Once-toxic N.Y. site to become healthcare facility

Radiology clinic in Brighton Beach was formerly a brownfield


A once-toxic Brighton Beach, N.Y., brownfield site will be developed into a radiology clinic, according to an article on the Brooklyn Daily website.

The new owners of the former dry cleaning business recently concluded an exhaustive clean-up funded through the state’s Brownfield Cleanup Program, and plan to open a five-story medical-imaging facility on the lot.

As part of the cleanup, contractors dug out and hauled away contaminated soil from the site down to 10 feet below the sidewalk, treated groundwater with oxidants to remove toxins, and covered the lot with concrete slabs.

Contractors also used a system by which underground chemicals are converted into vapor, and then treated before being released into the atmosphere, according to the report.
