South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(3) continued… <br /> <br />cleanup. Their work is ongoing and they <br />have assured us that they want to continue <br />with the cleanup to its conclusion. We have <br />been working with our environmental legal <br />counsel, Plews Shadley Racher & Braun, to <br />make sure that the Commission is protected <br />from environmental liability on this property. <br />Following their recommendations we have a <br />Phase I Environmental Assessment that will <br />th <br />be completed before March 8 and are <br />expecting a letter from IDEM and/or U.S. <br />th <br />EPA by the 8 as well. A final <br />recommendation from legal counsel is that <br />we seek a “Comfort Letter” from the Indiana <br />Brownfields Program for this property. The <br />draft application for this letter is attached to <br />this memo. We will be discussing this <br />application with the Indiana Brownfields <br />Program this week so a Comfort Letter can <br />be issued prior to the date of deed transfer. <br /> <br />Once the Commission acquires title to the <br />property we will begin work on preparation <br />of demolition specs for the two buildings that <br />are on the property. IDEM will coordinate <br />their remaining remediation with our <br />demolition of the buildings. They have told <br />us that the only remaining remediation is to <br />excavate soil that is under the south building. <br />Our demolition of this building will enable <br />them to get to the problem area and take care <br />of this last item. <br /> <br />CA <br />Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by <br />OMMISSION APPROVED PPLICATION TO <br />IBP <br />NDIANA ROWNFIELDS ROGRAM FOR A <br />Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the <br />CL <br />OMFORT ETTER FOR PROPERTY BEING <br />Commission approved Application to Indiana <br />604S.SS( <br />ACQUIRED AT COTT TREET FORMER <br /> 73 <br /> <br />
