As we shared on this blog last week, Wolverine is installing a remediation system this year to intercept groundwater at our former tannery property in downtown Rockford. Over the past couple weeks, you may have seen some increased activity on the property, including setting air monitoring stations, bringing in construction equipment, and putting up fences to enclose the work area.
As part of this work, the portion of the White Pine Trail running through the property will be closed starting on Tuesday, May 28, and continuing until the work is complete later this year. The map below and at this link shows the portion being closed with a white line, and the temporary detour along Main Street with an orange line. The map also shows the planned truck route for the work with a blue line.
Wolverine and its contractors will strive to limit the impact of this work on neighboring residents, surrounding businesses, and the broader community. We will also continue keeping the community informed through regular updates on its blog, www.WeAreWolverine.com, and through information at kiosks and in other locations accessible to the public.
As always, residents with questions are encouraged to contact Wolverine directly at HouseStreet@wwwinc.com or (616) 866-5627.
