The former BCF oil terminal clean-up and redevelopment is a high visibility project to clean up oil contaminated with PCBs adequately to return the property to New York City tax roles. The City of New York's office of Environmental Quality has been monitoring the project and included the project as a leading example of a practicable approach to reviving New York that was featured in the Mayors Plan for the City in 2030. Mr. Rhodes led all engineering and technical aspects of the project on behalf of the current property owner.

> Mr. Rhodes led the technical team to investigate and resolve a construction dispute over the party responsible for the cost of remediation of contamination encountered during the construction of a high rise tower. Mr. Rhodes's understanding of both construction and environmental issues was critical to the distinction of real from inflated costs, and important to the attorney who recovered over $3,000,000 for his client.
