RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER the report on soil conditions at the parking lot behind 651 Pine Street.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the construction of the new parking lot behind 651 Pine Street samples of the soil uncovered once the old asphalt was removed were taken and analyzed. The samples were tested for a wide variety of both naturally occurring substances and potential contaminants. A total of 23 samples were taken from the parking lot area. No tested compounds exceeded the environmental screening levels for a commercial/industrial use. However a small number of samples showed levels of the naturally occurring metals lead and mercury to be above the screening level for residential use but still well below the screening level for a commercial/industrial use.
