The Idaho Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is asking for public comment regarding
a draft plan for cleaning up the former Kelley’s Auto Salvage
property in Heyburn, which remains contaminated with lead and
petroleum chemicals, the department said recently.
The Voluntary Remediation Work Plan is meant as a guide
describing how the proposed cleanup method will be undertaken.
The proposal involves targeted excavation of soil that has been
contaminated and removal of an above ground storage tank and piles of
debris. If all goes according to plan, the property will be open to
redevelopment as a commercial site.
The draft work plan is available for review on the DEQ’s
website, at its state office in Boise, at its Twin Falls office and
at the Burley City Library.
