Time: 6pm
Background:
Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), City of South Bend, and Honeywell International Inc., entered into an agreement to remediate areas within LaSalle Park with high levels of lead after extensive sampling by the City and Honeywell. Soil samples identified subsurface lead at the site, which will be the focus of the remediation efforts. Lead does not easily migrate to other underground areas. These samples found no other environmental contaminants that need to be remediated.
The Work Plan calls for removal of topsoil and subsoil to be replaced with new, clean soil in certain areas of LaSalle Park’s open ground area. Similar soil removal and replacement will occur in two nearby non-City owned properties. EPA’s approval of the Work Plan is incorporated into a Consent Agreement in which City and Honeywell agree to perform the work detailed in the Work Plan. In the Consent Agreement, neither the City nor Honeywell admit any liability for the past contamination.
