RT’s Environmental Work at the 1,000th Wawa Store, located in Springfield, PA

RT is proud to highlight our role in the development of the 1,000th Wawa store, located in Springfield, Pennsylvania. RT was brought in early to support this transformation and our team delivered a comprehensive suite of environmental services to ensure a successful redevelopment.

RT conducted environmental investigations and remediation support, including:

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA):

Our team reviewed historical records, regulatory databases, and site conditions to evaluate potential environmental concerns tied to the property’s long use as a motel which included multiple historic fuel oil underground storage tanks used to heat the onsite buildings.

Phase II Subsurface Investigations:

To further assess environmental risks, RT performed extensive Phase II work, including:

• Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey

• Groundwater sampling

• Soil sampling

• Soil vapor sampling

Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) Sampling:

Because the existing structures required demolition, RT completed a detailed ACM survey to support safe building removal and regulatory compliance.

For years, the former motel was a persistent challenge for the township. The township’s support, Wawa’s commitment to responsible development, and RT’s thorough environmental due diligence led to a smooth transition from blighted property to a community-serving destination. The new store not only symbolizes Wawa’s 1,000-location milestone, but also stands as a model for what can happen when municipalities and developers collaborate on thoughtful redevelopment.

The new Springfield Wawa isn’t just another stop for coffee and hoagies, it’s a meaningful reinvestment in the community, built on a foundation of safety, environmental integrity, and forward-thinking planning.

If your site requires environmental due diligence, investigation, or redevelopment support, RT is ready to help!
