LOCATION: This site is located on the south side of the City of Evart. The site is located on two city lots and is approximately 132' x 132' in size and immediately south of the business district. The land to the south of the site is primarily residential.

SITE HISTORY: A concrete block building was built on the property in the middle 1940's. The building was previously used for a real estate office and an auto body repair shop. A steel pole barn was built sometime after the block building was constructed. During July 1999 the Osceola County Building Inspector condemned the block building.

CLEANUP ACTIONS: During the Spring of 2000, the building was demolished using CMI money from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. An additional $2,800 was spent by the DEQ to conduct a limited remedial investigation, which showed no further cleanup to be necessary.

REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: The property is owned by the City of Evart and is a highly developable property on the edge of the business district.
CONTACT INFORMATION: City of Evart, 231-734-2181, Steven Secor, City Manager.

LOCATION: The site is located on the north side of the City of Reed City just outside the city limits. The site is located on approximately 30 acres of land. The land surrounding the site is primarily residential property.

SITE HISTORY: A crude oil refinery operated at this location from approximately 1942 through 1963. A retail and wholesale petroleum sales operation currently exists on a portion of the former refinery property. An investigation of a leaking underground storage tank at the petroleum sales location revealed petroleum contamination from an upgradient source. The State conducted a remedial investigation of the former refinery and discovered contaminated soil and groundwater at the site. Petroleum products were also discovered on top of the groundwater.

CLEANUP ACTIONS: Over $1,006,000 in CMI and CRF funds have been spent at this site since 2001 to remove petroleum free product from the top of the groundwater, excavate and dispose of contaminated soil, which is acting as a source area for the groundwater contamination, and perform a groundwater remediation evaluation.

REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: The property is owned by several different individuals. Some portions of the facility are currently being considered for redevelopment as residential homes.
