Does anyone happen to know the scope of the environmental cleanup required for the grocery store site? What kinds of contaminates are in the soil.
I happen to represent a company that offers cleanup products and services via bioremediation.
With the use of biotechnology-based solutions, we offer "Pay-for-Performance" solutions that treat the source of the environmental problem better, faster, cheaper and safer than conventional methods. |

Mr. Rosen,
RE: the clean up, shouldn't the contamination have been detected during the due dilligence that was performed prior to the sale? Who was responsible for overseeing this aspect of the sale and what litigation options is the town exploring to help mitigate the costs we now have to shoulder for clean up? |

CageyD: See the thread below titled "Trustee Meeting Agenda questions." Your question won't be answered as the trustees do not seem to want hold the town attorney or administrator accountable for the totally negligent lack of due diligence. |

CageyD: I have to be careful how I answer you because it is important that I NOT say something that in fact would interfere with the legal and other options that the BoT may wish to use as this process wends its way forward. That said, I feel that it is not necessarily the contamination itself that should have been dealt with in due diligence, but the protection against possible contamination, contamination costs, and contamination ramifications that had to be dealt with. We have been told publicly that in this case to some extent the definition of contamination depends upon the nature of the project that is put on the site. For example a food or super market does not require the excavation that the current developer wants to do for his garage and condos. Rest assure that the BoT has an open mind on the subject of accountability and liability, but it is not the clearcut situation that some people feel it is. |
