Site work for a water / sewer project in Cumberland, Rhode Island. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

An abandoned underground storage tank (UST) was discovered at the site of the former Amaral Building at 16 Mill Street, Cumberland, Rhode Island (the Site). The parcel containing the UST is identified as Plat 002, Map 0096, Lot 000 as is owned by the Town of Cumberland. The building at the Site is currently vacant and was previously used as street-level retail with a residential apartment on the second floor. Site topography is relatively flat and slopes gradually down to the south towards Mill Street and the Blackstone River. The UST is assumed to be a 1,000-gallon former #2 heating oil tank that is estimated to be half full of fuel oil. The UST location is shown on attached Figure 1. GZA observed the top of the tank to be approximately 2 feet below the ground surface. The contractor should assume groundwater will not be encountered during the work. The Town is seeking a qualified contractor to clean and remove the UST in accordance with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management's Rules and Regulations for Underground Storage Facilities Used for Regulated Substances and Hazardous Materials (UST Regulations) dated January 2023 and the attached construction specifications. The Town will be responsible for pumping out the oil in the tank.
