Although the proposals were positive and provided an <br />additional range of housing options in the neighborhood,the developers were notpreparedto <br />commit to purchasing the site due to the undetermined level of environmental cleanup <br />possibly associated with the site. <br />�.? The District completed a Phase I investigation through Braun Intertec Corporation on <br />September 16, 2004. The Phase I report recommended that additional soil testing be <br />conducted to more fully identify possible environmental contamination associated with a <br />former underground storage tanl� and on-site sewer septic system. <br />�; ,,� A proposal to complete the Phase II investigation from Braun Intertec was provided to the <br />Mounds View School District with a total cost of $19,968. The grantrequires that there be a <br />25°/o match from the applicant. Since the City would be the applicant we would be <br />responsible for that 25°/o cost. However, the Mounds View School District has agreed to <br />cover the 25°/o match as indicated in the attached letter from John Maas dated October 19, <br />2004 contingent upon final School Board approval expected on October 26,2004. <br />RCA MVSD DEED Cleanup Grant (10/25/04) - Page 1 of 2 <br />
