South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—April 10, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (4) Proposal for Groundwater Sampling in <br /> the Studebaker Area north of Sample St. <br /> Ms. Kolata noted that Ignition Park is <br /> enrolled in the Indiana Department of <br /> Environmental Management's Voluntary <br /> Remediation Program (VRP). Now that all <br /> previous structures have been removed, we <br /> need to submit a Remediation Work Plan to <br /> VRP by the end of June. This Work Plan <br /> will describe the environmental conditions at <br /> the site and our proposed remediation plan. <br /> Some environmental remediation and soil <br /> sampling has taken place as buildings have <br /> been demolished. However the groundwater <br /> has not been sampled in a number of years. <br /> Hull & Associates has submitted a proposal <br /> in the amount of$56,702 to perform the <br /> groundwater sampling using temporary <br /> sampling techniques. Once sampling results <br /> are received, Hull may propose the <br /> installation of permanent groundwater <br /> monitoring wells. That would be covered by <br /> a separate proposal from Hull. <br /> The staff recommendation is to approve the <br /> proposal from Hull & Associates in the <br /> amount of$56,702. This will allow us to <br /> move forward with the groundwater <br /> sampling in order to submit our Remediation <br /> Work Plan to IDEM by the June 30 deadline. <br /> Mr. Downes asked if the plan for the <br /> monitoring wells was needed before June 30, <br /> 2012. Ms. Kolata responded that the <br /> monitoring needs to be done now, so the plan <br /> can be submitted by June 30, using the <br /> information provided by the testing. <br /> 24 <br />
