COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM I <br /> Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum I! <br /> NO. 2004 - 46 �, <br /> June 22, 2004 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council <br /> FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager (.� II <br /> Stephen Swanson, P.E.,Director of Engineering & Infrastructure� <br /> Matthew C. Newell, P.E., City Engineer,,,t/l <br /> U� <br /> SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Agreement with Amoco Oil Company I <br /> 1725 South Franklin Street I <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: li <br /> It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing a I'i <br /> second amendment to the Tiered Approach to Corrective-Action Objectives (TACO) Agreement ! <br /> between the City and Amoco Oil Company and authorize the Mayor to execute the amendment. I <br /> BACKGROUND: �, <br /> On May 21, 2001, the City Council authorized the execution of a Highway Authority Agreement I <br /> in conjunction with Amoco's site remediation at 1725 S. Franklin Street. The remediation effort <br /> was undertaken as the result of a leaking underground storage tank(s) located on that property. <br /> An amendment to the original agreement was authorized by Council on April 1, 2002. <br /> The first amendment to the agreement revised the maps and tables attached to the original I <br /> agreement executed by the City in May, 2001. The second amendment also revises the maps and ' <br /> tables to reflect additional testing completed at the site. The additional information obtained by <br /> Amoco shows the contamination to be more extensive than originally projected. The first <br /> amendment indicated that contamination was contained largely within the gas station site. New <br /> test wells placed as a result of street work by the City have shown the possibility of a more <br /> extensive potential of contamination. ' <br /> Amoco is coordinating remediation work on the subject property with the Illinois Environmental <br /> Protection Agency (IEPA). The IEPA has advised Amoco that an acceptable and recommended <br /> means to comply with the Site Remediation Program is to obtain institutional control of those <br /> properties impacted by the subsurface contaminants that are not in Amoco's ownership. <br />
