Grube, Director of Public Works Park Nicollet Medical Center Environmental Reports Synopsis: This report advises the Economic Development Authority (EDA) that staff and the EDA Attorney have taken receipt of a number of environmental reports submitted by the Park Nicollet Medical Center (Park Nicollet) and is in the process of document review before their release to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Background: In December, 1991 the MPCA and MedCenter, Inc. (MedCenter) entered into a Consent Order regarding the Old Beltline Dump near Excelsior Boulevard and Trunk Highway 100. The Consent Order required that certain investigations and remedial actions be conducted at the site. Consent Order activities included: 1. 2. Investigation of methane concentrations in soils on and adjacent to the Old Beltline Dump. Investigation of the St. Peter Aquifer in the vicinity of the Old Beltline Dump. 3. Investigation of subsurface soils in the vicinity of the Park Nicollet building which have exhibited a low pH condition (soils are within the Old Beltline Dump site). 4. Development of a groundwater pumpout system to control the movement of groundwater exiting the Old Beltline Dump site. Discussion: Discussions between Park Nicollet and Medcenter indicate that Park Nicollet may (or has) assume(d) responsibility for the Consent Order responsibilities. Over the past 12 months EDA staff and the EDA Attorney have been discussing the progress the Park Nicollet/MedCenter environmental consultant has made in each area, and on January 22, 1993 the consultant submitted reports addressing each of the issues. Staff and the EDA Attorney are in the process of reviewing the submittals and the EDA will receive a report concerning the information upon completion of the review process. sjk M I N U T E S E C O N O M I C D E V E L O P M E N T A U T H O R I T Y ST.

Commissioner Jacobs asked if the material was going to be removed or encapsulated and left on the premises. Mr. Grube said it would be encapsulated during the removal process. Removal from the site is the only option available to the Authority. Commissioner Dorfman ref erred to the bid results, noting the numbers were very divergent - from a low of $16,000 to a high of $56,000. She asked why this was. Mr. Grube said all the bidders were invited to attend a pre-bid conference at the site so they could examine the facility. The low bidder, Hazardous Material Abatement Corp., needed the work and was will i ng to use a sharp pencil to get the work. They met all qualifications, attended the pre-bid conference and had a second opportunity after the bid process to make sure they had not missed something. It was moved by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Dorfman, to authorize execution of a contract with Hazardous Materials Abatement Corp. in the amount of $16,185 for abatement of asbestos at the Wilkins site. _J The motion passed 4-0. These being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Interim Executive Director Vice President
