Land Environmental was asked to intervene in a situation between our client and the City of Gainesville. The contractor asked us to evaluate using excavated soil from the Wetland Park site at another property about a mile away, (Depot Park). We advised our client to sample the soil and let us negotiate with the city so that this material could be transported a short distance and used on another city project. Our staff appealed to the City of Gainesville and confirmed that the soil was clean and free of contaminants. Following a meeting with our staff and our client, the city approved using the excavated soil from the Wetland Park and Depot Park. This saved our client significant time and money and made use of a local material that needed to be excavated and removed from the Wetland Park regardless. Visit the Sweetwater Wetland Park website
