Cargill Update | May 5, 2021

We are providing an update on the construction project.

Cargill has cleared junk previously dumped onsite and placed it near Otis Avenue ready for removal. Cargill intends to remove the junk pile within the remaining week (May 5-8).
Expect construction staging and site preparation, such as the junk pile noted above, selective tree clearing, and arrival of materials and equipment. These actions are typical of construction sites and do not violate City ordinances.
Actual construction such as grading and utility work should not occur until construction plans are approved.
For plan approval to occur the following are needed:
Revised plans to address review comments including those from the public, such as sidewalks
Iowa DNR General Permit #2 for storm water discharge
Removal of junk pile noted above
