On April 25th, the Government Performance and Financial Management Committee recommended that the full Council approve $2 million to remediate the former Blue Star site to residential standards. In May, the Office of Environmental Quality and Sustainability (OEQS) expects to start an additional assessment of the property and enter the property into a state regulatory cleanup program. After receiving approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, OEQS plans to begin remediation of the site in the summer of 2023 and complete remediation in fiscal year 2023-2024.
“The purpose of this remediation is to better protect the health of our neighbors, particularly those that live immediately adjacent to the site,” said Carlos Evans, Director of the Office of Environmental Quality and Sustainability.
The recommendation will be heard by the full Council on May 11th.
