City and Honeywell Submit Proposal for Swann Park
October 5, 2007—City Solicitor George Nilson released the following statement on the plan to remediate Swann Park:
“Baltimore City and the Honeywell Corporation submitted a plan to clean up Swann Park today. In addition to other measures, the plan would protect all visitors by adding at least two feet of new soil on top of the entire park. The city would oversee and maintain the Park to ensure that this protection remains intact over time. It is anticipated that this plan would permit the Park to be re-opened in 2008.The next steps for the proposal include review by the Maryland Department of the Environment, a public meeting and comment period, and a final order for clean up by the state. The city looks forward to working with the public, the Maryland Department of the Environment, and the Honeywell Corporation to identify and implement the best remedy for Swann Park.”
