Remediation of the Manufactured Gas Plant Site Neahwa Park, Oneonta, NY
Aerial photograph taken in 2005 of Neahwa Park. Baseball field in center is Damaschke Field. The former site of the MGP is the parking lot on the north side of Damaschke Field (north is up; image courtesy of NY State Orthoimagery program, 2005).
This web site is the product of investigations by an Environmental Geology class at SUNY College at Oneonta, NY in Spring 2008. The students identified aspects of the remediation that could be expanded on from the previous year’s class (which introduced the site, the problem, the general hydrology and geology, and provided a history of the site). In brief, this year’s students wanted to include more detailed delineation of the local geologic framework, present 3-D graphics of the site for visualization purposes, provide an update on the current status of the remediation, and explore the rationale behind the remediation (the Record of Decision, 2004). The links to these topics are provided below.
