35-60   Purpose
The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Cleburn Street Well Superfund Site on June 7, 1996, which identified three sources of subsurface soil and groundwater contamination. These sources included the former One Hour Martinizing facility, Liberty Cleaners and Shirt Launderers, and Ideal Cleaners. The former Nebraska Solvent Company was identified as a possible fourth contamination source subject to subsequent evaluation and testing. The ROD described selected remedies for the three source areas, an element of which required the City of Grand Island to enact and enforce institutional control ordinances designating a Groundwater Control Area No. 1 in which groundwater use would be restricted to prevent human exposure and consumption of potentially contaminated groundwater, requiring registration of existing wells and requiring approval and registration of new wells. The institutional control ordinances are to remain in full force and effect until the groundwater contamination identified in the ROD is reduced to a level making the groundwater safe to be used as a source of drinking water pursuant to 42 USC §300g, et seq., the Safe Drinking Water Act, or its successor legislation.
