Builder shows home plans

THE PRESS-ENTERPRISE


NORCO - About 20 residents met Thursday with developer St. Clair Co. to
discuss plans to build 368 homes on Wyle Laboratories property -- land
that many residents fear is too contaminated for development.

The developer outlined plans for the 429-acre project, which would
include $500,000 to $600,000 homes on half-acre lots and a neighborhood
creekside horse trail. The presentation was the start of a long campaign
to assure the public that the land at Wyle will be safe before building
begins.

"There is soil and groundwater contamination," said David Hudson, St.
Clair spokesman. Wyle is responsible for cleaning the land before
building can begin, he said.

Wyle Laboratories Inc., which built its Norco facility in 1957, is
authorized to test warheads and missiles, and to handle hazardous
materials and low-level radioactive substances. St. Clair bought the
property in November, and Wyle could move out within the next 14 months.
