Tyson informed the Council that META had met with the PCA <br /> a week before the last Planning Commission meeting, and that <br /> the PCA had requested additional soil. sample drilling based <br /> on the fact .that preliminary drilling had revealed ground <br /> contamination in the vicinity of the tanks as deep as 24 feet <br /> below the surface . Mr . Tyson stated that META' s consultant <br /> provided a report to META on July 20th recommending a <br /> remedial investigation work plan . The plan would cost <br /> approximately $20 , 000 and would include the installation of <br /> three monitoring wells and the location of three additional <br /> tests to detect the presence of additional contaminants .
