding Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) RCS-1 standards. While these levels are below MassDEP urban fill background concentrations and do not require MassDEP notification, they are considered a REC. The report recommends specific protocols for off-site disposal of surplus soil, prohibiting its use in residential areas or locations with direct soil access. Current site operations by the National Parks Service did not present new RECs.

Nover-Armstrong, a Division of BETA Group, Inc., conducted a Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey for Building 107 at the Charlestown Navy Yard, built in 1903. The survey, performed on February 21, 2019, identified several materials containing lead-based paint at or above 1.0 mg/cm2, including structural steel, wood walls, metal rails, staircases, brick walls, and window components. Many of these surfaces were in poor condition. The asbestos survey, conducted in February and March 2019, found non-friable asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), specifically in interior and exterior window frame caulking, with concentrations ranging from 3% to 6% asbestos. No friable ACMs were identified. Roofing materials were not sampled due to snow and ice. A PCB inspection on February 12, 2019, with supplemental sampling on March 12, 2019, found one instance of interior window frame caulking with a PCB concentration of 1 mg/kg, which is considered a Federally Excluded PCB Product. The report recommends specific handling and disposal procedures for lead-based paint and ACMs in accordance with OSHA and MassDEP regulations, and notes that PCB-containing materials can be managed as general construction waste.

This revised memorandum from GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. provides updated geotechnical design recommendations for the Building 107 Renovation project at 9 Third Street, Charlestown, Massachusetts.
