South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — September 13, 2011 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />(3) continued... <br />assessment performed at that site and later <br />acquired the site. The Phase I assessment <br />identified a Recognized Environmental <br />Condition caused by leakage from a former <br />6,000 gallon underground storage tank <br />(UST). When this UST was removed in <br />2003, the levels of certain petroleum based <br />chemicals were above residential levels. No <br />soil testing has been completed since. <br />On June 28, 2011, the Commission approved <br />an Agreement for Sale of Land for Private <br />Development with David Matthews for this <br />site. This development will include <br />residential town homes. <br />Because the soil has not been tested for <br />approximately eight years, and because of the <br />site's proximity to the river, it is possible the <br />chemical levels are now below residential <br />levels. A Phase II assessment is needed to <br />determine the environmental status now. <br />This Phase II will include a Ground <br />Penetrating Radar Survey; four Geoprobe <br />soil samples, testing two soil samples from <br />each; and a Geoprobe well installation for <br />ground water testing. The fee for services is <br />a cost not to exceed $6,535. Staff requests <br />approval. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved Proposal for Phase II <br />Environmental Assessment of former <br />Troeger Sheet Metal site by Wightman Petrie <br />in the not -to- exceed amount of $6,535. <br />7 <br />COMMISSION APPROVED PROPOSAL FOR PHASE <br />II ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF FORMER <br />TROEGER SHEET METAL SITE BY WIGHTMAN <br />PETRIE IN THE NOT -TO- EXCEED AMOUNT OF <br />$6,535. <br />
