into an event space and the gym will be converted into a theater/sports court.
A release from underground storage tank (UST) which is present on the property is believed to be the
source of contamination. The grant funds will be used for demolition, asbestos abatement,
underground storage tank removal, investigation and sampling, the removal, transport and disposal of
contaminated soils, industrial cleaning, and due care planning and implementation. Due care activities
may include the design and implementation of a vapor mitigation system.
