Abstract

Environmental geology involves many geologic and technical factors when evaluating issues at a site. Working in established urban areas adds another layer of considerations and challenges. To highlight a range of challenges associated with urban environmental projects, a case study of a multifaceted site characterization, remediation, and restoration project at an 11-acre former industrial site in a historic district in St. Louis, Missouri will be presented. This case study includes six different end uses for the site and multiple concurrent remediation activities.
