Contingencif Amount for the Purpose of Funding a Capital Project for the Remediation
of Second Street Park
Responsible Department: City Manager
As the Council is aware, same contamination most likely resulting from the prior operation of the Bangor
Gas Warks has been identified in Second Street Park. This was found as a result of our overall efforts in
determine the source and extent of coal tar deposits on the bed of the Penobscot Weer. The Gty has
prepared and submitted to the State Department of Environmental Protection a wluntary remediation
action plan to address the situation. Under this plan, a gectex0le fabric will he placed over those areas of
the park where action levels were found in our sampling. Clean fill and loam would then be placed over
the fabric. This will serve W seal the contaminated sail from contact.
Residents of the area have been notified of the situation and a neighborhood meeting was held at the
park an Thursday, May 1r to discuss the situation and the planned remediation steps with them. Those
in attendance were supportive of the proposed plan.
Engineering has estimated that this projM will require approximately $35,000 to complete. We Will
begin work as soon as approval is received from DEP.
This project was not anticipated in the current year's budget, and I would recommend that we use funds
from our contingency amount for this purpose. l ,
