In Cook County Circuit Court case captioned Western Springs One LLC v. Marlin Environmental Inc., Case No. 09 L 964, Western Springs One LLC stated that it cost $5 million to remediate arsenic, lead, mercury, benzo(a)antracene, benzo (a) pyrene, and benzo(b)fluoranthene in the Phase 1 (eastern half) of Timber Trails.
Will this type of remediation be done in Phase 2 (the western half)?
