OLEAN — State environmental authorities are soliciting feedback on a  
proposal for the continued cleanup of three sites in the city’s  
brownfields.

From now until Dec. 30, the public can review plans by Olean  
Gateway, LLC, to cleanse the sites of contaminants and remove  
underground utility lines. The plans are available for viewing at the  
Olean Public Library.

The three properties, which take up approximately 60 acres of the 500- 
acre brownfield area in northern Olean, are owned by Exxon Mobil Corp.

According to a copy of the proposed plan, Olean Gateway intends to  
remove, clean or cap 94,500 feet of abandoned subsurface piping on  
the lots; excavate 5,400 cubic yards of contaminated soil; and  
install soil vapor extraction units to remove volatile organic  
compounds from the sites. At the third site, a 24.37-acre plot,  
another 4,200 yards of soil contaminated by lead, arsenic and  
petroleum products would be cleansed as well.
