- Description
- Sole source for Cedarville Associates, LLC for urban soil taxonomy The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the Cedarville Engineering Group, LLC, in order to assist the EPA in Urban Soils Survey and Hydrologic Characterization Work for Sustainable Use of Vacant Land. Post-industrial cities share the problems of ageing civic and water infrastructure, a depleted tax base and underserved populations lacking in basic environmental services and opportunity. On the other hand, these same urban core areas possess significant natural resource capitals in terms of what are presently unmanaged vacant lots, riparian areas, and culverted stream systems. Due to the expense of legal actions against large cities for violations of the Clean Water Act (1972) for combined sewer overflows, governmental authorities have started to look for ways of managing storm flows without resorting to traditional, capital-intensive wastew ater infrastructure. One option to decrease the storm flow quantity is to use vacant land and its soil pore space for detention of excess storm water runoff volume.
