IEPA concerns flagged for Lena Subway parking lot; Village may need repairs before sale
Summary
Brian Nott reported the IEPA flagged landscaping and surface installation at the Lena Subway parking lot as potential leakage risks; raised planters and repairs were discussed and the Village may be responsible for remediation to preserve future saleability.
Village staff member Brian Nott told the Committee the Illinois EPA generally inspects sites every five years and that the Lena Subway property was flagged for landscaping and surface-installation issues that could allow leakage. The minutes note that the hard cap surface was installed in 2013 and that the Village is responsible for the parking lot, which could be covered under HMA; if no repairs are made, it could complicate a future sale of the property.
Nott said raised planters were discussed as a potential mitigation approach and that environmental compliance is a precondition for marketability. No repair contract or funding source was approved at the Aug. 25 meeting; Nott will follow up with more information.
