To the Honorable Board:

 

I hereby request, subject to the approval of your Honorable Board, an appropriation in the amount of $118,000 from the Trash Transfer Stabilization Fund for Excavation & Backfill of contaminated soil on Poplar Street. The remedial activity is to excavate the impacted soil in several areas of the site to be loaded, transported, and disposed of at a licensed disposal facility. This work will be performed under the direction of a Massachusetts Licensed Site Professional (LSP) already engaged for the project and in accordance with the provisions of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR 40.0000). Work will provide for temporary re-use of the site by the Somerville Arts Council for ArtFarm.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

 

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
