Engineering, Permitting, and Construction Services for Biscayne Commons Brownfields Site Redevelopment
The 12-acre Biscayne Commons site was originally part of a "mosquito marsh" along the upper end of Biscayne Bay. The site became a source of fill material during the South Florida coastal development boom, and became an uncontrolled dump for construction debris and solid waste. The site was also impacted by potential off-site groundwater contamination issues associated with the 290-acre, immediately adjacent Munisport Landfill site, a former NPL site. The site was targeted for redevelopment with the goal of transforming the site into a commercial/retail center anchored by a major retail tenant. Taubco Development, through its legal advisor, charged Geosyntec with developing a geotechnical engineering and environmental regulatory compliance strategy to make the site available for use as a commercial property.
