OHC was responsible for the environmental studies and remediation of the Cecil Field Naval Air Station under the Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) contract, which was performed in preparation for commercial development into the Cecil Commerce Business Center. OHC was responsible for conducting all the initial studies for underground storage tanks, and for the presence of asbestos, lead and/or hazardous materials in over 100 buildings, the central steam plant, and associated steam lines. Upon completion of the assessments, OHC developed the abatement/remediation specifications for the identified material remediation activities, structures demolition, and site restoration. OHC conducted all the waste characterizations in compliance with RCRA and performed a cost analysis to determine the most economical means to abate and recycle the construction debris generated from the rehabilitation activity.
