Title

Honeywell Right of Entry and Access Agreement (Ordinance S-44945)

 

Description

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, approval to enter into a Right of Entry and Access Agreement with Honeywell, Inc. at 3101 E. Madison St.

 

Report

Summary

The airport property located at 3101 E. Madison St. has been designated a "superfund site" by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), due to its levels of groundwater and soil contamination from years of hazardous waste exposure. Between 1956 to 1999, Motorola, Inc. and Honeywell were found to be responsible for contaminating areas near 52nd and McDowell Road and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Because of this, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) requires Honeywell to monitor groundwater contamination levels at 3101 E. Madison St. through several wells located on the property. A Right of Entry and Access Agreement is needed to allow Honeywell onto the airport property located at 3101 E. Madison St., to monitor these wells.

 

Honeywell’s current Right of Entry and Access Agreement 127236 will expire on Oct. 18, 2018. Honeywell will continue to need access to maintain, monitor, and conduct periodic sampling of the wells located on the property. Honeywell will continue to provide the City with copies of all non-privileged soil and water test results derived from soil borings/monitoring wells on the property, lawfully dispose of such soil borings and water samples, and obtain and comply with all appropriate and necessary permits.

 

Contract Term

The term of the Agreement is for five years with one, five-year renewal option.

 

Financial Impact

This is an access agreement and there is no financial impact.
