REMOVED PER STAFF REQUEST
B. Expanded Use of Public Property During COVID-19 Emergency City
Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and limited
occupancy business are facing, staff is requesting approval to administratively
review and approve requests for City businesses to expand seating and retail
areas onto portions of public property.
Page 3 of 6
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected businesses across the City in
unprecedented ways. It is anticipated that businesses will be allowed to re-
open in our region soon. Current guidance and executive orders are
indicating that when businesses re-open they will be faced with reduced
occupancy limits. Many businesses, especially restaurants and bars, operate
on slim profit margins and depend on their normal occupancy levels to
remain profitable.
Communities across the country are pursuing various ways to allow
businesses to gain additional occupancy by expanding outdoors. While
businesses would still be required to maintain proper social distancing
standards outdoors, this can allow customers to be in an open-air setting
which is believed to carry less risk while also allowing the business to make up
some of their lost indoor seating or retail space.
Many businesses across the City are contiguous to public property and the
City has a unique opportunity to allow businesses to expand their footprint
onto public property, including sidewalks, parking spaces, and streets.
The Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) has changed their rules to
allow for a “Limited Permanent Outdoor Service Area”. Recently, 18th
Amendment has approached the City and asked for approval to use public
property to expand their seating area, including the use of the street. The
MLCC’s application requires local governmental authorization to use the
public property as part of the application review. These applications are only
approved through the fall season and expire October 31, 2020.
It is anticipated that other liquor license holders will also wish to use public
property to expand. It is also anticipated that additional restaurants or retail
businesses will also wish to do the same.
Staff is recommending that we allow interested businesses to request
approval to expand onto public property in order to help them get closer to
or reach their normal occupancy level. This could include city streets in some
areas. Due to every day being critical to business success this summer and
fall, staff is requesting your approval for staff review and approval of these
requests.
Each business owner would be required to list the City as an additional
insured and submit a site plan showing their requested use of public space.
The site plan would need to include how pedestrian traffic and ADA
accessibility will be maintained. Those requesting approval of public space
for liquor purposes will be required to follow all MLCC rules related to securing
the approved area with barriers, monitoring exits, and intoxicated persons.
The Directors of Public Safety, Development Services, Public Works, and City
Manager will review each request for approval.
Attached is a proposed plan to use public space along Western Ave between 2
Page 4 of 6
and 3rd as well as 4th and 5th. Other areas of the Downtown and City are also
open to review. Staff recognizes that not all businesses may be able to be
accommodated or expand onto public property but staff’s goal is to be as
flexible as possible to support as many businesses that wish to make a request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize City staff to approve reasonable use
of public property to allow business owners to expand their seating or retail
footprint during the COVID-19 virus protection period in the summer and fall of
2020, provided the Directors of Public Safety, Municipal Services, Public Works,
and City Manager concur on the approval, and the approvals expire October
31, 2020.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, second by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga,
to authorize City staff to approve reasonable use of public property to allow
business owners to expand their seating or retail footprint during COVID-19 virus
protection period in the summer and fall of 2020, provided the Directors of Public
Safety, Municipal Services, Public Works, and City Manager concur on the
approval, and the approvals expire October 31, 2020.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Hood, Ramsey, German, Rinsema-Sybenga, Emory, Johnson,
and Gawron
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
C. Purchase Agreement – 188 4th Street City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City Staff is seeking authorization to enter into a
purchase agreement for 1188 4th Street.
1188 4th Street was a regular area of concern among neighbors. In an attempt
to help mitigate the concerns, the City purchased the property and completed
a renovation. The property was listed on the MLS for $229,900; an offer was
accepted for $225,000. Staff is seeking permission to approve the purchase
agreement and complete the sale. Note that his property is part of the
scattered site brownfield project. Any difference in sales price and renovation
will be recovered via tax capture.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manger to sign the purchase
agreement and complete the sale.
Motion by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga, second by Commissioner Johnson,
to authorize the City Manager to sign the purchase agreement and complete
the sale.

Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to issue a notice to proceed for the work to clean and paint the railroad
bridge over Seaway Drive between Laketon Avenue and Hackley Avenue.
Detailed Summary:
Bids for the project were previously approved at the February 25th, 2020 Commission Meeting with the
low bid from Seaway Painting being approved in the amount of $68,385.00. Staff has prepared the
contract documents with Seaway Painting but has not issued the notice to proceed at this time pending
review of the private fundraising campaign for the project.
