State offers $60,000 for environmental assessment of 200 South site
Summary
Fillmore officials were told the state will provide $60,000 to evaluate and potentially remediate construction and other dumped materials on a city parcel east of the 200 South overpass to prepare it for future development.
City staff reported that when the 200 South overpass was constructed, the city parcel immediately east of the overpass was used to dump construction waste and has since received additional dumping. The city does not know what materials remain underground; the State is willing to provide $60,000 to conduct an environmental site assessment and, following evaluation, remediate the site so it can be directed to potential residential or commercial development.
Wayne Jackson presented the background on the site and told the council the state funding would make it easier for the city to market the property to developers once environmental concerns are addressed. The minutes record the $60,000 state offer but do not specify a remediation timeline or detailed cost-sharing terms.
