HERC Hazmat Reports
In spring 2023, the City contracted with Hazardous Building Materials Consulting, LLC to carry out a limited Hazardous Materials Assessment of HERC 1 (big building) and a comprehensive assessment of HERC 2 (little building). The results reveal that both buildings contain hazardous materials, as expected due to their age and the prevailing construction materials utilized in the 1950s. Examples include lead paint, asbestos, and materials like paint and varnish that harbor PCBs.
These test results hold significant implications for these buildings' demolition (or renovation). The Homer City Council had a work session at 4 p.m. on Monday, August 14, 2023, to deliberate the results. This page will be updated following Council work sessions.
