99 News for 2/13/13

THE TOWN OF POTSDAM HAS PROOF IT DID NOT CAUSE THE FUEL SPILL THAT DELAYED THE 35 MARKET STREET RENOVATION PROJECT.
UNDERGROUND PETROLEUM CONTAMINATION WAS DISCOVERED LATE LAST YEAR AS THE ELEVATOR SHAFT WAS EXCAVATED FOR THE CONVERSION OF THE LONG-TIME FORMER TOWN OFFICE BUILDING INTO A NEW, STAND-ALONE COURT COMPLEX. IT WAS BELIEVED THE CONTAMINATION CAME FROM A LEAKING FUEL TANK INSTALLED BELOW THE SIDEWALK IN ABOUT 1972 FOR THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR. IT WAS A LIQUOR STORE AT THE TIME, AND IS NOW A BAR. BORINGS WERE DONE AT TOWN EXPENSE TO LOCATE THE ORIGIN OF THE CONTAMINATION.
SUPERVISOR MARIE REGAN TOLD THE TOWN COUNCIL TUESDAY THERE WILL BE NO ENFORCEMENT ACTION AGAINST THE TOWN.
ENGINEER BRIAN JACOT FROM GREYSTONE STRATEGIES TOLD THE COUNCIL LAST MONTH IT WAS LIKELY THE TOWN WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE, BUT THE TESTING HAD TO BE DONE TO BE SURE. REGAN SAYS HER DISCUSSIONS WITH JACOT AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION INDICATE THE TOWN COULD GET SOME MONEY TO HELP PAY FOR THE INVESTIGATION.
THE NEW COURTROOM AT 35 MARKET IS ALMOST READY TO OCCUPY; THE COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY WAS THE FIRST IN THE NEW OFFICE BUILDING AT 18 ELM STREET.
IN OTHER BUSINESS TUESDAY, REGAN TOLD THE COUNCIL ALDI'S HAS PAID ITS ESCROW, AND WILL START THE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS NEW GROCERY ON THE POTSDAM-CANTON ROAD THIS SPRING.