Fundraising us still ongoing. A Patronicity crowdfunding campaign is expected to begin in June. A
number of commitments have been made, but in order to receive the matching dollars from Patronicity,
those donations cannot be finalized until the campaign commences. It is anticipated that the City’s
contribution will be $10,000-$15,0000 in cash towards the Seaway Painting contract from the Public
Improvement Fund. In addition to the cash contribution the City will provide in-kind services in the
form of traffic control for the work, which is estimated to cost $6,497.36. (Attachment)
In parallel to the cleaning and coating work the Muskegon City Public Art Initiative has begun the
search for an artist to complete murals on the bridges and will be ready to proceed with the mural work
upon completion of the cleaning and coating project. The mural work is not expected to require any
additional cash contribution on behalf of the city but would again require an in-kind donation in the
form of traffic control services for the project, estimated at approximately the same amount as for the
initial cleaning and coating.
MDOT has been engaged on the project and has agreed to participate in the form of reimbursement
for a portion of the traffic control costs from the cities state trunk line budget. The exact amount is yet
to be determined.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL for RAILROAD BRIDGE MURALS
DESCRIPTION OF THE PUBLIC ART COMMISSION
The MuskegonCity Public Art Initiative [MCPAI] is seeking to commission an artist or artist
team to create original, contemporary, inclusive, celebratory, and engaging murals to be painted
directly on the railroad bridge over Seaway Drive [US Business 31] between Laketon Avenue and
Hackley Avenue within the City of Muskegon, referred hereafter as the City Bridge and on a second
bridge located between Sherman Avenue and Broadway, also on Seaway Drive [US Business 31] and
within the governmental entities of Norton Shores and Muskegon Heights, referred hereafter as the
NS/HTS bridge.
There are four sides to the two bridges; therefore we are ultimately looking for four artists or
artist teams for this work. The first bridge to be commissioned for murals is the City Bridge, and it is
expected that this work will be done in September 2020. At this time, it has not yet been determined if
the NS/HTS Bridge will be commissioned now or for the spring of 2021, but likely the spring of 2021.
We invite concepts and themes that celebrate our community, its diversity and resiliency, our
natural resources and our beautiful surroundings. Designs may be abstract, conceptual, and/or
representational. We will not accept designs that reflect political issues, sex, violence, alcohol, drugs,
or religious themes.. In addition, per MDOT requirements, artwork cannot promote commercial
products, messages or services of any kind; contain religious, political, private or special interest
symbols, trade names, slogans or websites; include illumination that impairs or distracts driver vision;
display blinking, intermittent or moving lights, including digital displays or LED displays; or include
moving elements, including kinetic art or other devices.
The City Bridge is approximately 9.5 ft high x 210 ft long abutment to abutment. It is not
necessary that a design for the mural go from end to end, but that it is required that it is scaled
appropriately for the space. The design can be done all as one or can be done in sections but read as
one. We are planning for an early September time frame for the murals to be completed directly on the
City Bridge. The NS/HTS Bridge is approximately 8 ft 2 in high by 108 ft long. The timing for the
commissions for this bridge are to be determined. However, the method and time frames for
completion are the same.
The selected artists will have two weeks to complete the mural. The roadway will be closed in
two stages, which is illustrated in one of the attachments to this RFP and described as follows:
Week One: we close the outside lanes of both bounds of Seaway Drive and the artist paints
from the center line of each road out to the abutments on both sides of the bridge.
Week Two: we close the inside lanes of both bounds and the artist paints the length of the
bridge between the center lines of northbound and southbound Seaway Drive.
Attached to this brief are photos and drawings of both bridges, as well as a photo to illustrate the road
closure, and a photo of the type of equipment that the artist would use to reach the overpass.
DESCRIPTION OF LOCATION
The City Bridge is located between Laketon and Hackley Avenues on Seaway Drive, US
Business 31, in the City of Muskegon. This is the first bridge that we plan to commission.
The NS/HTS Bridge is located between Sherman Avenue and Broadway on Seaway Drive, US
Business 31. Norton Shores and Muskegon Heights share responsibility for this bridge.

COMMISSION BUDGET
Two commissions, $8,000 per mural for the City Bridge, will be awarded to the chosen artists
later this summer. Two commission, $7,000 per mural for the NS/HTS Bridge, will be awarded to the
chosen artists in the early spring of 2021. This commission is inclusive of all costs related to proposal
research, development, community and agency meeting costs, design, paint, materials, and supplies,
photography, insurance, and artist travel to Muskegon to paint the murals.
