We need a complete hearing to answer critical questions about contamination under the Eden Housing site.
Livermore City Council approved $245,000 thousand dollars for more testing. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Clean-up activities will require a separate contract. Clean-up would involve the installation and monitoring of extraction wells, blowers, and possible soil excavation. What are total cleanup costs, including monitoring for several years? A million? More than a million? The City report says funding will come from Capital Improvement Funds. But who funds Capital Improvement Funds? Does this come from the General Fund? If so, this means current residents ---not Eden--- are going to pay for clean-up. Residents may want their tax dollars to be spent on other projects. We need a complete breakdown of funding sources and amounts. Â
