Landfill Capping and Post-Closure Monitoring

Pare supported the Town of Barrington, RI in the capping and post-closure monitoring of two landfills. Pare performed site investigations to determine the necessary actions to archive the sites from the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Compensation Liability Information System (CERCLIS), prepare the Remedial Action Work & Landfill Closure Plans, and assess the impacts of potential future uses. From this, Pare designed a low-permeability soil cap & gas ventilation system and made recommendations for an Environmental Land Use Restriction (ELUR) system. For Landfill #4, Pare incorporated stormwater resilience planning into the design using two sediment forebays, swales, a bioretention area, two detention basins, and landscaping. The landfills are currently being used for passive recreation.

University of Rhode Island / South County Bike Path Connector

Pare designed the new 1.85-mile, $2.9 million South County Bike Path Connector which connects the University of Rhode Island’s Kingston campus to the towns of Wakefield and Narragansett. Pare incorporated a multi-faceted stormwater management strategy into the design which includes vegetated filter strips, catch basins with deep sumps and outlet hoods, tree box filters, bioretention areas, and pervious pavement. Pare’s design also included the state’s second HAWK traffic beacon (High-intensity Activated crossWalK beacon) at the Route 138 crossing as an additional safety measure.
