A. Presentation-Semco Update

Chris Jones, Barr Engineering and Amanda Hoag, Semco Energy gave a

presentation on the environmental clean-up for 216 N. Eaton Street. Ms. Jones

stated the clean-up has been completed except for two small areas which will

now be “restricted” areas and no further action will be taken. The N. Eaton Street

roadway and a small area next to the fire barn. She stated the only exposure to

the restricted area would be through utilities management and precautions would

need to be taken. This will also be a no-build area. Signs will be posted for the

restricted areas. The City of Albion and Semco have also agreed to place a valve

on the end of the street for water shut-off in case of a water main break.

Semco is asking for an agreement with the City of Albion to be approved at the

December 1st council meeting. This agreement will be sent to the Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality for approval. The City of Albion’s attorney

along with the environmental attorney have both reviewed the agreement and

approve the language. The Albion Building Authority will have a declaration of

restrictive covenant to approve for the area next to the Fire Barn. This declaration

has been reviewed by the environmental attorney.
