The Environmental Protection Agency, City of South Bend and Honeywell International have entered into an agreement to remediate areas within LaSalle Park and Beck’s Lake.

After extensive testing by the City and Honeywell, subsurface lead was identified at the site and will be the focus of clean-up efforts.

The city says the park, in its current condition, poses no imminent threat to the health of the community.

As for the clean-up, the plan calls for removal of topsoil and subsoil and their replacement with new, clean soil in certain areas of LaSalle Park. Similar and limited soil removal and replacement will occur in two adjacent non-City-owned properties.

A public information session will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 8, at the Charles Black Community Center for anybody with questions or concerns.
