CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has completed a
Remediation Investigation Feasibility Study and signed a Record of
Decision in August 1993 for the cleanup of the Newmark Operable
Unit. This program was undertaken to cleanup solvents that are in
the groundwater within the Bunker Hill Basin.
The Water Department entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the
EPA to act as its contractor for certain activities necessary to
implement the cleanup program. Specifically, the Water Department
will be responsible for any land acquisition, pipeline installation
and well drilling.
Contaminants within the basin have reached as far south as the
Baseline Street area and the recommended project is to drill five
(5) wells to pump the contaminated water from the various strata
and create a barrier preventing the contaminants from migrating any
further into the basin. This pumping of contaminated water will
occur for a period of up to thirty (30) years. We have negotiated
the purchase of 217 East 11th Street for one of the well locations.
Once we are fully funded for construction of the wells, we will
improve the property to become an asset to the area.
It is recommended that the resolution be adopted accepting the
Grant Deed and dedicating the property for Water Department use.
URGENCY REQUEST:
In order to meet the requirements for closure of this escrow, it is
necessary that this item be placed on the March 4, 1996
Supplemental Agenda.
