2350 south Raritan. Soils in and around the site have been contaminated by
high levels of lead. These have been independently confinred by the City's

Inc. in violation of state Law. In order to proceed with the street
constr,Jction or otherwise continue to use the street, it is necessary to take
reitedial action to neutralize said contamination and also to avoid statutory
liability, i.e. penalty.

waste in an enviroml!lltally sound manner, and the maMer chosen shall be
approved by the Colorado Departrrent of Heal th.
