Hamilton County’s “ESA” for the new jail site
Posted by The Dean of Cincinnati
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.
Follow the link, and you will find instructions for how to download the files.

Go Beacon! Go MEP! (And thanks for introducing me to MediaFire. I checked the FAQs and they state that there’s no time limit on file storage.)

how is that showing “the power of the digital revolution”.
In the olden days MEP could have actually talked to someone besides a secretary and then found out the ESA was already done and not wasted his time composing an article that was worthless. seems like that would be a better plan to me

Gee, if formerly f had actually read the report or had read my earlier article on contamination, he would have found out that a Phase II ESA was NOT done.
That report would have given the county a good estimate on the amount of contamination at the Kahn’s site and allow them to make reasonable estimates for time and expense of clean-up. They could also have then applied for state aid for clean-up.
Not knowing what is on the site was my point all along.
