MBC Minutes 8 -6-96 There was discussion on the removal of the oil tank at the Robinson. The Superintendent stated that the School Department will be responsible for the removal of the tank. What is the status of the site? There is some contaminated soil and this needs to be removed to the most reasonable certainty.

A unit price will have to be addressed in the contract in the event that additional contaminated soil is found. Is a new fuel tank part of the chapter 60 work? This needs to be defined as soon as possible. Does the tank need to be removed because of the leak in the line or would it be because of the Chapter 60 work? The existing tank is being removed to accommodate the footprint of the new building. The only problem is with the removal of the contaminated soil. This work must be done by 12/31/96.
