716 W. Kearney Remediation

The 716 W. Kearney Remediation project, managed by the City of Fresno Planning and Development Department, involves environmental contaminant abatement at an existing hangar within the Fresno Chandler Executive Airport. The scope of work includes the complete abatement of asbestos and lead-based paint, as well as the excavation and off-site disposal of approximately 140 cubic yards of lead-impacted soils from the upper three feet of a 3.34-acre site. The project is funded via a loan agreement of 385,500 dollars and is classified as a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15330/Class 30 for minor cleanup actions. Contractors must adhere to the Cleanup Work Plan prepared by Stantec Consulting Services and maintain strict compliance with OSHA regulations and all applicable state and local environmental permitting requirements, including air and water quality standards. A Construction Safety Plan must be submitted to the City prior to the start of any abatement activities. Key administrative contacts for the project include Projects Administrator David Densley and Supervising Planner Chris Lang.
