Yesterday, the years long, volunteer based, effort to renovate the Norwood House achieved a milestone. The City approved the toxic material remediation plan presented by the Norwood Park Foundation. We will now solicit bids from licensed contractors to complete this first step in the journey to transform this public building into a usable, self sustaining, park facility.

This morning soil samples were obtained from drilling performed by Austin Geo-Logic. In the absence of any info about the foundation piers that were installed in 1998, our structural engineer needed to know soil conditions as a first step to determining viability of the existing foundation. Once core samples are analyzed, calculations can proceed.
We have been unable to obtain any information about the existing piers. A permit was obtained in 1997, but there is no record of inspections. That means we have to re-create the information needed to clear the expired permit before applying for any further ones.
Preliminary results show a layer of rock about 6 feet down, followed by some clay (typical of this area) and then solid rock beginning at 12 feet.
The toxic material removal plan will be re-submitted to the City hazmat expert this week. The actual work is now being called “remediation with intent to renovate”.
