City Council Approves Certified Survey Map Amendment Amidst Contaminated Soil Remediation Discussions

The City Council reviewed a Certified Survey Map (CSM) amendment related to a property with contaminated soils. The CSM parcels out land between two parties, allocating a portion to the city for a Riverwalk trail and another to a developer. Remedial actions for contaminated soils are governed by a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) agreed upon with the DNR, which affects site design and requires vapor barriers and venting systems. Funding for remediation is a partnership between the county, state, and federal government, with a grant through the EPA that reduces the city's previously allocated costs. The costs for remediation have been factored into various project plans, including street construction, site development, and stream bank restoration, with a grant also provided by WEDC for the Riverwalk.
