Vision Principle: A Robust and Prospering Economy. Background:  In October 2014, PPIC took title to a 6-acre parcel at 3920 Burtons Point Road from the Portsmouth School Board (the “PPIC Property”). PPIC and the City then entered into agreements with EPA and DEQ to incorporate the PPIC Property into the Atlantic Wood Superfund Site remediation program.  Under the remediation program, EPA is placing materials from other areas of the Superfund Site on the PPIC property and ultimately creating a berm which it will cap with clean soils. This will make the property marketable for development.  PPIC now may have the opportunity to acquire an 8-acre parcel adjacent to the PPIC Property (the “Vane Property”) for its assessed value ($409,900).  EPA and DEQ have indicated that they would support incorporating the Vane Property into the Superfund Site on the same terms and conditions as the PPIC Property.
