WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) A city-owned property that is the current site of an environmental investigation will get another round of soil testing.
Tuesday night the Wausau City Council heard from City Public Works Director Eric Lindman regarding a budget modification for additional environmental testing at 1300 Cleveland Avenue. The city-owned property is currently the subject of an environmental investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, environmental consultant GEI, and the City.
The first round of soil testing taken at the site was done in October of 2020 with results having been presented to the Council at a Committee of the Whole meeting in February of 2021. Following that Committee of the Whole meeting, those working on the environmental investigation created a site work plan that recommended more soil testing in June.
