This historic brownfield site whichwas contaminating Carn- egie’s soil and groundwater is now a bustling Get-Go gasoline station and convenience store, and the site is no longer an ongoing concern for the com- munity. This development was made possible because of Giant Eagle’s willingness to address environmental problems and ability to turn a site into a more productive reuse, their use of a local consultant familiar with the benefits that PADEP pro- grams provide, and the Act 2 Land Recycling Program.

The potential for vapor intrusion into onsite and nearby buildings was also evaluated and found not to be of concern. Upon the conclusion of groundwater monitoring, an Act 2 Final Report will be prepared which will document the environmental issues en- countered, and demonstrate that a site-specific standard has been attained for petroleum compounds in soil and ground- water at the site. Despite all of the challenges, Act 2 made it possible for this site to be redeveloped concurrently with remediation activities, a major benefit of the program.
