Gary Carter, P.E., C.E.M., and Daniel Burns, P.G., C.E.M. of the Las Vegas, Nevada office of Kleinfelder recently published an article titled “Las Vegas Brownfield Readied for Green Revitalization” in the October 2008 issue of Urban Land Magazine. The article can be viewed by Urban Land Institute members on line at http://www.uli.org.
The article outlines the development and use of a site-wide soil management plan completed by Kleinfelder for 61 acres of a former rail yard and maintenance facility. The site, known as Union Park, is in the process of being converted into a green urban destination complete with a towering skyline. The article describes how the plan defines proper handling and documentation of each soil classification, source locations and the purpose of removal. The plan also outlines groundwater management requirements for each parcel on the site, as well as recommended groundwater management techniques. The article also points out how the plan reduces the chance of soil-related challenges down the road that might slow the project completion.
