With all the good news regarding the property, there is somewhat of a setback however, as Daly said the city has recently learned from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that they did not receive the brown field assessment grant which he said, “would have helped us push along with the assessment and development plan of remediation.” Daly said the City is continuing working with the “Department of Toxic Substances Control on their voluntary clean up agreement process,” as the City must now develop a plan B.
Well, what is Plan B? Good question, Daly said. "A review of the workshops will be presented at the June 11th City Council meeting. The Council will be discussing the formation of a new committee to examine the use of the property in greater detail." In the meantime, staff will be meeting with DTSC to review the current soils information available for the property and discuss how much additional information and possible remediation may be required for partial to full use of the property.
