r <br /> 3 <br /> concrete surfaces . <br /> Mayor Sundland introduced Daniel Tyson .. Attorney for. 14ETA <br /> Operating Limited Partnership, and invited him to address the <br /> Council . <br /> Mr . 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 around <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 .
