The proposed Project will facilitate groundwater monitoring needed to satisfy state permitting requirements for IPR projects.

Work includes drilling two borings to a maximum depth of approximately 400 feet, retrieving soil cores for analysis, and constructing up to five monitoring wells at various depths in the two borings. To comply with the City's noise ordinance, a temporary sound wall will be constructed. The Project also includes parking lot restriping and resurfacing following completion of drilling.
