Hamilton County’s “ESA” for the new jail site

The story of how these documents have been made available for public download really encapsulates the power of the digital revolution.  First, we have Michael Earl Patton’s original story—based off the information he was given, which suggested the County accepted the gift of an industrial site without conducting an Environmental Site Assessment.  This prompted Assistant County Administrator Jeff Aluotto to write a response, asking The Beacon to post it.  After a review of this letter revealed several unanswered questions, someone filed a records request for the actual copy of the ESA.  The large file was put on a CD, which Michael Earl Patton acquired, and gave to me so I could make it available to anyone who wishes to review it!

The biggest hurdle to overcome was one of size:  how could I host these large files online for anyone to download, at any time?  Meet MediaFire.  They offer up to 100MB per document.  Just visit the download page, and fetch the document.  So, thanks to them, you can download the ESA in two parts.

*Phase I Report

*Phase II Report

Follow the link, and you will find instructions for how to download the files.
