Two such sites are located on Godfrey Boulevard and Maine Avenue where there were underground storage tanks that were eventually removed. When the sole source of the contamination is the military it is known as a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) and the U. S. Government is responsible for remediation. Pursuant to the terms of a right of entry granted by the City in 2014 the Government installed monitoring wells. They are now ready to remove the wells and have requested a right of entry for a period of six months to do so. Because the Government intended to start, the process time was of the essence in getting the right to enter the property and, therefore, the Right of Entry was signed by the City Manager. This Resolve will approve and ratify the City Manager's execution of the Right of Entry.
