Title
Access Agreement with Honeywell International, Inc. for Groundwater and Soil Vapor Well Monitoring at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (Ordinance S-52474) - District 8
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an access agreement with Honeywell International, Inc. (Honeywell) for access to Aviation Department-owned land located on and north of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport for the purpose of installing and monitoring groundwater and soil vapor wells.
Report
Summary
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the City of Phoenix required Honeywell to install wells on Aviation Department-owned land located within the existing Super Fund Site known as "Motorola 52nd Street Super Fund Site" to monitor and remediate releases of petroleum hydrocarbon products from underground storage tanks at a Honeywell facility that have migrated onto Aviation Department-owned land. The Aviation Department and Honeywell previously entered into similar access agreements, which have expired, to install and monitor wells on Aviation Department-owned land. Honeywell's access to the land is authorized under Section V, Subsection (g) of Remediation Agreement 124536 between the City and Honeywell. Upon approval of the access agreement, access authorization provided by Section V, Subsection (g) will be replaced by the new access agreement.
Contract Term
The term of the access agreement will be month-to-month and will expire on the date the City determines that Honeywell has completed decommissioning all wells on Aviation Department-owned land.
Financial Impact
No rent or fees are due to the Aviation Department under the access agreement. Honeywell is conducting all remediation activities at its own expense.
