Dirty Land Derails Cleantech Deal
“Our independent consultant’s analysis of the Cleantech campus determined there are ongoing environmental issues at the site that require additional remediation,” the firm in a statement. “While the city invested in a remediation effort of the property, environmental issues persist at the Cleantech site and adjoining areas. We remain very interested in this property but to date have not come to a resolution on how to address the environmental issue and have terminated our escrow on the property.” Soil tests have found two types of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, said Scanlin: perchlororethylene and trichloroethylene. According to fact sheets from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control, the chemicals are often used in degreasing metal. Prolonged exposure to perchlororethylene, according to the EPA document, can result in liver and kidney damage, among other conditions. Extended exposure to trichloroethylene, the CDC fact sheet says, can lead to complications affecting the central nervous system. Studies have also suggested that trichloroethylene may be associated with diseases including liver and kidney cancer. The discovery of contaminants on the property is not new. The city purchased the land from the state in April 2008 for $14 million with the aim of turning it into a hub for environmentally friendly manufacturing businesses. Although news reports several years ago said the city then spent $2.2 million to clean the property, Scanlin said no work has taken place, and that was actually money from the state which is set aside for future clean-up efforts. By September, the CRA took a new tack, and launched a public bidding process to find a developer. Seven firms responded by the December deadline. Then, partly because the loan was coming due and partly because of Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies in the state, the agency decided to look at an outright sale of the property instead of a development agreement.Railcar Repair Facilities - News
