NORWICH - The Chenango Industrial Development Agency has awarded Burrell’s Excavating, Inc. a $70,500 contract to remove possible contaminated debris at the Earl B. Clark Industrial Park in North Norwich. The local excavator’s bid was one of three submitted for the project.

There are seven identified parcels on the 35 acres site north of Norwich Pharmaceuticals and across from Rea-D-Pack Foods, Inc. on state Route 12 N. The site is not yet served by municipal water and sewer systems. Plans show each lot housing a 2,500 gallon tank that would function as a typical septic system for businesses not requiring extensive waste treatment.
