City reports testing progress on Thomas Street infill; draft report expected in November
Summary
Wausau public works staff reported progress on test wells for the Thomas Street infill project and said a draft laboratory report is expected by the end of October with a view to receiving a copy in November.
Wausau Public Works staff told the Economic Development Committee on Oct. 7 that test wells for the Thomas Street infill project were drilled in August and that lab results are pending. Public works director Eric Lindeman said the DNR contact expects a draft report by the end of October and that the city anticipates receiving it in November.
Staff described the project as moving "slowly and painfully" but said the presence of lab data and continued DNR cooperation represent forward progress. No formal action was taken; the committee received the update.
What happened: Test wells drilled and lab analysis under way; draft results expected by the end of October with a formal copy to be available in November.
Why it matters: The infill project involves environmental testing and remediation steps that will affect timing of redevelopment and any future site work.
Next steps: Staff will return with lab results and further analysis to committee once the draft is available.