The bridge surfaces will be cleaned, primed, and painted with a coat of a urethane-based paint
by the City prior to the painting of the murals. The governmental units, in partnership with the MCPAI,
is responsible for the expense of the road closures and for the cost of equipment rental to be used to
access the bridge surfaces. The current plan for equipment is to secure a Stevenson-Crane-Service-
JLG-450AJ-Articulating-boom-lift for the artist to use. [Picture is attached to this RFP.] In addition,
the MC-PAI will supply the artists with the sealant to be used to coat the murals. If lodging is
necessary to house an artist for the duration of the project, the MC-PAI will arrange and cover the
costs.
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
The proposal for this commission must include:
1. Well-developed scale drawings or digital renderings of the artist’s proposed design which

EVALUATION CRITERIA
The proposal will be evaluated by the following criteria:
1. Artistic excellence and originality as evidenced by representations of past work images and
other supporting materials;
2. Successful completion of all aspects requested as part of this RFP;
3. Appropriateness of artist’s medium and style as it relates to project goals and setting;
4. Prior experience with projects of a similar scale and scope; and
5. Availability to participate in the design and implementation of the project as required.
Previous experience in developing large scale public works of art and murals is a prerequisite for being
considered for this project. In addition, the Committee may also take into consideration when selecting
artists whether or not an artist is already represented in Muskegon’s collection of public art.
TIMELINE & PROJECT SCHEDULE
Proposals must be received by June 26, 2020. You may email proposals to:
judyhayner@gmail.com. Please submit all materials as PDFs. Questions may be emailed to Hayner,
who will answer and distribute answers to the entire list of invited artists.
The Review Committee will narrow the applicants to a pool of finalists who may be invited to
be interviewed for this project. In the event that the Committee wishes to interview the finalists, artists
will be given a travel stipend for travel to Muskegon for this purpose.
It is anticipated that a contract for the City Bridge commission will be executed by August of
2020; a specific time frame for the painting of the mural is to be determined, but for the City Bridge,
our goal is September. The Committee plans to choose from the submitted proposals the artists for the
NS/HTS Bridge at the same time although the NS/HTS Bridge may be a spring of 2021 project.
NOTIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS
The Project Director and the Committee reserves the all rights to choose the artists for this
project. Once a decision on the commission has been reached and the final budget is known, the
MuskegonCity Public Art Initiative will immediately initiate the campaign to raise funds for the
project. Once at least 50% of the funds are secured, the MC-PAI will enter into a commission contract.
Notification of the intent of the MC-PAI to commission artist(s) for the City Bridge project will
be issued in July 2020. It is expected that a contract will be issued shortly thereafter. As previously
stated, the decision and timelines for the NS/HTS Bridge are to be determined.
NOTICE
The MuskegonCity Public Art Initiative reserves the right to modify the project timeline, if necessary..
MC-PAI also reserves the right to reject any or all applications or proposals, to reject any finalist, and

Brownfield Plan, 1000-1060 West Western
Avenue
Submitted By: Dave Alexander Department: Economic Development
Brief Summary: To hold a public hearing on the request for a Brownfield Plan Amendment for
Harbor West LLC (Hartshorn Village) and to consider the attached resolution.
Detailed Summary: Harbor West LLC proposes a Brownfield Amendment for 1000, 1010 and 1060
West Western Avenue for its first phase of the Hartshorn Village residential site condominiums.
The $5 million+ initial investment is for the first 10 of an expected approximately 50 units. The
former Shaw-Walker Co. parking lot was sold by the city to Harbor West in 2018. The initial $5.597
million brownfield plan is a local-only property tax capture. State eligible environmental costs are
$250,000, $19,500 for demolition, $626,000 for site preparation and $3.946 million for
infrastructure improvements. The majority of the infrastructure costs ($3.502 million) are to
upgrade the city’s adjacent Hartshorn Marina and for a joint-use pool and clubhouse for the condo
owners and marina slip holders. The sales and development agreement between the city and
Harbor West calls for the city to provide the buyer up to $600,000 for brownfield eligible costs. The
city would receive the first $600,000 of property tax capture, then Harbor West for its remaining
eligible costs and finally with the marina upgrade being covered last. There is a 15 percent
contingency in the plan, no request for interest borrowing and it is a 30-year plan. The plan allows
for a continued five-year capture of tax increments for a local Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund if
there is time left in the 30 years after all eligible costs are covered. There is an annual $10,000
administrative fee paid to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. The BRA approved the Harbor
West Brownfield Amendment at its May 12, 2020 meeting.

