Explanation
Background:
Work is a follow up of previous Phase I ESA, Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment as well as pre-Voluntary Action Program (VAP) and Ohio EPA protocol. This Assessment will finalize the scope of work needed to be completed at Saunders Park. Community members have inquired about potential hazards associated with past land use when Recreation and Parks did not own the property. More specifically, a fertilizer plant was operated near the park property before it was acquired by Recreation and Parks. This Assessment will delineate potential risks, creating a plan of action in moving forward with park use and planning. Burgess and Niple have completed the previous field and laboratory investigations and are in conformance with the Ohio VAP protocol outlined under the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3745-300-07. The work under this contract requires special permitting and qualifications. Burgess & Niple were recommended to us, due to their previous experience, by the consultant contracted to do soil testing on Saunders Park. The recommendation was reviewed by the City Attorney's Office and approved.
