Commission approves site-access agreement for environmental investigation by BLDI Inc.
Summary
The commission approved a site access agreement allowing BLDI Inc. to install monitoring wells and sample groundwater on city right-of-way near Harrington Street; staff said the city will not pay for the investigation and reports filed with regulators must be provided to the city.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved a site-access agreement permitting BLDI Inc. (Michigan Environmental Consulting Corporation) to perform an environmental investigation on city right-of-way near the intersection of Harrington Street and Southbound Gratiot Avenue.
City staff described the work as a standard investigation—often adjacent to a gas station—to determine whether groundwater is affected by contamination. A company representative explained these investigations are commonly done either by a current owner or a former owner seeking to address potential liability.
Commissioners asked whether the city would pay for the work; staff confirmed the city would not be paying for the investigation. The representative said governmental reports submitted to regulators would be made available to the city upon request.
A motion to approve the site-access agreement was moved, supported and adopted by the commission. Staff said the contractor must restore the site to as close to its current condition as possible after installing monitoring wells and taking samples.