I. INTRODUCTION
In order to promote the revitalization of commercial, industrial, and residential properties
within the boundaries of the City of Muskegon (the “City”), the City established the City
of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the “Authority”) pursuant to Act 381,
Public Acts of Michigan, as amended (“Act 381”) and a resolution adopted by the
Muskegon City Commission on February 10, 1998. Terms defined in Act 381 and
applicable sections of the statute are noted in italics throughout this document.
This Brownfield Plan (“Plan”) was originally intended to address the redevelopment of
eligible properties within the City that are impacted by the presence of hazardous
substances in concentrations that exceed Michigan’s Part 201 Generic Cleanup Criteria
(“facilities”) or that have been determined to be Functionally Obsolete or Blighted. By
facilitating redevelopment of underutilized eligible properties, the Plan is intended to
promote economic growth for the benefit of the residents of the City and all taxing units
located within and benefited by the Authority.
This Plan is intended to be a living document, which can be amended as necessary to
achieve the purposes of Act 381. It is specifically anticipated that properties will be
continually added to the Plan as new projects are identified. The Plan contains general
provisions applicable to the Plan, as well as property-specific information for each
project. The applicable Sections of Act 381 are noted throughout the Plan for reference
purposes.
This Brownfield Plan contains the information required by Section 13(2) of Act 381, as
amended. Additional information is available from the Muskegon City Manager or the
Director of Planning and Economic Development.
II. GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Costs of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(2)(a))
Any site-specific costs of implementing this Plan are described in the site-specific
section of the Plan. Site-specific sources of funding may include tax increment financing
revenue generated from new development on eligible brownfield properties, state and
federal grant or loan funds, and/or private parties. Where private parties finance the
costs of eligible activities under the Plan, tax increment revenues may be used to
reimburse the private parties. The initial costs related to preparation of the Brownfield
Plan were funded by the City’s general fund. Subsequent amendments to the Plan may
be funded by the person requesting inclusion of a project in the Plan, and if eligible, may
be reimbursed through tax increment financing.
The Authority intends to pay for administrative costs and all of the things necessary or
convenient to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Authority with fees charged to
applicants to be included in the Plan, and any eligible tax increment revenues collected
pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with the provisions of Act 381, including, but not
limited to:
i) the cost of financial tracking and auditing the funds of the Authority,
1 5/7/2020
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
Harbor West, LLC Development Project
ii) costs for amending and/or updating the Plan, including legal fees, and
iii) costs for Plan implementation
Tax increment revenues that may be generated and captured by this Plan are identified
in the site-specific sections of this Plan.
B. Method for Financing Costs of Plan and Bonded Indebtedness (Section
13(2)(d) and (e))
The City or Authority may incur some debt on a site-specific basis. Please refer to the
site-specific section of this Plan for details on any debt to be incurred by the City or
Authority. When a property proposed for inclusion in the Plan is in an area where tax
increment financing is a viable option, the Authority intends to enter into Development
and Reimbursement Agreements with the property owners/developers of properties
included in the Plan to reimburse them for the costs of eligible activities undertaken
pursuant to the Plan. Financing arrangements will be specified in the Development and
Reimbursement Agreement, and also identified in the Site Specific section of the Plan.
C. Duration of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(2)(f))
The Plan, as it applies to a specific eligible property, shall be effective up to five (5)
years after the year in which the total amount of any tax increment revenue captured is
equal to the total costs of eligible activities attributable to the specific property, or thirty
(30) years from the date of first tax capture under the Plan as it relates to an individual
site, whichever is less. The total costs of eligible activities include the cost of principal
and interest on any note or obligation issued by the Authority to pay for the costs of
eligible activities, the reasonable costs of a Work Plan, the actual costs of the Michigan
Environmental Great Lakes & Energy or Michigan Strategic Fund’s review of the Work
Plan and implementation of the eligible activities, as applicable.
D. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible Properties
(Section 13(2)(i),(j)(k)(l)
At this time, eligible properties identified in the Plan do not contain residences, nor are
there any current plans or intentions by the City for identifying eligible properties that will
require the relocation of the residences. Therefore the provisions of Section 13(2)(i-l)
are not applicable at this time.
E. Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (Section 8; Section 13(5)(b))
Whenever the Plan includes a property for which taxes will be captured through Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) provided by Act 381, it is the Authority's intent to establish a
Local Brownfield Revolving Fund ("Fund"). The Fund will consist of tax increment
revenues that exceed the costs of eligible activities incurred on an eligible property, as
specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381. Section 13(5) authorizes the capture of TIF from
an eligible property for up to 5 years after the time that capture is required for the
purposes of reimbursing the costs of eligible activities identified in the Plan. It is the
intention of the Authority to continue to capture tax increment revenues for 5 years after
eligible activities are funded from those properties identified for tax capture in the Plan,
2 5/7/2020
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
Harbor West, LLC Development Project
provided that the time frame allowed by Act 381 for tax capture is sufficient to
accommodate capture to capitalize a Fund. The amount of school operating taxes
captured for the Fund will be limited to the amount of school operating taxes captured for
eligible department specific activities under the Plan. It may also include funds
appropriated or otherwise made available from public or private sources.
The Fund may be used to reimburse the Authority, the City, and private parties for the
costs of eligible activities at eligible properties and other costs as permitted by Act 381.
It may also be used for eligible activities on an eligible property for which there is no
ability to capture tax increment revenues. The establishment of the Fund will provide
additional flexibility to the Authority in facilitating redevelopment of brownfield properties
by providing another source of financing for necessary eligible activities.
III. SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Z. Harbor West, LLC Development Project
Eligibility and Project Description (Sec. 13(2)(h))
Project Description
Harbor West, LLC (“Harbor West”) intends to develop approximately 3.01 acres of land
located at 1000, 1010 and 1060 West Western Avenue in Muskegon, MI (the “Property”)
into residential site condominiums (the “Project”). The Project will include the
construction of an initial ten (10) new market-rate site condominiums, associated site
improvements and marina improvements to the adjacent Hartshorn Marina located at
920 West Western Avenue (“Marina Property”). The Project will include department
specific activities, demolition, site preparation and infrastructure improvement activities
in order to prepare the Property and Marina Property for redevelopment. A proposed
site plan is included in Attachment Z-2.
It is anticipated that the Plan will be amended at a later date to include additional costs
for future phases of development. The estimated total capital investment to complete
Phase I of the Project is estimated to be approximately $5+ million.
The eligible property included in this Plan consists of four parcels of property totaling
15.41 acres in the City of Muskegon, Michigan (see Attachment Z-3).
This eligible property includes all existing real and all new taxable personal property.
Eligibility
The 1000 West Western property meets the definition of a “facility” as defined by Part
201 of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994) due to the
presence of select metals found in shallow soil intervals that are consistent with area-
wide contaminated historical fill. Total mercury, copper, arsenic, selenium, and silver
were detected in shallow soil throughout the area exceeding the groundwater surface
water interface protection criteria, while arsenic concentrations also exceeding the
residential drinking water and direct contact criterion. The 920, 1010 and 1060 West
3 5/7/2020
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
Harbor West, LLC Development Project
Western parcels are adjacent and contiguous to the 1000 West Western property and
development of these parcels is expected to increase its taxable value. Therefore, the
parcels are considered “eligible property” under Act 381.
Eligible Activities, Financing, Cost of Plan (Sec. 13(2)(a), (b), (c), (g))
It is intended that the amended Plan shall provide for reimbursement of eligible activities
conducted on the Property and Marina Property, including department specific activities
(i.e. Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment and Due Care), demolition, site
preparation, infrastructure improvements, brownfield plan/work plan preparation and
development, including all associated professional fees. TIF revenues generated from
the Project will first be used to reimburse the cost of eligible activities undertaken by the
developer and City of Muskegon, in accordance with a development and reimbursement
agreement to be executed by the parties. Following full reimbursement of the eligible
activities included in this Plan, TIF generated by the Property may be used for any other
purpose allowable under Act 381 and the Plan.
The following are eligible activities that may be reimbursed through TIF revenues:

1. INTRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION
A. Owner/Operator Information
Current Owner: Harbor West LLC
B. Intended Use of Property
Harbor West LLC purchased the property on October 30, 2018, and intends to develop the subject
property with multiple condominiums.
