Recommended Action
Resolution supporting the creation of a Municipal Setting Designation for a site located at 2800, 2804, 2806, 2810, 2814, 2816, 2820, 2824, 2828, 2830, 2832, 2834, and 2836 N. O’Connor Boulevard and 401, 403, and 407 W. Rochelle Road from applicant North O'Connor, Ltd. within the City of Irving.
Analysis
A state application for a municipal setting designation (MSD), prohibiting the use of groundwater, is being processed for property located at 2800, 2804, 2806, 2810, 2814, 2816, 2820, 2824, 2828, 2830, 2832, 2834, and 2836 N. O’Connor Boulevard and 401, 403, and 407 W. Rochelle Road within the City of Irving. The MSD process provides a procedure to receive state environmental closure on a property with contaminated shallow groundwater. In this particular situation, chlorinated solvents have been detected in the shallow groundwater below the MSD site from a former dry cleaning operation.
In addition to approval by the Irving City Council, granted on April 2, 2015, the applicant needs resolutions of support from all registered public water utilities within 5 miles of the applicant’s site. One of the City of Grand Prairie’s drinking water wells are within the 5 mile radius of the site, thus triggering the requirement for a resolution of support from the City Council. Public Works and Environmental Services staff have reviewed the applicant’s information and have determined that no threat exists to the city’s water wells. Approval of the resolution is recommended.
Financial Consideration
No impact upon the City of Grand Prairie.
