Title/Name/Summary
Norman's Cleaners - Site Remediation Program
History
The Village has been working with Norman's Cleaners and Ed Cooney (environmental consultant) on the clean-up of the former Norman's Cleaners site. Last year, remediation work was completed and a report was submitted to the IEPA for review and approval. The Village also entered into a loan agreement with Norman's for the costs associated with the clean-up. Subsequently, the IEPA issued comments regarding the project and some additional work was required to be completed (see attached letter).
The scope of work included some additional excavation around the storm drains and haul off impacted soils to a landfill and then back-fill with clean soil. Additional sampling was also required to be collected and analyzed.
This work was completed late last year prior to the weather turning bad. The additional cost for this work was $9,851.29. Additionally, some paperwork will still need to be completed and submitted to the IEPA and Dry Cleaner fund. This additional work is estimated to not $4,000.
Since this exceeds the original budget amount for the project, is it necessary to get Village Board approval. These additional amounts will also be added to the loan that is due from Norman's Cleaners.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve an increase in the budget for Norman's Cleaners in the amount of $13,851.29 and to adjust the loan amount due from Norman's Cleaners for actual costs incurred and billed.
