We are <br />delighted to work with you as this important community project moves forward. We trust that the following <br />information identifies our mutual understanding of DLZ’s project scope. <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The CLIENT desires to continue with the demolition and site clearing of the former Drewry’s Brewery parcel <br />located on Elwood Drive near Portage Avenue. Refer to Exhibit A for the Project Limits. The intent of the <br />CLIENT is to remove the remaining building foundations along with the existing utilities and asphalt <br />pavement. All existing above ground improvements have been previously removed, with the exception of the <br />smokestack for the former Boiler House, which is to remain. DLZ anticipates that portions of the existing <br />foundations located adjacent to the smokestack may be required to remain in place. The CLIENT <br />acknowledges that the demolition/excavation activities’ impact on the existing smokestack is not known. The <br />structural integrity/stability of the smokestack may be compromised by the demolition/excavation activities <br />completed previously and included in this Project. DLZ cannot guarantee that the smokestack has not been <br />nor will be damaged during this Project. <br />DLZ is aware that the Indiana Brownfields Program issued a Comfort Letter (Brownfield #4000022) to the <br />CLIENT on June 29, 2023 that identified due care land-use restrictions as part of an Environmental Restrictive <br />Covenant (ERC). As part of the ERC, the CLIENT shall not allow excavation of soil at the Drewery’s Brewery <br />parcel without the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) approval of the work plan <br />and/or Soil Management Plan. Furthermore, the ERC requires that any soil that is removed, excavated, or <br />disturbed must be managed and disposed of in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and <br />regulations.
