Progress Continues On Repairs To Fairfield's Penfield Pavilion

FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield First Selectman Bill Gerber recently gave the following update on the contaminated soil remediation project at the Penfield Pavilion:

Backfilling work to elevation 8’ under the locker room area has been completed and installation of the building skirting around this area has reached substantial completion. Two thirds of the main building is now sitting on its new foundations. The contractor is preparing to install helical piles and pour new concrete foundations under the last section of the main building.

Outside of the building footprint, framing for the new decks, ramps, and stairs are ongoing. To date we have removed approximately 95% of the contaminated fill from the site. The contaminated soil is being transported to licensed disposal facilities in accordance with environmental regulations and the Town’s Licensed Environmental Professionals.
