| 10:15:09 AM | David Hankins, Gorham Fayette School Superintendent - Update on School Contamination |
Commissioner Graf stated that he had invited Mr. Hankins to attend the meeting today to update the Board. He also recogned Paula Schaffner, a school board member; David Nunn, legal counsel; Dennis Fligor, Senator Voinovich aide; and Barbara Barker, Congressman Gillmor aide. Mr. Hankins expressed frustration over the ongoing contamination issue at the Fayette school. He stated his frustration came to a head at a meeting in Columbus recently where a depiction was presented of a contamination at a school where a kid dropped a mercury thermometer. He related that to the magnitude of contamination in the soils around the school and in the building. He stated many calls and letters have been done asking for help with the major issue that a new addition of the school be torn down to the contamination and a new school be built. The citizens of Fayette are up in arms about the fact they will be still paying for this addition as well as pay for a new school. 19% local share is what is needed from the community. There are options on land to build the facility. A fall ballot issue is being looked at. Fecal chloroform has also been detected in the water at the elementary building, which adds further distress to the district. Disruption of the education process is a major consideration and one that is ongoing. $3,206,024.00 would be the 19% local share. This cost would include the demolition and the cleanup would not be the school's responsibility. Ballot language is being prepared. Mr. Nunn, the attorney for the Village of Fayette as well as the school, presented an overview of the scenario and where they want to go. Looking for a solution that incorporates assistance from numerous sources and making the responsible party step up to provide significant assistance is the goal. Small clean-up efforts have been done by DH Holdings with the hopes that the process would be abated but it has not, the contamination continues to get worse. Mr. Nunn stated he has pictures of what the contamination looks like. He emphasized that there is no contingency plan if the EPA would come out and say that the facility is unsafe. Relocation makes the most sense when all is considered. Wells on the property tested in the fall and winter show increased amounts of contamination. Ms. Schaffner stated their school system is living in uncertainty that the testing may come back unfavorably at any time. She stated she has sent out 7 letters to different state officials and has only received response from 3. Commissioner Genter asked if the match was the matter in question. Mr. Nunn and Mr. Hankins both said yes. Mr. Nunn added that it would be most beneficial if the state would allow the cost of the addition to be considered as part of the match. He indicated that they are not getting good vibes in response. Commissioner Graf asked if it is a fair assumption that DH Holdings is working just under the Ohio EPA regulations in order to buy time to avoid rulings and obligation; and that they have no concern for the school children. Mr. Nunn said that would most likely sum it up. The lawsuit filed in Federal court is the school district againt DH Holdings for cliams of property damage, negligence with monetary award to compensate the school. Mr. Hankins reported the staff is very uneasy and has big concern both in safety and the disruption. He said that thousands of dollars have been spent by the school system in all the endeavors so far although he did not have a specific amount. Commissioner Graf thanked everyone for coming in and asked if there is anything the board can do. Mr. Hankins said just to stay by the phone. Mr. Fligor asked for some of the information shared today in writing, especially the costs. | |
