A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APROVING
THE CITY'S FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION IN THE BUSY BEE
CLEANERS SITE DECOMMISSIONING AND FURTHER
APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, during operation of the Busy Bee Cleaners, tetrachloroethene (PCE) was
recovered from dry cleaning process wastewater and recycled; however, some PCE was
routinely discharged into the wastewater during normal operations; and
WHEREAS, 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. 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;
and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends approval of the City's financial participation in the site
decommissioning in the amount of $47,188 and appropriation of $52,000 to include a 10%
contingency.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
the City's financial participation in the Busy Bee Cleaners site decommissioning in the amount
of $47,188; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funds in the amount of $52,000 be appropriated from
the Busy Bee Plume Fund.
