RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City is not charging for the Revocable Permit because the testing will not interfere with the use of the City-owned property and the short duration needed to conduct the sample collection. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 225 Maple Street, LLC, owns the property located at 225 Maple Street which is the location for Haiston Oil Company, Incorporated. Haiston Oil Company has relocated its business from this location, and has removed its petroleum storage tanks from the site. In order to complete the regulatory process regarding the storage tanks, an environmental investigation is required. As part of the environmental investigation,Haiston Oil's consultant,CGRS,Inc.,has requested a revocable permit to collect soil samples on City-owned property at 220 North Howes Street,which is adjacent to its property. CGRS,Inc. anticipates the soil boring process will take approximately 2 to 3 hours. CGRS may also need to do testing within the building at 220 North Howes,or in the public right-of- way adjacent to 220 North Howes and 225 Maple Street. All costs associated with the soil boring and tests will be the responsibility of CGRS, Inc. All lab results from the tests will be provided to the City at no cost. The City is in negotiations to acquire 225 Maple Street. BACKGROUND The soil boring will be drilled approximately 15 to 20 feet below the surface of the ground and will take two to three hours. All costs associated with the soil boring and tests will be the responsibility of CGRS, Inc. All lab results from the tests will be provided to the City at no cost. Utility locates will be scheduled prior to any drilling. City staff has reviewed the proposal and has agreed to the request. October 7, 2008 -2- Item No. 23 ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map.
