| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| The Department of Environmental Protection has indicated it will search for an on-site source of contamination, clean up the contaminated soil to the extent practical and ensure that an adequate supply of clean drinking water is provided. It is assumed that this will be accomplished by installing a filter to remove contaminants from the existing well water or drilling a new well. The department would not need to purchase the property since it is confident the property owners can be provided with clean water. | ||||||
