Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City wants to evaluate redevelopment options for 22 acres of the 32 acre HIAD site on South Park Road. Previous environmental assessments have identified contaminants of concern (COCs) in soil (benzoapyrene toxic equivalents, arsenic, lead and dioxins) and in ground water (arsenic) at concentrations above cleanup target levels. Our consultant Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. will prepare an engineering feasibility study for the redevelopment of the site. The feasibility study will evaluate the geotechnical, environmental, economic and planning aspects of various development options. Resolution No. R-2014-153 amended the Environmental Services Fund setting aside $240,000.00 for an Environmental Study for this project. Funding will be made available as part of the Fiscal Year 2015 Budget subject to the approval of the companion item to this Resolution which authorizes the Authorization to Proceed to implement the study.
