<br />upgrades to the public infrastructure (roads, sewers, water mains, stounwater ponding, parks, trails). Barr <br />has also been assisting the city with acquisition, condemnation, and relocation efforts of the existing <br />property owners. Once the properties are acquired, Barr has been assisting the city with hazardous <br />substance survcys (asbestos, lead paint, etc.), developing specifications for demolition of buildings, and <br />providing construction observation for the demolition work. In order to implement the MPCA-approved <br />response action plan, Ban' assisted the city with delineating the wetlands that are present on the project, <br />and we are guiding the project through the appropriate protected-waters permitting requirements with <br />local, state, and federal regulatory authorities. <br /> <br />Currently, the estimated environmental cleanup cost in support of the entire redevelopment is <br />approximately $15 million, and the planned redevelopment is estimated to increase the property values on <br />the NW Quadrant from approximately $15 million to more than $250 million. We have assisted the city <br />in obtaining more than $5.6 million in grant funding (Petrofund, Minnesota Department of Employment <br />and Economic Development, Metropolitan Council, USEPA Brownfields, and Ramsey County <br />Environmental Response Fund) for the environmental cleanup and the city is planning on pursuing <br />additional funding as the redevelopment progresses. <br /> <br />Cleanup has been completed and residential redevelopment construction has begun on approximately 25 <br />percent of the NW Quadrant Redevelopment Area. The planning, cleanup, and redevelopment efforts will <br />continue for the next several years for the rest of the NW Quadrant Redevelopment Area. <br /> <br />222335 <br /> <br />Barr Engineering Company <br />
