Return to Project pageBack in the early 1950’s, Philadelphia was surrounded by Nike anti-aircraft/missile military installations. Over the years they became defunct and where abandoned. This installation was converted to a golf course that went out of business.
Pennington Property Group, LLC is cleaning up the hazardous soil and converting the site to open space and residential areas. The clean up of this 50-acre area required 12,000 cy of mushroom compost. Pennington Property Group utilized 3 Tubeline Nitro 525RS manure spreaders to disperse the compost. The compost was subsequently incorporated with the topsoil and seeded in the fall with substantial re-vegetation showing in the spring.
