• Draft Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) – outlines cleanup and environmental management alternatives and the recommended remediation for the Site based on historical Phase II ESA activities completed at the Site. 

Copies of the above-referenced documents and correspondence are part of the administrative record of the Site and are placed in the public repository that is available at Citizens Square, Suite 320, Fort Wayne, Indiana.  A public meeting has been scheduled for October 30, 2023 from 2 pm to 3 pm at Science Central, 1950 N Clinton Street, to discuss this project.
