Recommendation(s): |
That the Council receive the staff report and consultant’s presentation.
Overview: The purpose of this item is to provide the Council with additional information about steps that can be taken to begin addressing the coal materials at the police station property at 828 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The Manager’s recommended budget includes $315,000 to clean up, manage and continue monitoring coal combustion products (CCPs) in the area of the police station property closest to Bolin Creek. This budget item represents a near-term investment to begin addressing CCPs closest to the creek and to maximize safety for people using the Bolin Creek Greenway. The Town’s work with a toxicologist and recent testing of the area have led to additional near-term options for consideration. A detailed description of each option is presented in the attached staff report. Depending on the future goals for the property, we will know how much of the contaminated materials must be removed and what the appropriate long-term remediation steps should be.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: The proposed budget item for interim remedial measures is $315,000.
