AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving City's Financial Participation in Busy Bee Cleaners
Site Decommissioning ($47,188) and Appropriating Funds ($52,000)
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving City's financial participation in Busy Bee
Cleaners Site Decommissioning in the amount of $47,188 and
appropriating funds in the amount of $52,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During operation of the Busy Bee Cleaners, tetrachloroethene
(PCE) was recovered from dry cleaning process wastewater and
recycled. Some PCE was also routinely discharged into the
wastewater during normal operations. Dry cleaning operations ceased in 1996.
From 1989 through 2004, extensive site investigation activities were conducted to evaluate the degree
and size of PCE impacts to the subsurface at and near the site. In 2008, site cleanup commenced with
the startup of two remediation systems operated by E2C Remediation. Funding for the site cleanup was
provided by the Busy Bee Cleaners' insurance companies. In 2012, the remediation systems were shut
down as it was no longer cost-effective to operate the systems due to reduction of contaminants to very
low concentrations.
In 2013, the Site Decommissioning Workplan was approved by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board. The decommissioning work is complete and included the abandonment of one extraction well,
22 groundwater monitoring wells, 38 groundwater air sparge wells, and 29 vapor extraction wells. Piping
was abandoned in place, street and parking lot surfaces were restored, and the treatment equipment was
removed.
Previously, the City Council was informed about the Busy Bee Cleaners Site Cleanup and approved in
concept the City's financial participation in the decommissioning work. A summary of the
decommissioning costs shared by E2C, Unigard Insurance Company and the City is provided as
Attachment A. The estimated final City share of the decommissioning cost is $47,188. City Council is
requested to approve this expenditure from the Busy Bee Plume Fund. An appropriation of $52,000 is
requested that includes a 10% contingency.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Requested Appro riation: Busy Bee Plume Fund (192101)
