ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

The settlement would require the Purchaser to, among other things, use the Property as a recreational green space in accordance with use restrictions to preserve the protective site features and the monitoring, routine maintenance and reporting requirements set forth in the Purchaser Agreement.
