Lot 12 Remediation Project Begins Monday, April 14

The City of Santa Barbara's Clean Community Division will begin a groundwater remediation project at Parking Lot 12 at State Street and W. Gutierrez Street on Monday, April 14. The project will consist of enhanced bioremediation through injecting microbes into the groundwater to reduce contamination, changing harmful chemicals into less toxic ones. No soil excavation or groundwater pumping will take place.

The project is scheduled to be completed in early May. The Clean Community Division, Downtown Parking Team, and Rincon Consultants, Inc. have carefully planned this project to minimize the impact to parking availability in Lot 12, and the lot will remain open throughout the project with fewer available spaces. Nearby Lot 13 (adjacent to the Amtrak Station) and surrounding street parking will serve as overflow if the available spaces are full.