The subject property location map and site plan are included in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
C. Phase I ESA Summary Recognized Environmental Conditions
Recognized environmental conditions (RECs) were identified in the June 22, 2018, Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report conducted by Envirologic. These RECs include the
following:
Previous environmental studies have demonstrated the presence of contaminants at
and surrounding area.
The former Shaw-Walker/Lakeview Industrial Center property located across W. Western
Avenue to the south represents a vapor encroachment threat based on the former
detections of both chlorinated and petroleum-related contaminants in soil and
groundwater.
D. Exceptions/Deletions from ASTM 1527-05
No exceptions to or deletions from the ASTM 1527-13 Phase I ESA standard have been identified
in the June 22, 2018, Phase I ESA.
E. Phase I ESA Data Gaps Discussion
A data gap is the inability to obtain information within the scope of the Phase I ESA. No data gaps
were encountered for the Phase I ESA.
A data failure is the absence of information typically used to complete a Phase I ESA. No data
failures were encountered for the Phase I ESA.
1
F. Sampling Discussion Purpose/Methods
On October 24 25, 2017, Envirologic initiated and completed field activities at the subject
property in order to characterize soil and groundwater conditions. These activities included the
installation of nine soil borings located at various locations across the subject property based on a
proposed preliminary site plan layout. The boring locations were selected based on the locations
of various features shown in the preliminary site plan, such as residencies (GP-1 through GP-7), a
playground (GP-9), and a swimming pool (GP-8). Activities also included the collection of shallow
soil samples (6 inches below the ground surface) in order to characterize soils for direct contact
exposures. Deeper soil samples (approximately 2 6 feet below the ground surface) were collected
to better characterize the historically contaminated fill-type soils at the subject property and in
the surrounding Muskegon Lake area. Because of previous environmental investigations that
identified the presence of trichloroethene and vinyl chloride in groundwater, groundwater
samples were collected from temporary monitoring wells that were installed in each of the soil
borings. All the soil samples were submitted for analysis of select metals and polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs, method 8270), and all of the groundwater samples were submitted
for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis (method 8260). Soil samples were not analyzed for
VOCs since there was no evidence of VOC impact such as significant photoionization detector
(PID) readings, staining, odors, etc. in soil.
A review of the soil analytical results indicates that the detection of PNAs was limited to one
boring location, GP-1, located in the northwest corner of the subject property. The reported
concentrations of the 10 PNA constituents detected do not exceed any current MDEQ Residential
or Non-Residential cleanup criterion. Select metals were detected in each of the soil samples
collected. Of those metals detected, total mercury, copper, arsenic, selenium, and silver were
detected in concentrations exceeding the groundwater surface water interface protection criteria;
the concentration of arsenic also exceeded the residential drinking water and direct contact
criterion.
The Phase II ESA laboratory analytical results demonstrate that the subject property meets the
, 201 of NREPA.
G. Known Contamination Locations and Environmental Media
Soil contaminants detected on the subject property exceeding cleanup criteria were found site-
wide at all nine soil boring locations and included arsenic, copper, selenium, silver, and mercury.
Selenium concentrations exceed cleanup criteria in every boring except GP-6, located in the
2
eastern portion of the property beneath proposed residencies. Silver concentrations exceed
cleanup criteria in every boring except GP-9, located in the central portion of the property at a
proposed playground area. Both arsenic and copper concentrations exceed cleanup criteria in two
boring locations: GP-2, located beneath proposed residencies in the northwest portion of the
property, and GP-5, located beneath proposed residences in the eastern portion of the property.
The only detection of mercury on the property was also an exceedance. The mercury exceedance
was detected at GP-7, located near the eastern property boundary, beneath proposed residencies.
The known contamination on the property is consistent with the findings of the 2008 *C88#71'
D+)!7$'07+#EF%G+'033+338+&$'!H'I%3$!7%"'J%--'!H'(C3K+:!&' #K+'*/!7+-%&+;'(C3K+:!&;'(%"/%:#&'
prepared by Environmental Resources Management and Superior Environmental Corp. This
previous study identified the presence of contaminated historic fill soils along the Muskegon Lake
Shoreline and included samples collected from the subject property.
The presence of arsenic, copper, selenium, silver, and mercury detected in soil at concentrations
that exceed current Part 201 generic residential cleanup criteria and screening levels
demonstrates that the subject property has been
of the NREPA.
Refer to Figure 2 for a site plan detailing the sample locations and concentrations of contaminants
identified in association with the subject property.
