At Town Meeting several million dolloars was allocated for this task. The $200,000 Brownfield dollars would hardly be enough to do the job. It is my opinion that the million(s) allocated at the Town meeting also would not be enough to do the job. I somehow think that the direction that may be taken is to permanently fence off the so-called contaminated area permanently and then use the allocated monies to finish the work on the unplanned sewage problem. In well managed projects with contaminated land the remediation is done first and then the building proceeds in that order. In this case with remediation as executed on a newly built site there could be significant discovery of additional remediation requirements in and around the building site. For example, will the building need to be covered during remediation. This has the potential of costing the taxpayers much much more than announced as a plan last year. My best judgment is to close down the project. It was a bad deal then and it is a bad deal now. I know of no other alternative than to start the clean up by excavation as it is usually done.
