RE: Cleanup Complete at Cedar Services Site -Reply

[KEARY CRAGAN <CRAGAN.KEARY@epamail.epa.gov>]

Mr. Gillon,

If you read the subject heading and the article
itself, you will understand that the only success
that EPA claims is site "clean-up", not
redevelopment.  Additionally, EPA has
expressed it willingness to cooperate with
prospective purchasers to facilitate
redevelopment.  

Would you prefer that the site remained
contaminated or that EPA refuse to negotiate
with prospective purchasers?  Am I confused
or are you actually complaining that EPA is
doing its job??

This is an interesting announcement in that EPA
is claiming they have
accomplished a redevelopment of a brownfield
when all that has occurred is
that EPA completed a routine soil removal
action for $750,000.  If the
announcement is correct, there was no
redevelopment and certainly no end
user.  EPA has merely left behind a vacant lot
with a lot less soil.
